Summary: This paper summarizes the development of bismuth ferrite thin films in recent years, introduces the method and challenges of chemical solution route preparation. It also proposes an all-solution chemical-solution deposition (AS-CSD) method to prepare ferroelectric films with different orientations, and studies their growth, structure, and ferroelectric properties.

Summary: CoFe2O4-BiFeO3 (CFO-BFO) nanocomposites were synthesized using a combination hydrothermal/citric acid sol-gel method, resulting in high-purity crystalline nanocomposites. The sintered sample with a 2:2 ratio exhibited high magnetization value, indicating dipolar interaction between CFO and BFO. The results suggest a reliable magnetic-field control of electric polarization in these multiferroic CFO-BFO nanocomposites.

Summary: In this study, the high-pressure structures of the charge-transfer complex TTFTCNQ were systematically investigated using Raman and synchrony X-ray diffraction methods. No first-order phase transition was observed up to 15 GPa, providing insight into the structural stability of CTCs under pressure. This research offers a new pathway for studying the evolution of CTC structures with pressure.

Summary: The study finds that optical excitation can generate ultrafast stress in the classical multiferroic material BiFeO3. The time scale of stress generation is determined by the dynamics of the excited electronic states and the coupling between electronic configuration and structure. The experimental results provide insights into stress generation mechanisms and point to new applications of nanoscale multiferroics and related ferroic complex oxides.

Summary: The study developed nanocomposites with engineered multiferroic properties by combining soft ferromagnetic MnFe2O4 and ferroelectric BiFeO3. Characterization techniques such as XRD, FESEM, and HRTEM were used to analyze the crystallographic phase, structure, and morphology of the composites. The results demonstrate the potential application of these nanocomposites in magnetoelectric coupling, electrical performance, and magnetic response.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of strain on the ferroelectricity and dynamic magnetic response of BiFeO3. The results show that the ferroelectric soft mode is significantly enhanced under tensile strain, and low energy magnon modes are suppressed, indicating a transition from cycloidal to homogeneous magnetic state. Effective Hamiltonian calculations reveal the competition between the ferroelectric and antiferrodistortive modes in the tensile regime.

Summary: In this study, different additives were added to Dy-modified BiFeO3-PbTiO3 ceramics system, and it was found that all additives promoted the precipitation of the ferrimagnetic dysprosium iron garnet phase, while additives containing potassium suppressed grain size. The best combination of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic behavior was found in a mixture of additives.

Summary: Polarized inelastic neutron-scattering experiments were conducted to investigate the anisotropic behavior of low-energy spin-wave excitations in a multiferroic BiFeO3. The study successfully separated magnetic excitation modes below 6 meV in and out of the cycloidal plane, and identified several magnon modes including two anisotropic modes that were previously observed using optical spectroscopies. The research also discovered other magnon modes that are not active in optical measurements.

Summary: This paper proposes a continuum approach to study the magnetoelectric multiferroic BiFeO3, combining the ferroelectric phase field method and micromagnetic simulations. The modeling effort allows for the self-consistent description of the different order parameters on the same scale. The model is used to analyze the domain wall topology and the influence of FE domain boundaries on magnetic domain walls, as well as to simulate spin-wave transmission and magnetoelectric switching. The study provides insights for further research on nanostructures of BFO at the mesoscale.

Summary: Lead-free multiferroic ceramics BPFM-BT were successfully fabricated with enhanced ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties, narrow bandgap, and improved photostriction performance by introducing Pr into the Bi3+ site. Optimizing the thickness of the sample improved the photo-induced strain and light response speed, while an external magnetic field reduced the photostrictive performance. These ceramics show great potential in the multifunctionality application of wireless photosensitive sensors.
