Polycrystalline Bi0.975La0.025Fe0.975Ni0.025O3 (BLFNO) film is fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(111) substrate by sol–gel method. It is found that the well-crystallized BLFNO film is polycrystalline, and the Pt/BLFNO/Pt capacitor possesses good ferroelectric properties with remnant polarization of...

ABSTRACT:The classic Diamond-Dybvig model of banking assumes perfect competition and abstracts from issues ofmoral hazard. To reflect conditions prevailing in UK banking, however, we incorporate market powerand risk-taking by banks with limited liability, with explicit analytical results for the...
