Neutron Diffraction Investigations of Magnetism in BiFeO3 Epitaxial Films
The recovery of a modulated magnetic structure in epitaxial BiFeO 3 thin fi lms as revealed by neutron diffraction is reported. The magnetic structure in thin fi lms is found to strongly depend on substrate orientation. The substrate orientation causes different strain–relaxation processes resulting in different thin-fi lm crystal structures. The (110) oriented fi lm with a monoclinic structura...

متن کاملTwin wall distortions through structural investigation of epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films
In this work, epitaxial (001) BiFeO3 thin films were deposited on SrTiO3 and TbScO3 single-crystal substrates and analyzed with high-resolution x-ray diffraction—reciprocal space mapping. A basic method was developed to extract structural details of the as-grown BiFeO3 film, including (i) epitaxial strain, (ii) ferroelastic domains, and (iii) lattice rotations. After demonstrating the method, e...
متن کاملDomain Engineering for Enhanced Ferroelectric Properties of Epitaxial (001) BiFeO Thin Films
Adv. Mater. 2009, 21, 817–823 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gm Multiferroic BiFeO3 has attracted great interest due to its promising application tomagnetoelectric devices. In addition, the high remanent polarization and piezoelectric response of BiFeO3 thin films, which are comparable to those of conventional Ti-rich lead zirconia titanate, suggested BiFeO3 as a strong candidate for lead-free nonvolati...
متن کاملIntriguing photo-control of exchange bias in BiFeO3/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 thin films on SrTiO3 substrates
To date, electric fields have been widely used to control the magnetic properties of BiFeO3-based antiferromagnet/ferromagnet heterostructures through application of an exchange bias. To extend the applicability of exchange bias, however, an alternative mechanism to electric fields is required. Here, we report the photo-control of exchange bias in BiFeO3/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 thin films on an SrTiO3 s...
