Multiferroic materials, which show simultaneous ferroelectric and magnetic ordering, exhibit
unusual physical properties—and in turn promise new device applications—as a result of …

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 …

We have explored the influence of deposition pressure and temperature on the growth of Bi
Fe O 3 thin films by pulsed laser deposition onto (001)-oriented Sr Ti O 3 substrates. Single …

Bismuth-containing heterometallic oxides are promising candidates for a variety of
applications with respect to the microelectronics industry. This is not only because of their …

Electromagnetic multiferroics, which combine (anti) ferroelectricity and (anti)
ferromagnetism, have great potential for practical applications in novel devices and various …

A low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis route was utilized to fabricate single-phase
BiFeO3 (BFO) crystallites. Effects of the initial KOH concentration, reaction temperature and …

Recent reports on epitaxial BiFeO 3 films show that the crystal structure changes from nearly
rhombohedral (“R like”) to nearly tetragonal (“T like”) at strains exceeding≈− 4.5%, with the …

We have grown epitaxial Bi Fe O 3 thin films with smooth surfaces on (001),(101), and (111)
Sr Ti O 3 substrates using sputtering. Four-circle x-ray diffraction and cross-sectional …

The influence of ion modification using rare-earth cations on crystal structures, along with
the insulating and ferroelectric properties of Bi Fe O 3 (BFO) thin films was investigated …

We have investigated structural phase transitions across a ferroelectric-to-antiferroelectric
phase boundary in epitaxial (001) oriented Bi (1− x) Sm x FeO 3 thin films. For the Sm 3+ …
