Nanostructured Multiferroics: Current Trends and Future Prospects

This chapter discusses about nanostructured multiferroics, current trends and future prospects, with many different topics such as single-phase multiferroics, multiferroic study of pure BiFeO3 synthesized using various complexing agents, nanostructured multiferroics, and multiferroic systems of BiFeO3 and BaTiO3 nanostructures. Effective properties of multilayered nanomultiferroics, correlation between grain size, transport and multiferroic properties of Ba-doped BiFeO3 nanoparticles, specific heat and magnetocaloric properties of some manganite-based multiferroics and preparations, characterization, and applications of multiferroic nanocomposites are also studied.
