As the demand for higher device-density pushes the existing processing
techniques to their limits, ordered nanostructures become more welcome for the
futuristic multifunctional devices coupling these interesting properties at a
nanometer level.
BiFeO3 –BaTiO3 thin films with a thickness range form 50 –100 nm were
deposited on these porous templates layers by pulsed laser deposition
technique.

CONCLUSION
Continous monolayer of polystyrene template layer have been optimised
successfully.
Nano patterns of different metal have been tried and successfully formed
the patterns of nanodots of platinum of 30 nm size using the PS- 100nm
template layer.
BFO-BT ( BiFeO3 – BaTiO3) nano patterns with the dot size of 120 nm
was obtained using PS-460nm template.
BFO-BT ( BiFeO3 – BaTiO3) nano patterns were formed in SiO2/ Si and
Strontium Titanate (STO) substrates.
Fabrication of nano structures with BiFeO3 –BaTiO3 was found to
depend on the thickness of the film and the choice of the substrates.
