Synthesis and characterization of electrical features of bismuth manganite and bismuth ferrite: effects of doping in cationic and anionic sublattice: Materials for applications
Publication date: February 2018Source: Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials, Volume 64, Issue 1Author(s): A. Molak, D.K. Mahato, A.Z. SzeremetaAbstractThe electrical, magnetic, and structural features of bismuth manganite (BM), e.g., BiMnO3, and bismuth ferrite (BF), e.g., BiFeO3, are reviewed. Induced multiferroicity and enhanced magnetoelectric coupling are required for various modern device applications. BM and BF were synthesized using standard high-temperature sintering and processes such as sol–gel, hydrothermal, or wet chemical methods combined with annealing. The size and morphology of the...
