Abstract

Uniform bismuth ferrite BiFeO3 nanoparticles (below 60 nm) were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal route with the assistance of KOH as mineralizer and EDTA as the chelating agent. The effects of mineralizer and chelating agent on the phase formation, and morphology of these particles were investigated. Size dependent magnetic properties of as-prepared particles at room temperature were investigated.
