With the progress of science and technology, the growing demands for practical applications make low dimensional multiferroics more appealing in areas such as chemical and bio-sensors, nanoelectronic, high-density data storage devices. One-dimensional BiFeO3 nanotubes were successfully synthesized by sol-gel-based electrospinning process. The images of scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy collectively demonstrate that BiFeO3 nanotubes with long slender structure and virtually uniform diameter of approximately 100 nm were observed at 500 C annealing temperature. By compared with BiFeO3 bulks observed at 800 C annealing temperature, enhanced room temperature ferromagnetism was successfully realized in BiFeO3 nanotubes at room temperature. The results of electron spin resonance measurement further confirm that ferromagnetic resonances were detected in BiFeO3 nanotubes at different temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study proves the existence of plentiful oxygen vacancies in BiFeO3 nanotubes, which will play a key role in terms of enhanced ferromagnetism. The results will contribute to expand the applications of BiFeO3 into the new field of spintronic devices and high-density data storage media. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
