  Remarkably high values of polarization as well as a significant magnetic
susceptibility have been observed in multiferroic Bismuth Ferrite (BFO) in the
form of nanorods protruding out. These were developed on porous Anodised
Alumina (AAO) templates using wet chemical technique. Diameters of nanorods are
in the range of 20-100 nm. The high values of polarization and magnetic
susceptibility are attributed to the BFO nanorod structures giving rise to the
directionality. There is no leakage current in P-E loop examined at various
frequencies. Magnetocapacitance measurements reflect a significant enhancement
in magnetoelectric coupling also.
