$BiFeO_3$ (BFO)박막에 전위금속 Pb와 Co를 각각 치환환 박막을 chemical solution deposition 방법으로 Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) 기판위에 증착하였다. Bi 자리에 Pb와 Co를 20 at.% 치환하였으며, 치환된 $Bi_{0.8}Pb_{0.2}FeO_3$ (BPFO), $Bi_{0.8}Co_{0.2}FeO_3$ (BCFO) 박막의 구조적, 자기적 특성 변화를 BFO 박막과 비교하여 조사하였다. XRD 패턴을 분석한 결과 BPFO, BCFO 박막들은 모두 rhombohedrally distorted perovskite 구조였으며 불순물인 pyrochlore 상이 약하게 관측되었다. 치환이 이루어진 BPFO, BCFO 박막들의 자기 이력곡선은 안정된 포화곡선을 나타냈으며 BFO의 포화값(5 emu/$cm^3$)에 비해 크게 증가된 55 emu/$cm^3$, 35 emu/$cm^3$의 값을 나타냈다. 또한 보자력장(coercive field, Hc)값도 BFO의 500 Oe보다 크게 증가된 1,200 Oe, 800 Oe의 값을 보였다.

Recently, many lead-free piezoelectric materials have been investigated for the replacement of existing Pb-based piezoelectric ceramics because of globally increasing environmental interest. There has been remarkable improvement in piezoelectric properties of some lead-free ceramics such as $(Bi,Na)TiO_3-(Bi,K)TiO_3-BaTiO_3$, $(Na,K)NbO_3-LiSbO_3$, and so on. However, no one still has comparable piezoelectric properties to lead-based materials. Therefore, new lead-free piezoelectric ceramics are required. $BiFeO_3$ has a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure at room temperature and a very high Curie temperature ($T_C$= 1,100 K). And a very large electric polarization of 50 ~ 60 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ has been reported both in epitaxial thin film and single crystal $BiFeO_3$. Therefore, a high piezoelectric effect is expected also in a $BiFeO_3$ ceramics. The recent research activities on $BiFeO_3$ or $BiFeO_3$-based solid solutions are reviewed in this article.

$BiFeO_3$ films grown on (111) $SrTiO_3$ substrate have a rhombohedral structure, identical to that of single crystals. On the other hand, films grown on (110) or (001) $SrTiO_3$ substrate are monoclinically distorted from the rhombohedral structure due to the epitaxial constraint. The easy axis of spontaneous polarization is close to [111] for the variously oriented films. Dramatically enhanced polarization and magnetization have been found for hetero-epitaxially grown $BiFeO_3$ thin films comparing to that of $BiFeO_3$ crystals. The results are explained in terms of an epitaxially-induced transition between cycloidal and homogeneous spin states, via magneto-electric interactions.

In this paper, in order to develop the composition ceramics with the outstanding piezoelectric properties, $Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})_{0.03}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.09}(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})_{0.88}O_3$ ceramics substituted with $BiFeO_3$ were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The addition of small amount of $Li_2CO_3$ and $CaCO_3$ as sintering aids decreased the sintering temperature of the ceramics. The effects of $BiFeO_3$ substitution on their piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated. when 0.015 mol $BiFeO_3$ was substituted, the optimal physical properties of $d_{33}=590pC/N$, $E_c=8.78kV/mm$ were obtained.

Pure $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) and codoped $Bi_{0.9}A_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}Zn_{0.025}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (A=Eu, Dy) thin films were prepared on Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by chemical solution deposition. The remnant polarizations (2Pr) of the $Bi_{0.9}Eu_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}Zn_{0.025}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (BEFZO) and $Bi_{0.9}Dy_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}Zn_{0.025}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (BDFZO) thin films were about 36 and $26{\mu}C/cm^2$ at the maximum electric fields of 900 and 917 kV/cm, respectively, at 1 kHz. The codoped BEFZO and BDFZO thin films showed improved electrical properties, and leakage current densities of 3.68 and $1.21{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^2$, respectively, which were three orders of magnitude lower than that of the pure BFO film, at 100 kV/cm.

