“…And, what is more, the addition of external dopants may as well be helpful to improve the magnetoelectric properties of the synthesized product. Thus, it has been described in the literature that rare earth dopants like La 3+ [52,53], Gd 3+ [52,54], Nd 3+ [52], Sm 3+ [52,55], Y 3+ [56], or Ho 3+ [57] may have the desired effect of stabilizing the BiFeO 3 phase and decreasing the amount of secondary phases when replacing some Bi 3+ cations in the A positions of the perovskite structure. However, these dopants may diminish the electric polarizability of the A positions [52,58,59], so alternatively the use of transition ions like Mn 3+ [60] or Ti 4+ [61][62][63] for substituting the Fe 3+ cations in B positions, has been recently proposed.…”
