Abstract
The impact of partial substitution of erbium and transition metal (zirconium/yttrium/niobium) at bismuth and iron site on multiferroism and magnetoelectric coupling of BFO was studied. Three samples Bi0.95Er0.05Fe0.98X0.02O3 (where X = Nb/Zr/Y) were prepared by sol–gel method. The structural, morphological, and elemental aspects of the samples were scrutinized. The ferroelectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric properties of the samples were recorded. The combined effect of erbium and zirconium offered better saturated ferroelectric loop with greater remnant polarization value (0.74 µC/cm2). On including erbium and zirconium inside bismuth ferrite, the magnetization of BFO got improved very much with remanence value (0.095 emu/g). The combination of erbium and zirconium has intensified the magneto electric behavior in the bismuth ferrite. Interestingly, zirconium inclusion inside the BFO system instead of niobium and yttrium has provoked all the multifunctional aspects uniformly.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism serves as the international forum for the most current research and ideas in these fields. This highly acclaimed journal publishes peer-reviewed original papers, conference proceedings and invited review articles that examine all aspects of the science and technology of superconductivity, including new materials, new mechanisms, basic and technological properties, new phenomena, and small- and large-scale applications. Novel magnetism, which is expanding rapidly, is also featured in the journal. The journal focuses on such areas as spintronics, magnetic semiconductors, properties of magnetic multilayers, magnetoresistive materials and structures, magnetic oxides, etc. Novel superconducting and magnetic materials are complex compounds, and the journal publishes articles related to all aspects their study, such as sample preparation, spectroscopy and transport properties as well as various applications.
