Abstract

Multiferroic Bi₂NiMnO₆ nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple electrospray method. Bi₂NiMnO₆ nanoparticles crystallize in the monoclinic structure with space group C121. The particles show a uniform spherical shape with a diameter of 100 nm to 300 nm. The ferromagnetic transition of Bi₂NiMnO₆ is confirmed at 122 K. The room temperature ferroelectricity of the Bi₂NiMnO₆ nanoparticles is verified by Kelvin probe force microscopy.
