Graphene-$BiOCl/Fe_3O_4$ nanocomposites were synthesized from $BiOCl/Fe_3O_4$ and graphene in an electric furnace operating at $700^{\circ}C$ for 12 h. The nanocomposite surface morphology and crystal structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The produced graphene-$BiOCl/Fe_3O_4$ nanocomposites acted as efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dyes, as confirmed by UV-vis spectrophotometry.

Y$_3$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$(YIG), $Y_3$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$(Bi:YIG), TbBi:YIG를 (GdCa)$_3$(GaMgZr)$_{5}$O$_{12}$ (SGGG)기판 위에 Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE)법으로 단결정 후막을 성장시켰다. 기판회전속도, 과냉도, 성장시간을 고정하여 치환되는 원소의 종류와 양에 따라 가네트 단결정의 격자상수, Bi 치환양, 표면형상, 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. TbBi:YIG 조성의 경우 격자상수는 12.500 $\AA$으로 기판의 격자상수인 12.496 $\AA$에 근접하게 나타났으며, 포화자계는 150 Oe로 향상된 결과가 나타났다.

$0.97Bi_{0.5+x}(Na_{0.78}K_{0.22})_{0.5-3x}TiO_3-0.03LaFeO_3$ lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated by a solid state reaction method. $LaFeO_3$ additives were added to $Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.78}K_{0.22})_{0.5}TiO_3$ for volatile compensation of bismuth and sodium ions in the sintering process. To create A-site vacancies, the mole ratio and charge valence of A-site ions ($Bi^{3+}$, $Na^+$ and $K^+$) were controlled. The improved piezoelectric properties were observed by addition of $LaFeO_3$ and control of A-site vacancies. In particular, a $d_{33}^*(S_{max}/E_{max})$ value of 614pm/V and an electric field induced strain of 0.33% was observed in $0.97Bi_{0.505}(Na_{0.78}K_{0.22})_{0.485}TiO_3-0.03LaFeO_3$ ceramic.

We have evaluated the ferroelectric and electrical properties of pure $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) and $Bi_{0.9}A_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (A=Nd, Tb) thin films on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by using a chemical solution deposition method. The remnant polarization ($2P_r$) of the $Bi_{0.9}Tb_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (BTFVO) thin film was approximately $65{\mu}C/cm^2$, with a maximum applied electric field of 950 kV/cm and a frequency of 10 kHz, where as that of the $Bi_{0.9}Nd_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (BNFVO) thin film was approximately $37{\mu}C/cm^2$ with a maximum applied electric field of 910 kV/cm. The leakage current density of the co-doped BNFVO thin film was four orders of magnitude lower than that of the pure BFO thin film, at $2.75{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ with an applied electric field of 100 kV/cm. The grain size and uniformity of the co-doped BNFVO and BTFVO thin films were improved, in comparison to the pure BFO thin film, through structural modificationsdue to the co-doping with Nd and Tb.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) have been extensively studied because of their promising low-cost alternatives to conventional semiconductor based solar cells. DSSCs consist of molecular dye at the interface between a liquid electrolyte and a mesoporous wide-bandgap semiconductor oxide. Most efforts for high conversion efficiencies have focused on dye and liquid electrolytes. However, interface engineering between dye and electrode is also important to reduce recombination and improve efficiency. In this work, for interface engineering, we deposited semiconducting ferroelectric $BiFeO_3$ with bandgap of 2.8 eV on $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and nanotubes. Photovoltaic properties of DSSCs were characterized as a function of thickness of $BiFeO_3$. We showed that ferroelectric $BiFeO_3$-coated $TiO_2$ electrodes enable to increase overall efficiency of DSSCs, which was associated with efficient electron transport due to internal electric field originating from electric polarization. It was suggested that engineering the dye-$TiO_2$ interface using ferroelectric materials as inorganic modifiers can be key parameter for enhanced photovoltaic performance of the cell.

$(1-x)Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.78}K_{0.22})_{0.5}TiO_3-xLaFeO_3$ ceramics were fabricated using a solid state reaction method. The microstructural, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and polarization hysteresis loops (P-E). XRD results indicated that BNKT ceramic crystal structure modified by $LaFeO_3$ was transformed from a ferroelectric tetragonal to a non-polar pesudo-cubic phase with increased $LaFeO_3$ content. The improved piezoelectric properties resulted from the addition of $LaFeO_3$ up to 3 mol%. The $LaFeO_3$ 3mol% sample showed markedly improved piezoelectric and strain behaviors in comparison with pure BNKT ceramic.

In this paper, 10 nm $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles were modified on the surface of $2{\mu}m$ flower-like bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) spheres by a facile co-precipitation method. The results showed that the $Fe_3O_4/BiOCl$ nanocomposites exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and superparamagnetic property ($M_s=3.22emu/g$) under visible light for Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. Moreover, the $Fe_3O_4-BiOCl$ photocatalyst possessed magnetic recyclable property, which could maintain high photocatalytic effective even after 20 cycle times. These characteristic indicates a promising application for wastewater treatment.

Pure $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) and (Eu, V) co-doped $Bi_{0.9}Eu_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\delta}}$ (BEFVO) thin films were deposited on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by chemical solution deposition. The effects of co-doping were observed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrical properties of the BEFVO thin film were improved as compared to those of the pure BFO thin film. The remnant polarization ($2P_r$) of the BEFVO thin film was approximately $26{\mu}C/cm^2$ at a maximum electric field of 1,190 kV/cm with a frequency of 1 kHz. The leakage current density of the co-doped BEFVO thin film ($4.81{\times}10^{-5}A/cm^2$ at 100 kV/cm) was two orders of magnitude lower than of that of the pure BFO thin film.

Ferroelectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric effects for lanthanum modified $BiFeO_3-PbTiO_3$ ceramics have been investigated. The data show that magnetoelectric polarization coefficient, ${\alpha}_p$ is due to a linear coupling between polarization and magnetization, and that ${\alpha}_p$ is independent of dc magnetic bias and ac magnetic field. The values of ${\alpha}_p$ and magnetic induced susceptibility for lanthanum modified $BiFeO_3-PbTiO_3$ ceramics are much larger than those of single $BiFeO_3$ crystal. We believe that the magnetoelectric effect is significantly enhanced by breaking of the cycloidal spin state of a long-period spiral spin structure due to randomly distributed charged imperfections.
