A giant polarization value in bismuth ferrite thin films

Structural, magnetic and dielectric properties of nano-crystalline Ni-doped BiFeO3 ceramics formulated by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

“…This coupling provides an additional opportunity for the design of magnetoelectric and spintronic devices [2][3][4]. Multiferroic materials have gained tremendous attention on account of their potential applications in various fields, such as bubble memory device, microwave, satellite communication, audio-video, digital recording [4,5], sensor, multiple state memory element, electro-ferromagnetic resonance  device [6], thin film capacitor, non-volatile memory [7], optoelectronics, solar energy device [4], highdensity ferroelectric magnetic random access memory [8], and permanent magnet [9]. A multifunctional BiFeO 3 compound demonstrates a magnetoelectric coupling having Curie temperature T C ≈ 1100 K and G-type antiferromagnetism temperature T N ≈ 640 K [10,11].…”

Abnormal variation of band gap in Zn doped Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 nanoparticles: Role of Fe-O-Fe bond angle and Fe-O bond anisotropy

“…The effects of Zn dopant on structural, electrical, and magnetic properties for BFO thin films have been reported. [15][16][17] The reports demonstrated that the introduction of Zn is an effective way to enhance the ferroelectric behavior of BFO films. However, the effects of Zn doping on the optical properties for BFO nanoparticles have seldom been reported.…”
