Bismuth ferrite suffers from high leakage currents and the presence of a complex
incommensurate spin cycloidal magnetic ordering, which has limited its commercial viability …

Light-matter interactions that lead to nonthermal changes in size of the sample constitute a
photostrictive effect in many compounds. The photostriction phenomenon was observed in …

Raman spectra, supplemented by powder x-ray diffraction and magnetization data of
isovalently A-and B-site substituted BiFeO 3 in the Bi 1− x La x FeO 3 (0≤ x≤ 1), Bi 1− x Tb …

Evolution of the crystal structure of ceramics BiFeO3–BaTiO3 across the morphotropic phase
boundary was analyzed using the results of macroscopic measuring techniques such as X …

Physical and structural origins of morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) in ferroics remain
elusive despite decades of study. The leading competing theories employ either low …

The concentration range of the stability of polar (R3c) and antipolar phases in the Bi 1− x RE
x FeO3 (RE–La‐Dy) solid solutions has been determined by X‐ray study of the …

BiFeO3 is recognized as the most important room temperature single phase multiferroic
material. However, the weak magnetoelectric (ME) coupling remains as a key issue, which …

Optomechanical effects in polar solids result from the combination of two main processes,
electric field-induced strain and photon-induced voltages. Whereas the former depends on …

Singe phase bismuth ferrite doped by yttrium (Bi 1− x Y x FeO 3, x= 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2
and 0.25) was synthesized by solid-state reaction followed by sintering. Their structural …

The photovoltaic (PV) properties of polycrystalline Bi 1− x La x FeO 3 (x= 0–0.3) films have
been explored. The X-ray diffraction study reveals that there is a gradual phase transition …
