Abstract

Abstract: The control on magnetization via applied electric field is the centre of attention in multiferroic materials for the achievement of technological device applications. The bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3 ) is best multiferroic material which has the ferroelectric as well as weak magnetic nature simultaneously in the single phase near the room temperature. There are many unsolved problems in the path of the actual device applications of multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) due to the transformation of several scientific progresses into technical innovations. So, there is a need to solve these complications via focused research movements, which may convert this useful material into actual device applications. This review article is mainly concentrated on look over the recent advances on technological achievements and challenges in BFO via the magnetoelectric coupling and presents the latest devices achievements.
