Evolution of the crystal structure and magnetic properties of Sm-doped BiFeO3 ceramics across the phase boundary region

Hydrothermal synthesis of Ce/Zr co-substituted BiFeO3: R3c-to-P4mm phase transition and enhanced room temperature ferromagnetism

“…Despite this, inherent problems of the bulk BFO such as formation of secondary phases, high leakage current, low magnetoelectric (ME) coupling, zero macroscopic remnant magnetization (Mr) have been restricted its multifunctional applications at room temperature [4][5][6][7]. In recent years, attempts have been made to enhance reduce dielectric loss, ferroelectric properties, and leakage current, increase remnant polarization, modify its inhomogeneous-spatial spin-modulated (incommensurate) structure, and intensify magnetoelectric interaction [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, the comparative studies were undertaken in order to understand of the effect of co-substitution at A-and B-site on ferroelectric and magnetic properties, respectively.…”

“…However, the comparative studies were undertaken in order to understand of the effect of co-substitution at A-and B-site on ferroelectric and magnetic properties, respectively. Recent studies revealed that a strategy of co-doping of the Bi-site, and Fe-site can significantly improve the magnetic and ferroelectric properties of BFO nanoparticles, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. We recently reported that the A-site (Nd, Y, Gd) and B-site (Mn, Zr) co-substitution of BFO have a result to reduce the particle size to less than 62 nm which will destruct or suppress the magnetic spiral structure [6][7].…”

Phase Structure and Electrical Properties of Sm-Doped BiFe0.98Mn0.02O3 Thin Films

“…There are many ways to improve the properties of BiFeO 3 materials, including element doping, solid solution, formation of a heterostructure, and control of film orientation [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Among them, many researchers adopt the element doping method to improve the performance of BiFeO 3 materials [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Yun et al prepared single-phase multiferroic BiFeO 3 and Ho-doped BiFeO 3 films [ 23 ].…”
