With lower oxygen vacancies VOs ?lms cooled in higher oxygen pressure Received in revised form 24 December 2013 show obviously decrease in leakage current. Higher level of VOs led to higher free carrier concentration Accepted 26 December 2013 and hence is believed to be responsible for the increase in higher photoconductivity. It is evident that Available online 6 January 2014 BLFO ?lms with higher VOs cooled in lower oxygen pressure and/or light illumination induce a higher car- rier injection, ni and thus the conductive mechanism is dominated by space-charge-limited conduction.
