Abstract
2D metal oxides have aroused increasing attention in the field of electronics and optoelectronics due to their intriguing physical properties. In this review, an overview of recent advances on synthesis of 2D metal oxides and their electronic applications is presented. First, the tunable physical properties of 2D metal oxides that relate to the structure (various oxidation-state forms, polymorphism, etc.), crystallinity and defects (anisotropy, point defects, and grain boundary), and thickness (quantum confinement effect, interfacial effect, etc.) are discussed. Then, advanced synthesis methods for 2D metal oxides besides mechanical exfoliation are introduced and classified into solution process, vapor-phase deposition, and native oxidation on a metal source. Later, the various roles of 2D metal oxides in widespread applications, i.e., transistors, inverters, photodetectors, piezotronics, memristors, and potential applications (solar cell, spintronics, and superconducting devices) are discussed. Finally, an outlook of existing challenges and future opportunities in 2D metal oxides is proposed.

Abstract
The library of two-dimensional (2D) materials has been enriched over recent years with novel crystal architectures endowed with diverse exciting functionalities. Bulk perovskites, including metal-halide and oxide systems, provide access to a myriad of properties through molecular engineering. Their tunable electronic structure offers remarkable features from long carrier-diffusion lengths and high absorption coefficients in metal-halide perovskites to high-temperature superconductivity, magnetoresistance and ferroelectricity in oxide perovskites. Emboldened by the 2D materials research, perovskites down to the monolayer limit have recently emerged. Like other 2D species, perovskites with reduced dimensionality are expected to exhibit new physics and to herald next-generation multifunctional devices. In this Review, we critically assess the preliminary studies on the synthetic routes and inherent properties of monolayer perovskite materials. We also discuss how to exploit them for widespread applications and provide an outlook on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for this enticing class of 2D materials.

Abstract
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3 ) is one of the most widely studied multiferroics. The coexistence of ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism in this compound has driven an intense search for electric-field control of the magnetic order. Such efforts require a complete understanding of the various exchange interactions that underpin the magnetic behavior. An important characteristic of BiFeO3 is its noncollinear magnetic order; namely, a long-period incommensurate spin cycloid. Here, the progress in understanding this fascinating aspect of BiFeO3 is reviewed, with a focus on epitaxial films. The advances made in developing the theory used to capture the complexities of the cycloid are first chronicled, followed by a description of the various experimental techniques employed to probe the magnetic order. To help the reader fully grasp the nuances associated with thin films, a detailed description of the spin cycloid in the bulk is provided. The effects of various perturbations on the cycloid are then described: magnetic and electric fields, doping, epitaxial strain, finite size effects, and temperature. To conclude, an outlook on possible device applications exploiting noncollinear magnetism in BiFeO3 films is presented. It is hoped that this work will act as a comprehensive experimentalist's guide to the spin cycloid in BiFeO3 thin films.

Abstract
As a prototype single-phase multiferroic, BiFeO3 exhibits excellent electrical, magnetic, and magnetoelectric properties, appealing to many modern technological applications. One of its overlooked merits is a high piezoelectric performance originating from its large remnant polarization (Pr) and low dielectric constant (εr). Furthermore, its high Curie temperature and large coercive field ensure good stabilities in device applications. However, to achieve close-to-intrinsic properties, a high processing temperature is usually used for the preparation of highly crystalline (epitaxial or highly oriented) BiFeO3 films. Proliferation of defects due to loss of volatile Bi2O3 in the high-temperature process and its incompatibility with CMOS-Si technologies have hindered the development of BiFeO3 film-based piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems (piezo-MEMS) devices. In this work, we successfully sputter-deposited highly (100) oriented BiFeO3 thick films (∼1 μm) on Si at 350 °C through the use of a conductive perovskite buffer layer of LaNiO3. Formation of bulk and interfacial defects is suppressed by the combination of a low deposition temperature and an oxygen-rich processing atmosphere, resulting in chemically stoichiometric BiFeO3 films. These films displayed a high Pr (∼60 μC·cm-2), a low εr (∼200), and a small dielectric loss (<0.02), as well as large coercive and self-bias voltages in their as-grown and aged states. Together with a large transverse piezoelectric coefficient (e31,f ∼ -2.8 C·m-2), excellent electromechanical performances with outstanding fatigue and aging resistances are demonstrated in patterned BiFeO3-Si cantilever devices. These integration-friendly BiFeO3 films are ideal replacements of PZT films in piezo-MEMS applications.

