Lead free Multiferroic composites that comprise Co0.6Zn0.4Fe1.7Mn0.3O4 (CZFMO) and 72.5(Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3)-22.5(Bi1/2K1/2TiO3)-5(BiMg1/2Ti1/2O3) (BNT-BNT-BMgT) were synthesized using sol-gel method and it’s structural, ferroelectric and magnetic properties were studied. The X-ray diffraction displayed the single phase formation of parent phases and the presence of two phases in the composites. The samples showed a well saturated polarization-electric field hysteresis loops. The remnant polarization and saturation polarization values are decreased with increasing ferrite content. Room temperature (RT) magnetic measurements show that composites are soft magnetic. The composite with x = 0.2, showed the enhanced magnetic and ferroelectric properties. Moreover, these ME composites provide a great opportunity as potential lead free systems for multifuntional device applications.

Leakage Current Mechanism

Bi1-xMgxFeO3 (BMFO, x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08) multiferroic films were directly synthesized on flexible stainless steel (FSS), save the bottom electrode process, by means of sol–gel spin-coating technology. The effects of different bending conditions on ferroelectric, dielectric and leakage-current properties of BMFO films were investigated. The leakage-current densities of BiFeO3 (BFO, x = 0) and BMFO (x = 0.06) films were 5.86 × 10−4 and 3.73 × 10−7 A/cm2, which shows that the BMFO (x = 0.06) has more than three orders of magnitude lower than that of BFO film. The residual polarization (2 Pr) can be enhanced from 120 to 140 μC/cm2. The proper doping of Mg in BiFeO3 film could provide an effective method for reducing the leakage-current values as well as boosting the ferroelectric properties. In this study, the leakage-current mechanism of low electric field and high electric field of BMFO film is analyzed and established. In addition, the flexible BMFO film maintains practical ferroelectric and leakage-current properties at retention time of 106 s under different symmetry bending conditions. These results indicate that the BFMO film will be very practical in opto-electronic and storage device applications.

In recent years there has been renewed interest in zinc oxide semiconductor, mainly triggered by its prospects in optoelectronic applications. Doping ZnO with various elements has been a popular technique to gain the extrinsic properties for device applications. In this work we have studied the effect of Gadolinium (Gd) concentration on properties of sol–gel derived Gd doped ZnO films. The Gd concentration varying from 1 to 8 atomic percent (at.%). The structural, morphological and optical analyses were monitored by (XRD, Bruker D8 Advance), atomic force microscope (AFM, Tenko XE-100) and ultra violet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis, Shimadzu UV 1800), respectively. Observations from the XRD results showed that all films exhibit the hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure and higher peak intensity observed at (002) peak. Based on XRD analysis, we also found that Gd concentration has a significant effect on the crystallite size and strain of the films. Moreover, the AFM analysis revealed that the surface become more uniform and denser as the Gd concentration increased. In addition, the optical transmittance spectra indicate that all films were highly transparent (>90%) in the visible range which slightly improved with increasing Gd concentration. The detail explanation on the mechanism will be discussed in detail in this paper.

A novel sol-gel processing method has been developed to fabricate epitaxial (SrBa)Nb2O6 (SBN) thin films on MgO substrates. It involves the introduction of a SBN self-template layer on MgO by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Effects of the SBN self-template layer on the structural and morphological properties of the sol-gel-derived SBN films were investigated. Compared to the sol-gel-derived SBN films without a self-template layer, our new technique produces SBN films of excellent epitaxy and more dense grains with uniform distribution. This can be explained by the self-template-layer-induced homoepitaxial growth. The innovative processing method with combination of PLD and sol-gel is a promising technique in preparing high-quality, thick epitaxial SBN films for electro-optics device applications.

The present work aims at evaluating the outcome of zinc precursors on the crystal structure, shape, surface and optical properties of ZnO nanopowders. Zinc oxide nanopowders are fabricated via simple, cost-effective, low-temperature, the sol-gel method using different zinc precursors such as zinc nitrate and zinc chloride. The structural properties of the obtained ZnO nanopowders are studied using X-ray diffraction spectra and their morphology from SEM micrographs. Further, Fourier transform infrared spectra reveals the existence of functional groups that supports the formation of zinc oxide. Moreover, optical absorption and emission of ZnO nanopowders were evaluate during ultraviolet-visible and photoluminescence spectra. The results of this study revealed that the precursor is significant in altering the crystallite size, shape, optical absorption and emission entities of nanopowders. In addition, the role of zinc precursors to fabricate nanopowders that is suitable for various optoelectronic device applications were also discussed.
