Abstract: The physical nature of the ferroelectric (FE), ferrielectric (FEI) and antiferroelectric (AFE) phases, their coexistence and spatial distributions underpins the functionality of antiferrodistortive ([…]

Abstract: Samarium substituted bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) ceramics prepared by sol-gel synthesis method were studied using both local scale and microscopic measurement techniques in order to clarify an evolution of[…]

This year, during the X Republican Scientific student conference, undergraduates and graduate students “Current issues physics and technology” organized by our project partner from Gomel, dr Alina Semchenko gav[…]

In a Special Issue entitled “Magnetic Multiferroics” of a Magnetochemistry MDPI journal, Dr. Dmitry Karpinsky has been invited as a guest editor. Below there is an invitation letter from Dr. Dmitry Karpinsky to su[…]

Abstract: The predictability of a certain effect or phenomenon is often equated with the knowledge of relevant physical laws, typically understood as a functional or numerically derived relationship between the[…]

Abstract: The aim of the work was to check how the introduction of alkali and cobalt ions into a manganese structure can affect the structural disorder and, in consequence, lead to the changes (improvements) of[…]

Abstract: The physics of ferroelectric domain walls is explored using the Bayesian inference analysis of atomically resolved STEM data. We demonstrate that domain wall profile shapes are ultimately sensitive to the[…]

Abstract: The effect of the treatment temperature on the structural properties of sol-gel films of samarium-doped BiFeO3 was established. Optimal compositions of BiFeO3:Sm films and their heat treatment modes have[…]

Abstract: Interest in magnetic nanoparticles is primarily due to their practical use. In this work, for the production of nanocrystalline powders of pure and gadolinium doped iron oxides, the extraction-pyrolytic[…]

Abstract: We calculate a spin-polarized conductance in a nanostructure with a composition of a “high-temperature ferromagnetic insulator-graphene-ferroelectric film,” with special attention paid to control of the[…]

Abstract: Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for the analysis of mesoscopic and atomically resolved images and spectroscopy in electron and scanning probe microscopy, with the applications ranging from[…]

Abstract: A physical understanding of the nature of spatially modulated phases (SMPs) in rare-earth-doped antiferrodistortive (AFD) multiferroics and how they behave close to surfaces and interfaces is lacking.[…]

Abstract: We developed a Landau-type theory for the description of polar phenomena in low-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), specifically exploring the flexoelectric origin of the polarization[…]

Abstract: Samarium doped BiFeO3 compounds having nano-size crystallites were prepared by the ethylene glycol assisted sol-gel synthesis method. X-ray diffraction and SEM measurements as well as Raman spectroscopy[…]

Abstract: 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[…]

Abstract: Charge transport across the interfaces in complex oxides attracts a lot of attention because it allows creating novel functionalities useful for device applications. It has been observed that movable[…]

Abstract: Polar van der Waals chalcogenophosphates exhibit unique properties, such as negative electrostriction and multi-well ferrielectricity, and enable combining dielectric and 2D electronic materials. Using[…]
