Ternary solid solutions of BiFeO3 , GdFeO3 and BaTiO3 have been prepared by solid-state reaction method. Dielectric properties of these ceramics have been characterized in the temperature range between room temperature and 673 K and magnetic properties between 5 K and 300 K. For the understanding of the multiferroic property, the relation between the crystal structures, magnetic transition and ferroelectric transitions with increasing temperature have been analyzed. All ceramic samples show single perovskite phase. When Ba content exceeds 0.2 wt%, the sintering ability is weakened and the phase structure of Bi 1-x-y Gd x Ba y Fe 1-y Ti y O 3 (with x = 0.2 and y = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) solid solution changes from rhombohedral to tetragonal phase. The maximum ferroelectric transition temperature (Te of this system was in the range 154–165°C with the dielectric constant peak of 6000 for y = 0.5 at 100 kHz. Well-saturated piezoresponse hysteresis loops were observed for all compositions indicating room temperature ferroelectricity. With increasing Ba content (up to 0.3 wt%) the remanent magnetization Mr increased and the coercive magnetic field decreased.

Synthesis and characterization of BiFeO3 samples, co-doped with rare earth Nd and Co in place of Bi and Fe respectively were investigated at room temperature (RT). The formula of the four samples are Co-doped BiFe1–xCoxO3 (x = 0.05-0.10) and Nd and Co co-substituted Bi0.95Nd0.05Fe0.95Co0.05O3 and Bi0.90Nd0.10Fe0.90Co0.10O3. These ceramic samples were synthesized by conventional solid state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction patterns clearly reveal that the secondary impurity phases were eliminated significantly due to the simultaneous substitution of Nd and Co in place of Bi and Fe respectively of BiFeO3 ceramics. The surface morphology of the synthesized samples was found to improve due to the simultaneous substitution of Nd and Co in place of Bi and Fe in BiFeO3. The average grain size of the first sample with 5% doping of Co in place of Fe was 1.5?m. In the second sample with 10% Co doping in place of Fe, the average grain size became 1.25 ?m. In presence of 5% Nd in place of Bi as well as with 5% doping of Co in place of Fe , grain size reduced to 0.75?m. The sample with 10% doping of Nd and Co in place of Bi and Fe respectively, average grain size decreased to 0.5?m. The EDX spectroscpoy ensured the presence of Bi, Nd, Fe, Co and O in these samples and their percentage of mass and atoms. Magnetic properties of the samples were also investigated at room temperature by measuring magnetization versus magnetic field (M-H) hysteresis loops. The wider loop clearly demonstrates the significant improvement of the magnetic behavior in 10% Nd and Co doped Bi0.90Nd0.10Fe0.90Co0.10O3 sample. The enhanced magnetic properties might be attributed to the substitution induced suppression of spiral spin structure of BiFeO3. The outcome of this investigation suggests the potentiality of the simultaneous doping of Nd and Co in BiFeO3 ceramics to improve their structural, morphological and magnetic characteristics.Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 41, No. 1, 85-93, 2017

In this work, Mn3PtN[Formula: see text] (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) compounds were prepared by solid state reaction method. The structure, magnetic properties and thermal expansion behaviors of Mn3PtN[Formula: see text] compounds with different nitrogen content were systematically investigated. Mn3PtN has typical antiperovskite cubic structure with space group Pm-3m (221). With decreasing nitrogen content, the crystal structure changes to hexagonal with space group P63/mmc when the value of x decreases to x = 0.25, and then back to cubic with Fm3m at x = 0. All of the obtained Mn3PtN[Formula: see text] compound exhibit the magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic (AFM) to paramagnetic (PM). Moreover, another transition from AFM1 to AFM2 at lower temperature was also observed in Mn3Pt. The experimental results indicate that the magnetic transition induced abnormal thermal expansion behavior in Mn3PtN[Formula: see text]. Especially, a typical giant thermal expansion behavior of about [Formula: see text]8‰ volume change arising from the magneto-volume effect at 411 K is observed in Mn3Pt compound. The obtained results imply that this kind of compounds is a strong lattice–spin correlation system.

We report the magnetic transition and large magnetic entropy change in Sr doped lanthanum manganites. Polycrystalline La1-xSrxMnO3(0.20x0.35) samples were prepared using the conventional solid-state reaction method. The results of X-ray diffraction indicates perovskite phase without any impurity. The magnetic study has revealed that the Curie temperature is influenced by Sr-concentration. The doping of Sr at La site affects the Mn-O bond length and Mn-O-Mn bond angle due to the difference in their ionic radii, consequently, the Curie temperature changed. A large magnetic entropy change has been observed for La0.8Sr0.2MnO3sample, the value of the maximum entropy change (SMmax) increases from 1.42 to 2.74 J/kgK as magnetic field increases from 1 to 2.5 T. This investigation suggests that La1-xSrxMnO3can be used as a potential magnetic refrigeration material.

