Effect of La on the structure and characteristics of multiferroic BiFeO3

Multiferroic materials refer to a class of materials which possess the intrinsic coupling of two or more ferroic orders (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, and ferromagnetic). Among them, magnetoelectric materials exhibiting both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic characteristics have received much attention due to their great potential in multifunctional applications such as spintronics, memory, and sensors.
