Multifunctional and Photocatalytic Properties of DyFeO₃/Dy₃Fe₅O₁₂ Biphasic Nanoparticles
Abstract: Rare-earth orthoferrites constitute a class of compounds that exhibit remarkable magnetic, optical, and electronic properties across a wide temperature range. In the present study, a dysprosium-based orthoferrite containing dual phases of DyFeO₃ perovskite and Dy₃Fe₅O₁₂ garnet was successfully synthesized via the co-precipitation technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was employed to investigate the structural configuration of the synthesized material. The diffraction pattern confirmed the formation of a biphasic composite comprising orthorhombic …

AR Coatings in Solar Efficiency: A Study
Abstract: In the global race toward renewable energy dominance, the focus often fixes upon the exotic materials within the photovoltaic cell: silicon type, junction structure, or emergent perovskites. Yet, the most immediate and profound efficiency gains are often secured by a layer so thin it is invisible, a film of optimized material applied directly to the glass interface: the Anti-Reflective (AR) coating. These coatings are not merely an expensive aesthetic choice; …

Comparative Study of Structural, Optical, Morphological, and Magnetic Properties of BifeO3 Nanoparticles Synthesized Via Green and Chemical Methods
Abstract: BiFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a green route using Strychnos nux-vomica leaf extract and a conventional chemical sol–gel method to study the effect of synthesis routes on their properties. XRD analysis confirmed phase-pure rhombohedral BiFeO3 for both samples. FTIR analysis was carried out to confirm the formation of the perovskite structure and to detect surface functional groups. FESEM analysis indicated a significant effect of phytochemicals in controlling particle growth and …

Comparative Study of Structural and Optical Properties of Bismuth Ferrite Nanoparticles for Photovoltaic Applications Synthesized via Different Sol-Gel Methods
Abstract: Pure multiferroic bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using an energy-efficient, low-temperature sol-gel method, comparing two distinct approaches: auto-combustion and non-auto-combustion. To ensure phase stability, the precursor solution's pH was strictly maintained between 1 and 2 using ammonia solution (NH4OH), while ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) was employed as a chelating agent for the Fe3+ and Bi3+ cations. All samples underwent a final annealing process at 500 °C to promote crystallization. …
