Among the candidates for multiferroic thin film materials the Bi-based magnetic transition metal perovskites, especially BiFeO3, are on great interest. Our goal is to explore the optical properties of multiferoica in the range of optical transitions as well as in the frequency range of lattice vibrations. The complex dielectric function of BiFeO3 and BiCrO3 thin films grown on different substrates (SrTiO3, NdGaO3, DyScO3. LaAlO3, LSAT) was determined by evaluation of ellipsometric spectra measured in the energy range of 0.73-9.8 eV by combining Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (VASE) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) ellipsometry with synchrotron radiation. By analyzing the absorption onset region, the optical bandgap of BiCrO3 and of BiFeO3 films on different substrates was determined. Raman spectroscopy was performed on both polycrystalline and epitaxial thin films of BiCrO3 in order to get an insight in the phonon spectra and the related structural properties. The temperature dependent Raman measurements indicate a structural phase transition at ~ 400 K which was also confirmed by X-ray diffraction investigations. The epitaxial relation between film and substrate orientation and the symmetry of the films will be discussed based on polarisation dependent Raman measurements.

UKRI Deadlines

Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.

The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:

EPSRC New Investigator Award

EPSRC Network Grant

EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship

EPSRC Open Fellowship

EPSRC Open Plus Fellowship

EPSRC Working with overseas scientists

EPSRC Standard research grant

EPSRC Discipline hopping in ICT

EPSRC Overseas travel grant
