Abstract

Growth of single-crystalline Bi6FeCoTi3O18 thin films and their magnetic–ferroelectric properties

“…22,23) Similar phenomena have occurred during Aurivillius bulk synthesis as well. 23,24) To achieve high-quality single-crystalline samples in this experiment, we employed the thin-film epitaxy growth method, which can be a superior method of growing compounds that are unstable in their bulk forms. Indeed, it provides a new route through which the intrinsic multiferroic properties of such compounds can be revealed.…”

The Microstructural Characterization of Multiferroic LaFeO3-YMnO3 Multilayers Grown on (001)- and (111)-SrTiO3 Substrates by Transmission Electron Microscopy

“…A quantitative method, like the first-principles calculation of formation energy in the different domain structures [25], should be applied to further explore the physical origin of the multi-domain formation.…”

Epitaxial Bi9Ti3Fe5O27 thin films: a new type of layer-structure room-temperature multiferroic

“…14,15 Similar phenomena have occurred during the synthesis of bulk Aurivillius compounds as well. 15,16 To achieve high-quality single-crystalline films in this work, we employed pulsed laser deposition, which can be a superior method for growing highly epitaxial complex oxides that are unstable in bulk. In this work, c-axis-oriented BTFO epitaxial thin films were successfully fabricated with uniform m = 8 Aurivillius structures by optimizing growth parameters, namely the growth temperature and oxygen pressure.…”
