Nonmonotonic particle-size-dependence of magnetoelectric coupling in strained nanosized particles of BiFeO3

Abstract Using high resolution powder x-ray and neutron diffraction experiments, we determined the off-centered displacement of the ions within a unit cell and magnetoelectric coupling in nanoscale BiFeO3 (≈20–200 nm). We found that both the off-centered displacement of the ions and magnetoelectric...
