Abstract Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3, BFO) as one of the few single-phase room-temperature
multiferroics, has aroused ever-increasing enthusiasm in research communities during the …

The celebrated renaissance of the multiferroics family over the past ten years has also been
that of its most paradigmatic member, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3). Known since the 1960s to be …

We introduce the refractiveindex. info database, a comprehensive open-source repository
containing optical constants for a wide array of materials, and describe in detail the …

While silicon-based diodes have been the dominant solar cell type, novel photovoltaic
mechanisms [1, 2] are being explored in pursuit of lower cost or improved efficiency. In a …

A new group of thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs) have been reported to exhibit properties
different from conventional crystalline metal films, though their bulk forms are already well …

We demonstrate a tunable bandgap from 2.32 eV to 2.09 eV in phase-pure BiFeO 3 by
controlling the particle size from 65 nm to 5 nm. Defect states due to oxygen and microstrain …

Nonlinear optics is an essential component of modern laser systems and optoelectronic
devices. It has also emerged as an important tool in probing the electronic, vibrational …

Abstract Domain switching is crucial for achieving desired functions in ferroic materials that
are used in various applications. Fast control of domains at sub‐nanosecond timescales …

Photocatalytic technology utilized semiconductors and renewable solar energy have been
envisaged as one of the most privileged solutions to assuage and even circumvent both the …

There is an increasing understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of
magnetoelectric coupling and multiferroic order in both single-phase and composite …
