Multiferroic coupling in nanoscale BiFeO3 (1107.5133v1)
Published 26 Jul 2011 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci and cond-mat.str-el
Abstract: Using the results of x-ray and neutron diffraction experiments, we show that the ferroelectric polarization, in ~22 nm particles of BiFeO3, exhibits a jump by ~30% around the magnetic transition point T_N (~635 K) and a suppression by ~7% under 5T magnetic field at room temperature (<<T_N). These results confirm presence of strong multiferroic coupling even in nanoscale BiFeO3 and thus could prove to be quite useful for applications based on nanosized devices of BiFeO3.