Abstract
Piezoelectric materials have been analyzed for over 100 years, due to their ability to convert mechanical vibrations into electric charge or electric fields into a mechanical strain for sensor, energy harvesting, and actuator applications. A more recent development is the coupling of piezoelectricity and electro-chemistry, termed piezo-electro-chemistry, whereby the piezoelectrically induced electric charge or voltage under a mechanical stress can influence electro-chemical reactions. There is growing interest in such coupled systems, with a corresponding growth in the number of associated publications and patents. This review focuses on recent development of the piezo-electro-chemical coupling multiple systems based on various piezoelectric materials. It provides an overview of the basic characteristics of piezoelectric materials and comparison of operating conditions and their overall electro-chemical performance. The reported piezo-electro-chemical mechanisms are examined in detail. Comparisons are made between the ranges of material morphologies employed, and typical operating conditions are discussed. In addition, potential future directions and applications for the development of piezo-electro-chemical hybrid systems are described. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent studies on how piezoelectric materials and devices have been applied to control electro-chemical processes, with an aim to inspire and direct future efforts in this emerging research field.

Abstract
The coupling strain in nanoscale systems can achieve control of the physical properties in functional materials, such as ferromagnets, ferroelectrics, and superconductors. Here, we directly demonstrate the atomic-scale structure of super-tetragonal PbTiO3 nanocomposite epitaxial thin films, including the extraordinary coupling of strain transition and the existence of the oxygen vacancies. Large strain gradients, both longitudinal and transverse (∼3 × 107 m-1), have been observed. The original non-magnetic ferroelectric composites notably evoke ferromagnetic properties, derived from the combination of Ti3+ and oxygen vacancies. The saturation ferromagnetic moment can be controlled by the strain of both the interphase and substrate, optimized to a high value of ∼55 emu/cc in 10-nm thick nanocomposite epitaxial thin films on the LaAlO3 substrate. Strain engineering provides a route to explore multiferroic systems in conventional non-magnetic ferroelectric oxides and to create functional data storage devices from both ferroelectrics and ferromagnetics.

In the first part, the optical, electric, magnetic, and valley properties and their interactions in BiFeO3-based heterostructures are briefly reviewed. In the second part, the morphologies of BiFeO3 and medium materials in the heterostructures are discussed. Particularly, in the third part, the physical properties and underlying mechanism in BiFeO3-based heterostructures are discussed thoroughly, such as the photovoltaic effect, electric field control of magnetism, resistance switching, and two-dimensional electron gas and valley characteristics. The fourth part illustrates the applications of BiFeO3-based heterostructures based on the materials and physical properties discussed in the second and third parts. This review also includes a future prospect, which can provide guidance for exploring novel physical properties and designing multifunctional devices.

Abstract
By first-principles calculations we investigate the electronic structure of tetragonal BiCoO3/BiFeO3 bilayers with different terminations. The multiferroic insulator BiCoO3 and BiFeO3 transform into metal in all of three models. Particularly, energetically favored model CoO2-BiO exhibits ferroelectric metallic properties, and external electric field enhances the ferroelectric displacements significantly. The metallic character is mainly associated to eg electrons, while t2g electrons are responsible for ferroelectric properties. Moreover, the strong hybridization between eg and O p electrons around Fermi level provides conditions to the coexistence of ferroelectric and metallic properties. These special behaviors of electrons are influenced by the interfacial electronic reconstruction with formed Bi-O electrovalent bond, which breaks OA-Fe/Co-OB coupling partially. Besides, the external electric field reverses spin polarization of Fe/Co ions efficiently, even reaching 100%.

