Multiferroic properties of Mn-substituted BiFeO3

Charge Compensation Mechanism and Multifunctional Properties of Bi1−xBaxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1) Ceramics

“…ABO 3 type perovskite BFO has been modified by numerous type of element doping by researchers all over the world. 7 In this regard, A site and/or B site doping with Ca 2+ , 8 Ti 4+ , 9 Ba 2+ , 10 (Ba 2+ La 3+ )-Ti 4+ , 11 Ba 2+ -Zr 4+ , 5 Ba 2+ -Nb 5+ , 12 Li + -Nb 5+ , 6 Tb 3+ , 13 La 3+ , 14 Mn 4+ , 15 Ni 2+ , 16 Sm 3+ , 17 Gd 3+ , 18 Eu 3+ , 19 Gd 3+ -Ti 4+ , 20 Nd 3+ , 17 etc. have been extensively studied and different physical and functional parameters have been characterized by several researchers previously.…”

“…As mentioned earlier, the Fe 3+ site engineering with higher valence dopants has been previously studied explicitly for understanding of charge compensation mechanism and improvement of electrical properties. 15 Therefore, here in the present work, we aim to study the Bi 3+ site engineering with lower valence ions for the evaluation of charge compensation mechanism which has not been much explored previously by other researchers. Moreover, the Bi 3+ site engineering is also expected to modify the magnetic properties of BFO.…”
