Enhanced ferromagnetism in BiFeO3 powders by rapid combustion of graphite powders

The magnetoelectric applications of BiFeO3 are strongly limited by the very weak ferromagnetism, due to the cycloidal modulated antiferromagnetic structure. In this paper, a rapid combustion method was adopted to prepare BiFeO3 powders. The amorphous BiFeO3 precursors prepared by sol-gel method were...
