Combined structural, electrical, magnetic and optical characterization of bismuth ferrite nanoparticles synthesized by auto-combustion route

Phase-pure multiferroic bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanoparticles were synthesized by energy efficient, simple and low temperature sol–gel followed by auto-combustion route. Highly crystalline and well-shaped BFO nanoparticles of size about 50 nm were observed in TEM. Thermal analysis was used to optimize...