The ferroelectric and magnetic properties of hot-pressed BiFeO3- (BFO) polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite films have been studied. The BiFeO3 (BFO) ceramics have been synthesized by a rapid liquid phase sintering technique. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies revealed that the impure phase observed in pure BFO ceramics was significantly reduced in the composite films. The presence of both ferroelectric and magnetic hysteresis loops confirms the multiferroic nature of the composite films at room temperature. A well-saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop with a remanent polarization (Pr)∼4.8 μC-cm-2 and coercive field (Ec)∼1.55 kV/cm has been observed in composite thin films at room temperature. The magnetic hysteresis loops were traced at room temperature with SQUID. The remanent magnetization (Mr)∼3.0×10−3 emu/gm and coercive field (Hc)∼0.99 kOe was observed in the composite film. The magnetic polarization of the composite films has found to be enhanced as compared to pure BFO and correlated to reduction in BFO impure peak intensity.

In the present work, thin films of Cr/NiO/Ni are deposited on glass substrates using RF magnetron sputteringtechnique. The uniformity and homogeneity of the prepared films were controlled by varying the power of the source, the target-substrate distance and the pressure of the plasma gas which is argon. In order to test the Preisach Model, we carried outmeasurements according to two directions: parallel and perpendicular to the substrate plane using a Vibrating SampleMagnetometer at room temperature. Good agreement has been obtained by comparing the experimental hysteresis loops to theones determined using Preisach model. We conclude that this model is powerful in predicting the magnetic properties ofmultilayer systems. # Cr/NiO/Ni #MAGNETRON_SPUTTERING #PREISACH MODEL #MAGNETIC_HYSTERESIS

The magnetic properties in Co-Ni-P nanowires arrays with diameter of 200 nm were investigated. All the samples were prepared by electrodeposition method with pH of 5.5 and at room temperature. During the deposition, a magnetic field in range of 0 - 750 Oe was applied parallel to the wires axis. The crystalline structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. The hysteresis loops were measured at room temperature using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The mixture of hcp phases of the Co-Ni-P based nanowires has been indicated by the XRD pattern. The obtained results show that with 750 Oe magnetic field applied during deposition we can obtain maximum coercivity value (2180 Oe). The \(M_{r}/M_{s}\) ratio was rapid increased when the magnetic field changed from 0 Oe to 750 Oe.

Magnetoelectric(ME) coupling at room temperature(RT) in four-layered perovskite Bi5Ti3FeO15(BTFO) ceramics prepared by conventional solid state reaction method was observed. Unsaturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop with 2Pr=0.464 μC/cm2 and 2Ec=25 kV/cm at an applied electric field 58 kV/cm was obtained because of lower breakdown voltage which maybe induced by lower relative density of the sample. A weak ferromagnetic (Mr=0.122 memu/g, Hc=69 Oe) rather than an antiferromagnetic property was observed at RT by magnetic measurement. Significantly, the ME coupling between the electric dipoles and magnetic dipoles at RT was demonstrated by measuring the effect of magnetic and DC electric poling on ferroelectric and magnetic hysteresis loops, respectively. Both Pr and Mr decreased after magnetic and DC electric poling. And the rate of Pr change decreased with increasing measuring electric field.

The study was conducted to find out the effect of particle sizes of BaTiO3 (BT) seed on the microstructure and electrical properties of (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 (BCZT) ceramics. The BT seeds were prepared by the molten salt method. Results indicated that the BT seed powder showed a single pure perovskite phase when using a low temperature of ~750°C. The particle sizes of BT seeds increased from ~381 to ~600 nm with increasing heating temperatures from 750 to 900°C. After that, the different BT seeds were mixed with BaCO3, CaCo3, ZrO2 and TiO3 via the solid state reaction method. The mixed powder was calcined and sintered at 1200 °C for 2 h and 1450 °C for 4 h, respectively. The microstructure, phase formation and electrical properties were investigated. All ceramic samples showed a pure perovskite phase. The density and average grain size values of ceramics were in the range of 5.36-5.47 g/cm3 and 9.83-11.86 μm, respectively. The highest values of dielectric constant (εr), piezoelectric constant (d33) were 3393 and 452 pC/N, respectively which obtained at the sample of BT-seed size 372 nm doped.

In this paper, we investigated the influence of rare earth ([Formula: see text] and Gd) doped Ba[Formula: see text]RE[Formula: see text]Ca[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text] Mn[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text]Zr[Formula: see text]O3 (BCTMNZ) ceramics were fabricated by using a conventional solid-state reaction method. The doping effects of La and Gd on the structural and magnetic properties were studied. The structural pattern of the ceramic samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction and the results indicated that both samples shows an orthorhombic structure with pure phase. Strain and crystalline size values for Gd and La doped were 0.31–0.33% and [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]m, respectively. The room temperature hysteresis loops were obtained by using a vibrating sample magnetometer. La doped ceramic showed the higher value of magnetization i.e., [Formula: see text]B/f.u. as compared to Gd doped BLTMNZ ceramics.
