Multiferroic La-doped Bi1-xLaxFeO3 thin films were prepared on conductive indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass substrates through a simple sol-gel process. The crystal structure of La-doped Bi1-xLaxFeO3 thin films annealed at different temperature was determined to be rhombohedral of R3m space and free of secondary phases. The grain size of La-doped BiFeO3 thin films tends to become larger and the grain boundary is gradually ambiguous compared to pure BiFeO3. The double remanent polarization 2Pr of Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 thin film annealed at 500°C is 6.66 µC/cm2, which is slightly improved than that of pure BiFeO3 thin film. With the increase of La-doping levels, the dielectric constant is increased and the dielectric loss is obviously decreased.
