Preparation and Preliminary Nonlinear Optical Properties of BiFeO3 Nanocrystal Suspensions from a Simple, Chelating Agent-Free Precipitation Route

Preparation of stable BiFeO3 nanocrystal suspensions through a simple, low-cost precipitation technique is described. Amorphous precursors are first precipitated from metal nitrate salts in highly basic KOH solutions, and a short high-temperature annealing step is then performed to induce crystalliz...
