Orientation dependence of the critical magnetic field for multiferroic BiFeO3

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...

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...

Single-domain multiferroic BiFeO3 films

The strong coupling between antiferromagnetism and ferroelectricity at room temperature found in BiFeO3 generates high expectations for the design and development of technological devices with novel functionalities. However, the multi-domain nature of the material tends to nullify the properties of interest and complicates the thorough understanding of the mechanisms that are responsible for th...

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...
