가시광 LED 빛에 반응하는 페로브스이트형 bismuth ferrite (BFO) 광촉매 제조방법과 가시광 광촉매 반응 특성을 조사하였다. BFO는 졸-겔법에 따라 제조하였다. 제조된 BFO는 주로 BiFeO₃ 구조로 이루어져 있으며 Bi₂₄Fe₂O₃₉ 구조도 포함한 나노 크기의 결정을 이루고 있었다. BFO 나노 결정은 약 600 nm까지 자외선과 가시광선을 흡수하는 것을 UV-visible 확산 반사 스펙트럼으로부터 확인하였다. 확산 반사 스펙트럼으로부터 구한 BFO의 밴드갭은 약 2.2 eV로 나타났다. 포름알데히드는 585 nm와 613 nm 파장의 가시광 LED 램프의 빛과 BFO 광촉매와의 광반응에 의하여 분해되어 제거되었다. BFO의 가시광 LED 빛에서 광촉매 활성은 BFO의 좁은 밴드갭에서 기인하는 것으로 보인다.

A novel, green, versatile and magnetically retrievable BiFeO₃/CDR (Bismuth ferrite/coriander) nanocomposites were fabricated via simple wet chemical method utilizing in situ functionalized, cheap coriander seed powder (CDR 5%, 10%, 15% and 20 wt%) as a fuel to enhance the efficiency of pristine BiFeO₃. A comparative study was performed between BiFeO₃/CDR and BiFeO₃/CNT (Bismuth ferrite/carbon nanotubes) nanocomposites for the removal of various hazardous pollutants from waste water. The successful synthesis of the fabricated nanomaterials was monitored via FT-IR, Powder XRD, FE-SEM, CV, VSM, CHNS/O and XPS studies. The synthesized nanomaterials were employed for the oxidative degradation of Carbol fuchsin, Reactive black 5, Ciprofloxacin and Doxorubicin; adsorption of a pesticide malathion; and reduction studies for Para-nitrophenol (PNP). The fabricated nanomaterials (BiFeO₃/CDR) showcased excellent efficiency and comparable results with (BiFeO₃/CNT) for the removal of model pollutants. Moreover, synthesized green heterojunction was also testified for mixture of textile and pharmaceutical waste. Hence CDR can be utilized as a better alternative of CNTs.

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.

A typical ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steel sheet was subjected to pulsed laser surface remelting (LSR) and corrosion test in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) at 550 ℃. There present two modification zones with distinct microstructures in the LSRed specimen: (1) remelted zone (RZ) consisting of both bulk δ-ferrite grains and martensitic plates and (2) heat-affected zone (HAZ) below the RZ, mainly composed of martensitic plates and high-density precipitates. Martensitic transformation occurs in both the RZ and the HAZ with the Kurdjumov-Sachs and Nishiyama-Wassermann orientation relationships followed concurrently, resulting in scattered orientations and specific misorientation characteristics. Hardnesses of the RZ and the HAZ are 364 ± 7 HV and 451 ± 15 HV, respectively, considerably higher than that of the matrix (267 ± 3 HV). In oxygen-saturated and oxygen-depleted LBE, thicknesses of oxide layers developed on both the as-received and the LSRed specimens increase with prolonging corrosion time (oxide layers always thinner under the oxygen-depleted condition). The corrosion resistance of the LSRed F/M steel in oxygen-saturated LBE is improved, which can be attributed to the grain-refinement accelerated formation of dense Fe-Cr spinel. In oxygen-depleted LBE, the growth of oxide layers is very low with both types of specimens showing similar corrosion resistance.

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT)/ bismuth ferrite (BFO) multilayer thin films have been fabricated by the spin-coating method on Pt(200 nm)/Ti(10 nm)/$SiO_2$(100 nm)/p-Si(100) substrates using $BiFeO_3$ and $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ metal alkoxide solutions. The PZT/BFO multilayer thin films show a uniform and void-free grain structure, and the grain size is smaller than that of PZT single films. The reason for this is assumed to be that the lower BFO layers play an important role as a nucleation site or seed layer for the formation of homogeneous and uniform upper PZT layers. The dielectric constant and dielectric losses decreased with increasing number of coatings, and the six-layer PZT/BFO thin film has good properties of 162 (dielectric constant) and 0.017 (dielectric losses) at 1 kHz. The remnant polarization and coercive field of three-layer PZT/BFO thin films were 13.86 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 37 kV/cm respectively.

To understand the defect chemistry of multiferroic $BiFeO_3-based$ systems, we synthesized nonstoichiometric $Bi_{1+x}FeO_{3{\pm}{\delta}}$ ceramics by conventional solid-state reaction method and studied their structural, dielectric and high-temperature charge transport properties. Incorporation of an excess amount of $Bi_2O_3$ lowered the Bi deficiency in $BiFeO_3$. Polarization versus electric field (P-E) hysteresis loop and dielectric properties were found to be improved by the $Bi_2O_3$ addition. To better understand the defect effects on the multiferroic properties, the high temperature equilibrium electrical conductivity was measured under various oxygen partial pressures ($pO_2{^{\prime}}s$). The charge transport behavior was also examined through thermopower measurement. It was found that the oxygen vacancies contribute to high ionic conduction, showing $pO_2$ independency, and the electronic carrier is electron (n-type) in air and Ar gas atmospheres.

Multiferroics exhibiting the coexistence and a possible coupling of ferromagnetic and ferroelectric order are attracting widespread interest in terms of academic interests and possible applications. However, room-temperature single-phase multiferroics with soft ferromagnetic and displacive ferroelectric properties are still rare owing to the contradiction in the origin of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity. In this study, we demonstrated that sizable ferromagnetic properties are induced in the ferroelectric bismuth ferrite-barium titanate system simply by introducing Co ions into the A-site. It is noted that all modified compositions exhibit well-saturated magnetic hysteresis loops at room temperature. Especially, 70Bi_0.95Co_0.05FeO₃-30Ba_0.95Co_0.05TiO₃ manifests noticeable ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties; the spontaneous polarization and the saturation magnetization are 42 µC/cm² and 3.6 emu/g, respectively. We expect that our methodology will be widely used in the development of perovskite-structured multiferroic oxides.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Lead-free $(1-x)(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3-xBiFeO_3$ceramics prepared by a conventional solid state reaction method were investigated in the range of x = 0~10 mol%. Piezoelectric coefficient was increased from 31 pC/N at x = 0 mol% to 64 pC/N at x = 6 mol% then decreased with increasing x. Electromechanical coupling factor ($K_p$) was increased up to 0.18 at x = 10 mol%. On the other hand, mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) was decreased. Grain size was not much changed with various x and a single perovskite with tetragonal symmetry was maintained at all compositions forming a solid solution between $(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3$ and $BiFeO_3$. Depolarization temperature ($T_d$) was gradually decreased with increasing x from $302^{\circ}C$ at x = 0 to $245^{\circ}C$ at x = 10 mol%.
