On the room temperature multiferroic BiFeO3: magnetic, dielectric and thermal properties

Magnetic and electrical properties of single-phase multiferroic BiFeO3

Fabrication, magnetic, and ferroelectric properties of multiferroic BiFeO3 hollow nanoparticles

Hollow BiFeO3nanoparticles were synthesized by an electrospray route for the first time. The phase purity and structure have been investigated by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Transmission and scanning electron microscope investigations revealed that the as-obtained BiFeO3 hollow spheres were polycrystalline, with a shell thickness of 35 nm. The formation mechanism can be possibly e...

magnetic dispersion and anisotropy in multiferroic BiFeO3.

We have determined the full magnetic dispersion relations of multiferroic BiFeO3. In particular, two excitation gaps originating from magnetic anisotropies have been clearly observed. The direct observation of the gaps enables us to accurately determine the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction and the single ion anisotropy. The DM interaction supports a sizable magnetoelectric coupling in thi...

Optical Properties of Multiferroic BiFeO3 Films

Lightwave communication systems are predominantly used for handling high-speed data traffic. Long-distance ground-based systems particularly depend on optical fibers. Several business and research facilities employ direct fiber connections, and fiber to the home (FTTH) technology is foreseeable in the near future. These developments are driven particulary by the high demand for bandwidth necess...

Room temperature magnetic-field manipulation of electrical polarization in multiferroic thin film composite BiFeO3/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3

The electrical polarization in an epitaxially BiFeO3 film grown on La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/SrTiO3 is observed to be enhanced greatly by a magnetic field at room temperature. The simultaneous ferromagnetic order and ferroelectric polarization shown by the BiFeO3 film causes the strong coupling of the magnetic and ferroelectric domains in the BiFeO3 films. It was proposed that the activation energy for th...
