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 …

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 …

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 …

ABO3 perovskite‐type solid solutions display a large variety of structural and physical
properties, which can be tuned by chemical composition or external parameters such as …

Ferroelectrics, with their spontaneous switchable electric polarization and strong coupling
between their electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical responses, provide functionalities …

Simple Bi-based compounds, BiMO3, are quite interesting materials. They offer large
variations in crystal symmetries, polarity, and properties. Their chemical simplicity makes …

Perovskite oxides form a fascinating class of materials because they possess many active
degrees of freedom that result in a large variety of physical effects. One important structural …

The link between the crystal distortions of the perovskite structure and the magnetic
exchange interaction, the single-ion anisotropy (SIA), and the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) …

We present a first-principles study of ferroelectric domain walls (FE-DWs) in multiferroic
BiFeO 3 (BFO), a material in which the FE order parameter coexists with antiferrodistortive …

Using femtosecond laser pulses, coherent GHz acoustic phonons are efficiently
photogenerated and photodetected in BiFeO 3 (BFO) multiferroic single crystal. Due to the …
