Magnetic ordering induced giant optical property change in tetragonal BiFeO3
Magnetic ordering could have significant influence on band structures, spin-dependent transport, and other important properties of materials. Its measurement, especially for the case of antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering, however, is generally difficult to be achieved. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of magnetic ordering detection using a noncontact and nondestructive optical method. Taking t...

ing the full potential linearized augmented plan wave in framework density functional theory(DFT) with wien2k code. The band structure and energy gap of the bulk structures are calculated with GGA-PBE, GGA+U and GGA+MBJ approximations, and results obtained from the MBJ function are more consistent with the reported experimental results. The optical properties such as real and imaginary parts...
متن کاملCa-Doping of BiFeO3: The Role of Strain in Determining Coupling between Ferroelectric Displacements, Magnetic Moments, Octahedral Tilting, and Oxygen-Vacancy Ordering
Elastic and anelastic properties of a member of the BiFeO3-CaFeO2.5 perovskite solid solution (BCFO), which is known to have multiple instabilities, have been investigated by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. This phase, with 64% Bi and 36% Ca on the A site, is antiferromagnetic (TN ∼650 K) and has an ordered arrangement of oxygen vacancies with tetragonal lattice geometry. The inverse mechanic...
متن کاملGiant elastic tunability in strained BiFeO3 near an electrically induced phase transition.
Elastic anomalies are signatures of phase transitions in condensed matters and have traditionally been studied using various techniques spanning from neutron scattering to static mechanical testing. Here, using band-excitation elastic/piezoresponse spectroscopy, we probed sub-MHz elastic dynamics of a tip bias-induced rhombohedral-tetragonal phase transition of strained (001)-BiFeO3 (rhombohedr...
متن کاملEffect of strain on voltage-controlled magnetism in BiFeO3-based heterostructures
Voltage-modulated magnetism in magnetic/BiFeO3 heterostructures can be driven by a combination of the intrinsic ferroelectric-antiferromagnetic coupling in BiFeO3 and the antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic exchange interaction across the heterointerface. However, ferroelectric BiFeO3 film is also ferroelastic, thus it is possible to generate voltage-induced strain in BiFeO3 that could be applied o...
