  • One-dimensional multiferroic nanostructured composites have drawn increasing interest as they show tremendous potential for multifunctional devices and applications. Herein, we report the synthesis, structural and dielectric characterization of barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$)-bismuth ferrite ($BiFeO_3$) composite fibers that were obtained using a novel sol-gel based electrospinning technique. The microstructure of the fibers was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The fibers had an average diameter of 120 nm and were composed of nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study of the composite fibers demonstrated that the fibers are composed of perovskite cubic $BaTiO_3$-$BiFeO_3$ crystallites. The magnetic hysteresis loops of the resultant fibers demonstrated that the fibers were ferromagnetic with magnetic coercivity of 1500 Oe and saturation magnetization of 1.55 emu/g at room temperature (300 K). Additionally, the dielectric response of the composite fibers was characterized as a function of frequency. Their dielectric permittivity was found to be 140 and their dielectric loss was low in the frequency range from 1000 Hz to $10^7$ Hz.

  • 최근 전자 소자의 소형화 집적화에 따른 대응 방안으로 한 개의 소자에 두가지 이상의 물리적 특성을 갖는 다기능성 소재의 개발에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 다강체는 강유전성 (ferroelectricty ), 강자성 (ferromagnetism), 강탄성 (ferroelasticity) 중에서 두 개 이상의 현상을 나타내는 재료로, 이중에서도 특히 강유전성과 강자성을 동시에 나타내는 다강체가 학계 및 산업계로부터 집중적인 관심을 받으면서 최근 이 분야 연구가 국내 외적으로 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 이는 다강체를 이용하면 기존의 강유전 현상을 이용한 메모리소자인 FRAM이나 차세대 메모리소자로 주목을 받고 있는 MRAM을 결합한 새로운 방식의 메모리소자의 탄생이 가능할 수도 있기 때문이다. 즉, 일부 다강체가 나타내는 magnetoelectric (ME) 현상을 이용하면 자기적으로 신호를 인가하여 전기신호로 데이터를 저장하거나 또는 전기적으로 신호를 인가하여 자기적으로 데이터를 저장하는 것이 가능해지기 때문이다. 이 연구에서는 다강체 특성을 가지는 $Fe/BaTiO_3$ 이중박막을 IBSD(Ion Beam Sputter Deposition)을 이용하여 (111)Pt/Ti/$SiO_2/Si$ 기판에 증착을 하여 구조적, 전기적, 자기적 특성을 토론할 것이다.

  • The compositional dependence of bismuth iron oxides and effect of La-substitutions in the structure of $BiFeO_3$ compounds were investigated, which compounds were synthesized by conventional ceramic processing. It is shown that some of bismuth iron oxides including $BiFeO_3$ show the narrow single phase region. The effect of La-doping in $BiFeO_3$ was presented as disappearance of many impurity phases of Bi-Fe-O compounds. The lower electrical resistivity was obtained as those compositions of Fe deficient region and La-doped $BiFeO_3$. The saturation magnetization of La-doped $BiFeO_3$ was increased with La content. The dielectric dispersion was also observed for those Bi-Fe-O compounds with Fe deficient and La-doped $BiFeO_3$ at low frequencies under 1 kHz.

  • Nd and Ti co-doped bismuth ferrite $(Bi_{1-x}Nd_x)(Fe_{1-y}Ti_y)O_3$ (x, y = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) ceramics and thin films were synthesized through the conventional mixed-oxide process and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), respectively. Nd and Ti co-doping effect was examined with emphasis on how these impurities affect phase formation behavior as there could be the improvement in leakage current problems often associated with multiferroic $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) thin films. The lattice constants of BFO ceramics decreased with Nd doping concentration up to 10mol%, while they further decreased with Nd and Ti co-doping to about 20%. BFO thin films obtained by the PLD process revealed random polycrystalline structure. Similar to bulk BFO ceramic, Nd and Ti co-doping effectively suppressed the formation of unwanted secondary phase and thus stabilized the perovskite phase in BFO thin films.

  • Multiferroic thin films with composition $0.9BiFeO_3-0.1Ba(Cu_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ were epitaxially grown by pulsed laser deposition on $SrRuO_3(001)/SrTiO_3$ (000) substrate $0.9BiFeO_3-0.1Ba(Cu_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$, which is assumed to be morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), that showed superior dielectric, ferroelectric and magnetic properties in our study on polycrystalline films. The structures of epitaxially grown films were characterized by means of XRD. From P-E measurements, samples exhibited typical ferroelectric hysteresis loops and large remnant polarization, whose value is much larger than those of pure BFO film. The enhancement of dielectric, ferroelectric, magnetic properties was attributed to the structural distortion induced by the BCN addition and the high physical stress effect.
