In this study, a certain amount of Cerium and Arsenic were closed in the barrel-shaped cylinder machined by H08 steel, heated to 1173 K for 50 h, and the interaction among the cerium, arsenic and iron in the barrel-shaped cylinder was studied by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and electronic probe microscopy analysis. The result shows that the gray phase is the ternary compound Ce12Fe57.5As41, and the ternary compound Ce12Fe57.5As41 is the main interaction product when the atomic ratio of Ce to As is 1:3. The eutectic compound Fe2As can be precipitated from ferrite with the temperature decreasing.

Ferroelectric nanowires have attracted great attention due to their excellent physical properties. We report the domain structure, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and conductive properties of bismuth ferrite (BFO, short for BiFeO3) nanowires characterized by scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern presents single phase BFO without other obvious impurities. The piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) results indicate that the nanowires possess a multidomain configuration, and the maximum piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of single BFO nanowire is 22.21 pm/V. Poling experiments and local switching spectroscopy piezoresponse force microscopy (SS-PFM) demonstrate that there is sufficient polarization switching behavior and obvious piezoelectric properties in BFO nanowires. The conducting atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) results show that the current is just hundreds of pA at 8 V. These lay the foundation for the application of BFO nanowires in nanodevices.
