Abstract
This chapter provides an updated overview of rare-earth-based multiferroic
perovskites and their diverse range of applications. Multiferroic materials exhibit
simultaneous ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, making them highly attractive
for various technological applications. The design of functional materials is challenging
to tune the properties and applications. Rare earth-based perovskites, in particular, offer
unique properties due to the combination of rare earth elements and the perovskite
crystal structure. This chapter explores the synthesis methods, characterization
techniques, and emerging applications of rare earth-based multiferroic perovskites,
highlighting recent advancements in the field.
Keywords: CVD, Ferroelectricity, Ferromagnetism, Ferrotoroidicity, Perovskites, Photocatalysis, UCNP.
