Abstract

The ferroelectric domain structure has been investigated in bismuth-ferrite rhombohedral phase films prepared on the rhombohedral plane of sapphire by solid-phase epitaxy. The piezoelectric modulus has been estimated to be d33 ~ 2 pm/V. In films of the Bi25FeO39–BiFeO3 and Bi2Fe4O9–BiFeO3 systems on sapphire, the magnetoelectric-switching effect has been observed in bismuth ferrite crystallites without deposition of exchange-coupled layers. The values of the magnetic moment in bismuth ferrite microcrystallites have been estimated.
