Abstract

We report the growth process, optical and magnetic properties of BiFeO3 (BFO, short for BiFeO3) nanorods synthesized by a hydrothermal approach. The nanorods have a pseudo-cubic rhombohedral perovskite structure and the calculated crystallite size (D XRD) is about 75 nm according to the Scherrer formula. A typical magnetic hysteresis loop was observed at room temperature, indicating that the BiFeO3 nanorods show a ferromagnetic order. The remnant magnetization (2M r) and coercive field (2H C) are 0.012 emu/g and 705 Oe, respectively. Optical properties display that the absorption edge is 490 nm and the band gap is 2.53 eV.
