High-pressure structural properties of perovskite-type BiMnO(3) have been investigated by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction at room temperature. A new monoclinic phase having P2(1)/c symmetry was found between about 1.5 and 5.5 GPa. Above 8 GPa, the orthorhombic GdFeO(3)-type phase (space group Pnma) is stable. The crystal structure of BiMnO(3) at 8.6 GPa and room temperature was investigated (a = 5.5132(3) A, b = 7.5752(3) A, c = 5.4535(3) A). The orthorhombic phase of BiMnO(3) has an orbital order similar to LaMnO(3) but with a different arrangement of orbitals in the ac plane. High-pressure room-temperature behavior of BiMnO(3) differs from high-temperature behavior at ambient pressure in comparison with BiCrO(3) and BiScO(3). These findings may open new directions in investigation of BiMnO(3).

Multiferroic materials with flexibility are expected to make great contributions to flexible electronic applications, such as sensors, memories, and wearable devices. In this work, super-flexible freestanding BiMnO membranes with simultaneous ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism are synthesized using water-soluble Sr Al O as the sacrificial buffer layer. The super-flexibility of BiMnO membranes is demonstrated by undergoing an ≈180° folding during an in situ bending test, which is consistent with the results of first-principles calculations.

Multiferroic materials with multifunctional characteristics play a critical role in the field of microelectronics. In a perovskite oxide, ferroelectric polarization and ferromagnetism usually cannot coexist in a single-phase material at the same time. In this work, we design a superlattice structure composed of alternating BiFeO and BiMnO layers and illustrate how tuning the supercell size of epitaxial BiFeO/BiMnO superlattices facilitates ferroelectric polarization while maintaining relatively strong ferromagnetism.

BiMnO is a promising multiferroic material but it's ferromagnetic T is well below room temperature and the magnetic phase diagram is unknown. In this work, the relationship between magnetic transition temperature (T) and the substrate induced (pseudo-) tetragonal distortion (ratio of out-of-plane to in-plane lattice parameters, c/a) in BiMnO thin films, lightly doped to optimize lattice dimensions, was determined. For c/a > 0.

A multiferroic BiMnO3 nanowire array was prepared using a hydrothermal process and its resistive switching memory behaviors were further investigated. The prominent ferroelectricity can be well controlled by white-light illumination, thus offering an excellent light-controlled resistive switching memory device using a Ag/BiMnO3/Ti structure at room temperature.
