Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a quantitative analytical technique that monitors the
mass of a sample from 1 mg to several g as a furnace ramps temperature to as high as …

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 …

The thermodynamic stability of BiFeO3 is investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction
and isothermal heat treatment of Bi2O3− Fe2O3 powder mixture as well as phase pure …

The obtaining of multiferroic BiFeO3 as a pure single-phase product is particularly complex
since the formation of secondary phases seems to be unavoidable. The process by which …

Mixed powders of Bi2O3 and Fe2O3 are shown to yield single-phase, dense nanostructured
polycrystals of BiFeO3 in reaction flash sintering experiments, carried out by applying a field …

Abstract Rare earth Sm substituted Bi 1− x Sm x FeO 3 with x= 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.10
polycrystalline ceramics were synthesized by a rapid liquid phase sintering method. The …

A chemical co-precipitation method is proposed for the synthesis of nano-sized multiferroic
BiFeO3 powders. Pure phase can be obtained by controlling the chemical co-precipitation …

Bismuth ferrite powders were synthesized by a simple sol–gel method at the temperature as
low as 450° C. Single phase BiFeO3 powders with a rhombohedral perovskite structure …

BiFeO3 polycrystalline ceramics were prepared by the mixed oxide route and a chemical
route, using additions of Co, ZnO, NiO, Nb2O5 and WO3. The powders were calcined at …

In this investigation, we have synthesized BiFeO3 nanoparticles by varying hydrothermal
reaction temperatures from 200° C to 120° C to assess their visible-light driven …