Abstract
Phase-pure BiFeO3 films were grown directly via dual-source low-pressure CVD (LPCVD) from the ligand-matched precursors [Bi(O(t)Bu)3] and [Fe(O(t)Bu)3]2, without the requirement for oxidising gas or post deposition annealing. Photocatalytic testing for water oxidation revealed extremely high activity for PEC water splitting and photocatalytic water oxidation under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) with a benchmark IPCE for BiFeO3 of 23% at 400 nm. The high activity is ascribed to the ultrafine morphology achieved via the LPCVD process. The performance was enhanced by over four times when the BiFeO3 photoanode is coupled to a Ni-B surface OEC.

Abstract
Given the paucity of single phase multiferroic materials (with large ferromagnetic
moment), composite systems seem an attractive solution to realize magnetoelectric
coupling between ferromagnetic and ferroelectric order parameters. Despite
having antiferromagnetic order, BiFeO3 (BFO) has nevertheless been
a key material due to excellent ferroelectric properties at room temperature.
We studied a superlattice composed of 8 repetitions of 6 unit cells of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3
(LSMO) grown on 5 unit cells of BFO. Significant net uncompensated magnetization
in BFO, an insulating superlattice, is demonstrated using polarized neutron
reflectometry. Remarkably, the magnetization enables magnetic field to change
the dielectric properties of the superlattice, which we cite as an example
of synthetic magnetoelectric coupling. Importantly, controlled creation of
magnetic moment in BFO is a much needed path toward design and implementation
of integrated oxide devices for next generation magnetoelectric data storage
platforms.

Abstract
Multiferroic materials have attracted much interest due to the unusual coexistence of ferroelectric and (anti-)ferromagnetic ground states in a single compound. They offer an exciting platform for new physics and potentially novel devices. BiFeO3 is one of the most celebrated multiferroic materials and has highly desirable properties. It is the only known room-temperature multiferroic with TC ≈ 1100 K and TN ≈ 650 K, and exhibits one of the largest spontaneous electric polarisations, P ≈ 80 µC cm(-2). At the same time, it has a magnetic cycloid structure with an extremely long period of 620 Å, which arises from competition between the usual symmetric exchange interaction and the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. There is also an intriguing interplay between the DM interaction and single ion anisotropy K. In this review, we have attempted to paint a complete picture of bulk BiFeO3 by summarising the structural and dynamic properties of both the spin and lattice parts and their magneto-electric coupling.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) exhibit many emergent phenomena ranging from high-temperature superconductivity and giant magnetoresistance to magnetism and ferroelectricity. In addition, when TMOs are interfaced with each other, new functionalities can arise, which are absent in individual components. Here, we report results from first-principles calculations on the magnetism at the BiFeO3/YBa2Cu3O7 interfaces. By comparing the total energy for various magnetic spin configurations inside BiFeO3, we are able to show that a metallic ferromagnetism is induced near the interface. We further develop an interface exchange-coupling model and place the extracted exchange coupling interaction strengths, from the first-principles calculations, into a resultant generic phase diagram. Our conclusion of interfacial ferromagnetism is confirmed by the presence of a hysteresis loop in field-dependent magnetization data. The emergence of interfacial ferromagnetism should have implications to electronic and transport properties.

