Charge transport and dielectric characteristics of Sm x Bi1−x FeO3 thin films from the perspective of grain and grain boundary properties

“…Bismuth ferrite BiFeO 3 (BFO) is probably one of the most studied multiferroic materials due to its potential to develop many technological applications based on its multiple functional properties, chemical versatility, and others [1]. Possible applications include solar cells [2,3], photocatalysis to tumor theranostics [4,5], the next generation of non-volatile to study the BFO system from a scientific and technological point of view.…”

0.78BiTi0.1Fe0.8Mg0.1O3-0.22CaTiO3 Nanoscale-Thick Thin Films for Doping-Enhanced Electric Applications

“…The ferroelectric Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT) ceramic exhibits a high remanent polarization, and its doping into BFO-based materials can reduce the leakage and increase the electric properties. − Song et al analyzed the electric behaviors of BiFeO 3 -Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (BFO-NBT) thin films with a lower leakage current (∼10 –7 A/cm 2 ) and a moderate maximum polarization ( P max = 30 μC/cm 2 ) . Chen et al prepared the BiFeO 3 /Na 0.5 Bi 4.5 Ti 4 O 15 composite films, which exhibited a lower leakage current (∼2.35 × 10 –7 A/cm 2 ) and a high saturation polarization ( P s = 124.09 μC/cm 2 ) .…”

Zinc‐Doped BiFeO3Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity on Acid Red‐85 Dye

“…Furthermore, BiFeO 3 a multiferroic semiconductor, offers to be a good alternate due to its (i) band gap lying in the visible light region of the spectrum, (ii) inherent multiferroic nature helping in efficient charge separation, and (iii) magnetic nature making the easy removal of particles after treatment [21–23] . As a result, many researchers have been working on the treatment of waste water using BiFeO 3 nanomaterials and applying various strategies to enhance its photocatalytic activities like synthesis methods, doping, co‐catalyst and heterostructures [24–27] …”

“…[21][22][23] As a result, many researchers have been working on the treatment of waste water using BiFeO 3 nanomaterials and applying various strategies to enhance its photocatalytic activities like synthesis methods, doping, co-catalyst and heterostructures. [24][25][26][27] Moreover, zinc-doped BiFeO 3 (BFZO) shows evidence of magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature. It has been reported that increasing the zinc concentration in the system improves the ferroelectric properties of BFO by increasing the magnetic properties up to the optimum doping concentration.…”
