SYNTHESIS AND GROWTH OF BISMUTH FERRITE (BiFeO3) WITH LANTHANUM (La) AND YTTRIUM(Y) DOPED NANO-STRUCTURES ON ANODIC ALUMINUM OXIDE (AAO) TEMPLATE

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

BiFeO3 nanostructures (BFO) have gained enormous consideration owning to the novel size-dependent properties and outstanding multi-ferroic properties at room temperature. In the past few years, research has been carried out to study and characterize BFO and doped BFO structures on various substrates. In this work BFO, Lanthanum doped BFO, Yttrium doped BFO are fabricated on AAO template. The resultant films show the successful incorporation of BFO, La BFO and Y BFO in nano-porous AAO template. The particle size as well as band-gap shows a decrease due to the addition of BFO, La BFO and Y BFO in nano-porous AAO template.
