A Facile Synthesis and Characterization of Highly Crystalline Submicro-Sized BiFeO<sub>3</sub>

In this study, a highly crystalline bismuth ferrite (BFO) powder was synthesized using a novel, very simple, and cost-effective synthetic approach. It was demonstrated that the optimal annealing temperature for the preparation of highly-pure BFO is 650 °C. At lower or higher temperatures, the format...
