Microwave-Assisted Solvothermal Route for One-Step Synthesis of Pure Phase Bismuth Ferrite Microflowers with Improved Magnetic and Dielectric Properties.

ABSTRACT: The prototypical plum-free, one-phase multiferric ferrite BiFeO₃ (BFO) is solid, parallel, with a high ferroelectric Curie temperature and Neel temperature and antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric propagation. This work aims to synthesize pure-phase BFO in the quickest possible way. We followed the microwave-assisted solvothermal (MWAST) method to achieve pure-phase BFO in the shortest duration of 3 min. The experiment involves simple optimizations with KOH concentration and microwave power levels. The surface morphology along with magnetic properties of BFO synthesized via the MWAST method are altered with varying KOH concentrations and microwave (MW) power levels. Our X-ray diffraction findings reveal that the pure-phase BFO is formed at 800 W MW power, and the structural chara
