Bismuth ferrite Nanoparticles
Bismuth Ferrite
Rhombohedral Structure.
Multi-ferroic.
Curie temperature(tc=825 c)
Neel tempreature (tN=360 c)
MULTIFERROICS (Definition)
Materials that simultaneous exhibit two or more ferroic properties in the same phase.
Ferroelectric(anti) Ferromagnetic(anti) Ferroelastic(anti)

Synthesis of BFOSynthesis refers to a combination of two or more entities that together form something new.
Two approaches Top-down Bottom-up
TOP - DOWNBOTTOM - UP
Breaking Down Matter into more basic building blocks.
Fabrication is often more easily
A lot of material is wasted
Used in Fibres.
Useful in making large scale nanostructure.
Building up complex systems by combining Simple atomic level components.
Limitations in how big structures can be made
This approach leads to less wastage.
Approach Used currently.
Nature use this approach.
Sol-Gel method-introduction
Method in which solid particles are dispersed in Liquid(sol) and together they form a 3-D network extending throughout the liquid(gel).
Involves hydrolysis.
Low temperature process.
By this, we get amorphous nano crystals.
Being a Bottom-Up approach, this method is cost effective.
Steps Involved in typical Sol Gel Method

Advantages of SOL - GEL MethodCheap Method
Homogeneous Compound can be achieved.
Very small particle size can be obtained.
Low operating temperature .
CharacterizationCharacterization refers to the study of materials features such as its composition, structure,& various properties like physical, electrical, magnetic etc.
In our experiment , we use X-Ray Diffraction method to study the crystal structure of BFO nano particles obtained.
X-rays Consists of high Energy Photons (em waves).
EM radiation with wavelength from 0.01 nm to 10 nm falls into category of X- ray.
K.E. of a moving electron is converted into a photon.
Inverse Photoelectric effect.
Unaffected by Electric and Magnetic fields.
Faster the electron, more penetrating resulting X-rays.
Greater the number of electrons, greater intensity of X-ray beam.
X-ray Diffraction
XRD can be used to look at various characteristics of the single crystal or
polycrystalline materials using Braggs Law ,
n = 2d sin

These values are given by JCPDS cards.Number of atoms in a unit cell can be calculated
and found to be 6.

Result and Discussion
We have prepared Bismuth Ferrite Nano particles using electro spinning method.
Nano particles were heated at 400 c temperature in order to get pure phase.
Crystalline size is found using Debye Scherrer formula= 33.87 nm.
Prepared nano particles were characterized by XRD.
The results are in concurrence with existing literature.
Nanoparticle-based technologies cover different fields of science.
Nanoparticles, are key components in the development of new advanced technologies.Nanoparticle characterization is necessary to establish understanding and control of nanoparticle synthesis and applications.
