Abstract

This chapter has a focus on multiferroics in particular bismuth ferrite and its production techniques (BiFeO3, BFO). BFO is recognized to be the major ABO3 perovskite-type single-stage compound that has multiferroic at room temperature and is therefore seen as the most encouraging up-and-comer for applications in next-generation storage, information and spintronics. Since, ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic characteristics are included concurrently; BFO has started to draw attention to it. BFO exhibits an electrical and antiferromagnetic ordering of the cycloid spin structure (Tc = 850 °C). In ABO3 multiferroic, bismuth has B sites with Fe3+ ions and 6 neighboring anions of oxygen, forming FeO6 octahedra linked by a sharing of their corners. Unfilled space between FeO6 and the A-site is mainly occupied by the Bi3+ ions. There are numerous methods to synthesize BFO nanoparticles like sol–gel auto-combustion, solid-state, co-precipitation etc. In this chapter, we discuss the various methods of synthesis in detail.