Using the $PbO-B_2O_3-Bi_2O_3$ flux system, $(TbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(TbIG)$, $(EuBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuIG)$ and $(EuTbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuTbIG)$ films were grown on $(GdCa)_3(GaMgZr)_5O_{12}(SGGG)$ substrates by the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). The saturation magnetization of the grown TbIG, EuIG and EuTbIG films was about 150, 950 and 125 Oe, respectively. The TbIG films resulted in the single magnetic domain while the EuIG and EuTbIG films were observed to be the multi magnetic domains by magnetic force microscope (MFM).

Structural and thermo-analytical studies were carried out to understand the phase formation kinetics of the single phase $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$ (BTFO) nanocrystals in $Bi_2O_3-Fe_2O_3-TiO_2$, during the polymerized complex (PC) synthesis method. The crystallization of Aurivillius phase $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$ layered perovskite was found to be initiated and achieved under the temperature conditions in the range of ${\sim}$800 to 1050$^{\circ}C$. The activation energy for grain growth of $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$ nanocrystals (NCs) was very low in case of NCs formed by PC (2.61 kJ/mol) than that formed by the solid state reaction (SSR) method (10.9 kJ/mol). The energy involved in the phase transformation of Aurivillius phase $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$ from $Bi_2O_3-Fe_2O_3-TiO_2$ system was ${\sim}$ 69.8 kJ/mol. The formation kinetics study of $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$ synthesized by SSR and PC methods would not only render a large impact in the nanocrystalline material development but also in achieving highly efficient visible photocatalysts.

$Tb_2Bi_1Ga_xFe_{5-x}O_{12}$(x=0, 1) fabricated by sol-gel and vacuum sealed annealing process. $Tb_2Bi_1Ga_xFe_{5-x}O_{12}$(x=0, 1) have been studied by x-ray diffraction(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer, and $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The crystal structures were found to be a cubic garnet structure with space group Ia3d. The determined lattice constants $a_0$ of x = 0, and 1 are $12.497\AA$, and $12.465\AA$, respectively. The distribution of gallium and iron in $Tb_2Bi_1Ga_xFe_{5-x}O_{12}$ is studied by Rietveld refinement. Based on Rietveld refinement results, the terbium and bismuth ions occupy the 24c site, iron ions occupy the 24d, l6a site, and nonmagmetic gallium ions occupy the 16a site. In order to verify the magnetic site occupancy of iron and gallium, we have taken $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra for $Tb_2Bi_1Ga_xFe_{5-x}O_{12}$(x=0, 1) at room temperature. From the results of $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra analysis, the absorption area ratios of Fe ions for $Tb_2Bi_1Fe_5O_{12}$ on 24d and 16a sites are 60.8 % and 39.2 %, respectively, and the absorption area ratios of Fe ions for $Tb_2Bi_1Fe_5O_{12}$ on 24d and 16a sites are 74.7 % and 25.3 %, respectively. It is noticeable that all of the nonmagnetic Ga atoms occupy the 16a site by vacuum annealing process.

We investigated the effect of Fe₃O₄ addition on the critical temperature of (Bi, Pb)-2223 polycrystalline samples. Bi_1.6Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_10+δ + x wt. % Fe₃O₄ (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) samples were prepared by using a solid-state reaction method. The analysis of X-ray diffraction data indicates that as Fe₃O₄ is added, dominant phase of the sample changes from Bi-2223 to Bi-2212 with an increasing Bi-2201 phase. The transition temperature of the samples drastically decreased with the Fe₃O₄ addition. The resistance data of samples with x = 0.2 and 0.4 showed a double transition indicating a coexistence of Bi-2223 and Bi-2212 phase while the samples with x = 0.6 and 0.8 showed a single transition with a semiconducting behavior. This phase transition may originate from changes in local structure of the Bi-2223 system by Fe₃O₄ addition. Analysis of the pair distribution function of the Cu-O pair in the CuO₂ plane calculated from extended X-ray absorption fine structure data revealed that the oxygen coordination of copper ion changes from CuO₄ planar type (x = 0.0 - 0.4) to CuO₅ pyramidal type (x = 0.6, 0.8). The correlated Debye-Waller factor, providing information on the atomic disorder within the CuO₂ plane, shows an inverse relation to the coordination number. These results indicate that addition of Fe₃O₄ changes the oxygen distribution around Cu in the CuO₂ plane, causing a phase transition from Bi-2223 to more stable Bi-2212/Bi-2201 phases.