Abstract
Synthesis of high-purity BiFeO3 is very important for practical applications. This task has been very challenging for the scientific community because nonstoichiometric Bi(x)Fe(y)O(z) species typically appear as byproducts in most of the synthesis routes. In the present work, we outline the synthesis of BiFeO3 nanostructures by a combustion reaction, employing tartaric acid or glycine as promoter. When glycine is used, a porous BiFeO3 network composed of tightly assembled and sintered nanocrystallites is obtained. The origin of high purity BiFeO3 nanomaterial as well as the formation of other byproducts is explained on the basis of metal-ligand interactions. Structural, morphological, and optical analysis of the intermediate that preceded the formation of porous BiFeO3 structures was accomplished. The thorough characterization of BiFeO3 nanoparticles (NPs) included powder X-ray diffraction (XRD); scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM); thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); UV-vis electronic absorption (diffuse reflectance mode), Raman scattering, Mössbauer, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies; and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The byproducts like β-Bi2O3 and 5 nm Bi2Fe4O9 NPs were obtained when tartaric acid was the promoter. However, no such byproducts were formed using glycine in the synthesis process. The average sizes of the crystallites for BiFeO3 were 26 and 23 nm, for tartaric acid and glycine promoters, respectively. Two band gap energies, 2.27 and 1.66 eV, were found for BiFeO3 synthesized with tartaric acid, obtained from Tauc's plots. A remarkable selective enhancement in the intensity of the BiFeO3 A1 mode, as a consequence of the resonance Raman effect, was observed and discussed for the first time in this work. For glycine-promoted BiFeO3 nanostructures, the measured magnetization (M) value at 20,000 Oe (0.64 emu g(-1)) was ∼5 times lower than that obtained using tartaric acid. The difference between the M values has been associated with the different morphologies of the BiFeO3 nanostructures.

Abstract
We review the recent developments in the electric field control of magnetism in multiferroic heterostructures, which consist of heterogeneous materials systems where a magnetoelectric coupling is engineered between magnetic and ferroelectric components. The magnetoelectric coupling in these composite systems is interfacial in origin, and can arise from elastic strain, charge, and exchange bias interactions, with different characteristic responses and functionalities. Moreover, charge transport phenomena in multiferroic heterostructures, where both magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters are used to control charge transport, suggest new possibilities to control the conduction paths of the electron spin, with potential for device applications.

Abstract
We present a first-principles scheme for computing the magnetoelectric response of multiferroics. We apply our method to BiFeO3 (BFO) and related compounds in which Fe is substituted by other magnetic species. We show that under certain relevant conditions--i.e., in the absence of incommensurate spin modulation, as in BFO thin films and some BFO-based solid solutions--these materials display a large linear magnetoelectric response. Our calculations reveal the atomistic origin of the coupling and allow us to identify the most promising strategies to enhance it.

Abstract
The influence of the surface, film thickness, temperature and ion doping effects on the magnetic and electric properties in multiferroic thin films is studied by a combination of modified Heisenberg and transverse Ising models using a Green's function technique. It is demonstrated that the magnetization M, the polarization P, the critical temperatures T(N) and T(C), the spin-wave energies E(m) and E(e), and their damping are very sensitive to the exchange interaction constants on the surface (A(1s) and J(s)) and in the defect layers (A(1d) and J(d)). It has been found that the damping is enhanced compared to the case with no defect layers. We have obtained that M, P, T(N), T(C) and the spin-wave energies could be increased or decreased by using different kinds of doping ions. The concurrent interaction mechanisms of the magnetic and electric subsystems are shown. The results are in qualitative accordance with the experimental data.

Abstract
As-prepared, single-crystalline bismuth ferrite nanoparticles show strong size-dependent magnetic properties that correlate with: (a) increased suppression of the known spiral spin structure (period length of approximately 62 nm) with decreasing nanoparticle size and (b) uncompensated spins and strain anisotropies at the surface. Zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization curves exhibit spin-glass freezing behavior due to a complex interplay between finite size effects, interparticle interactions, and a random distribution of anisotropy axes in our nanoparticle assemblies.

Abstract
A ferroelectric crystal exhibits a stable and switchable electrical polarization that is manifested in the form of cooperative atomic displacements. A ferromagnetic crystal exhibits a stable and switchable magnetization that arises through the quantum mechanical phenomenon of exchange. There are very few 'multiferroic' materials that exhibit both of these properties, but the 'magnetoelectric' coupling of magnetic and electrical properties is a more general and widespread phenomenon. Although work in this area can be traced back to pioneering research in the 1950s and 1960s, there has been a recent resurgence of interest driven by long-term technological aspirations.
