Total scattering from multiferroic bismuth ferrite

DOI

Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and magnetic features continue to emerge. Equally surprisingly, and given that locally competing magnetic and structural distortions give rise to its rich phase behaviour, to date there has not been a detailed neutron total scattering study of BiFeO3. We believe that we are ideally placed to carry out such a study, building on our expertise with total scattering and RMC modelling of distorted crystal systems and magnetism and our knowledge of BiFeO3 itself. In particular we aim to investigate to what extent the local atomic and magnetic arrangements may deviate from their average structures and the implications of this for the material's properties.
