TL;DR: In this article, a combination of magnetic, piezoelectric and photoexcitation functionalities of La doped bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3)-based multiferroics (La-BFOs) were synthesized to achieve a strong magnetic response and high piezo-photocatalytic activity.

TL;DR: In this article, lead-free Sm-doped 0.95BaTiO3-0.05Bi(Mg 0.5Ti0.5)O3 (BT-BMT-xSm) relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were synthesized and confirmed to be an appropriate material for storage devices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss emerging non-traditional strain engineering approaches to create new ground states and manipulate novel functionalities in multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films, which can overcome the confines of traditional strain engineering introduced through the mismatch between the film and substrate.

TL;DR: In this article, an approach for imposing continuously tunable epitaxial strain in oxide heterostructures beyond substrate limitations by inserting an interface layer through tailoring of its gradual strain relaxation is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a core-shell structured CuO/ZnO nanorods (NRs) consisting of monocrystalline p-type CuO core covered with the nan-closest n-type ZnO shell were directly fabricated on Si substrate through depositing znO on the as-grown CuO NRs.
