Abstract

The review article provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO₃), focusing on its structural, electrical, and magnetic properties, as well as an extensive survey of the existing literature. Bismuth ferrite is a multifunctional material with significant potential for a range of technological applications, particularly in the fields of spintronics, energy harvesting, and memory devices. The review systematically examines various synthesis methods—including chemical vapor deposition, solid-state processes, sol-gel, and hydrothermal techniques—and their effects on the morphology, crystal structure, and overall properties of BiFeO₃. The study highlights how specific fabrication techniques influence the material's ferroelectric and magnetic characteristics, exploring their implications for performance in diverse applications. By synthesizing findings from recent studies, this review aims to provide a quantitative understanding of how modifications to the material's structure impact its functionality, offering valuable insights for future advancements in the use of BiFeO₃ in advanced technologies.

期刊介绍： Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international journal covering all the fields of applied science investigating the physics of the advanced materials for future applications. Other areas covered: Experimental and theoretical aspects of advanced materials and devices dealing with synthesis or structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, photonics, engineering applications, and uniquely pertinent measurement or analytical techniques. Current Applied Physics, published since 2001, covers physics, chemistry and materials science, including bio-materials, with their engineering aspects. It is a truly interdisciplinary journal opening a forum for scientists of all related fields, a unique point of the journal discriminating it from other worldwide and/or Pacific Rim applied physics journals. Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review. The Journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society.
