Abstract Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3, BFO) as one of the few single-phase room-temperature
multiferroics, has aroused ever-increasing enthusiasm in research communities during the …

Among the different types of multiferroic compounds, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3; BFO) stands
out because it is perhaps the only one being simultaneously magnetic and strongly …

Multiferroic nanomaterials have attracted great interest due to simultaneous two or more
properties such as ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and ferroelasticity, which can promise a …

The celebrated renaissance of the multiferroics family over the past ten years has also been
that of its most paradigmatic member, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3). Known since the 1960s to be …

Piezoelectric materials are used in numerous applications requiring a coupling between
electrical fields and mechanical strain. Despite the technological importance of this class of …

Multiferroics are compounds that show ferroelectricity and magnetism. BiFeO3, by far the
most studied, has outstanding ferroelectric properties, a cycloidal magnetic order in the bulk …

Non-coplanar swirling field textures, or skyrmions, are now widely recognized as objects of
both fundamental interest and technological relevance. So far, skyrmions were amply …

Piezoelectrics interconvert mechanical energy and electric charge and are widely used in
actuators and sensors. The best performing materials are ferroelectrics at a morphotropic …

Multiferroic materials have attracted much interest due to the unusual coexistence of
ferroelectric and (anti-) ferromagnetic ground states in a single compound. They offer an …

Dielectric capacitors are emerging energy‐storage components that require both high
energy‐storage density and high efficiency. The conventional approach to energy‐storage …
