  • First Online:
Advances in Lead-Free Piezoelectric Materials

Abstract

Bismuth ferrite materials including ceramics and thin films have attracted lots of attention due to their multi-functional properties. This chapter reviews the relationship between crystal structure and electrical properties of BFO-based ceramics through composition engineering. In addition, several crucial issues of BFO thin films are also pointed out, such as orientation, multilayer structure, buffer layer, thickness dependence, and so on. The detailed review of BFO-based materials gives a clear direction on the further researches about piezo/ferroelectric properties.
