Among the different types of multiferroic compounds, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3; BFO) stands
out because it is perhaps the only one being simultaneously magnetic and strongly …

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3), a perovskite material, rich in properties and with wide functionality,
has had a marked impact on the field of multiferroics, as evidenced by the hundreds of …

Many ferroelectric solid solutions exhibit enhanced electromechanical properties at the
morphotropic boundary separating two phases with different orientations of polarization. The …

Piezoelectric materials convert between electrical and mechanical energies such that an
applied stress induces a polarization and an applied electric field induces a strain. This …

Different effluents from textile industries which are dumped into the water bodies have been
a major concern of the modern world. The uncontrolled discharge of the synthetic textile …

Piezoelectric sensors and actuators are a mature technology, commonplace amongst a
plethora of industrial fields including automotive, maritime and non-destructive testing …

Photocatalytic technology has got great attention in recent days because of increasing

Abstract Polycrystalline (1− x) BiFeO 3–xBaTiO 3 (0.11≤ x≤ 0.5) ceramics have been
prepared by the solid-state reaction method to investigate their phase structure, dielectric …

The ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (1− x) BiFeO 3–xPbTiO 3 (BF-PT) ceramics
were investigated as a function of tetragonal distortion. The latter was adjusted by employing …

Electron-density analyses of tetragonal and cubic 0.4 PbTiO3-0.6 BiFeO3 (PTBF) have
indicated that the (Bi, Pb)-O bond in tetragonal PTBF exhibits strong covalency compared …
