South Korean researchers are working on bendable devices by manufacturing a thin film which keeps its useful electric and magnetic properties even when they are highly curved. They are inventing to increase potential with wearable devices.
Same approach was taken with bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3), materials whose electronic properties can be controlled by a magnetic field and vice versa. Such materials basically known as multiferroics which attracts interests for applications like energy-efficient, instant-on computing.
Electric and Magnetic properties of the film was tested by researchers, they found that the material is able to do more than preserving the useful properties of bulk bismuth ferrite. The improved properties remained the same even when the film is curved in to a cylindrical shape.
YoungPak Lee, professor at the Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea said "Bulk bismuth ferrite has crucial problems for some applications like a high leakage current which hinders the strong electric properties".
Health Monitoring Equipment or Virtual Reality Attire, wearable devices can be enable by flexible multiferrorics. These materials could be used in high density, energy efficient memory and switches in such devices.
