Flash sintering of highly insulating nanostructured phase‐pure BiFeO3

Abstract

We show that BiFeO3, that is electrically homogeneous, is a good insulator, and has a low dielectric constant (the properties desired in its applications), can be produced by flash sintering, which is nominally difficult to achieve by conventional and spark plasma sintering processes. The flash‐sintered specimens had a uniform microstructure with a nanometric grain size of ~20 nm.
