Preparation of BiFe1-xCoxO3 Ceramics via a Simple Solid Method and Enhanced Multiferroic Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

BiFe 1-x CoxO3(x= 0-0.3) polycrystalline samples were prepared in order to study the effect of Co substitution on BiFeO3 structural, magnetic and electric properties, which to the best of our knowledge, the related work has not been reported. The samples were synthesized by a simple solid-state method, which the process contains mortar grind, calcinate, press and sinter. The crystal structures were refined from XRD data in the acentric R3c space group; a second phase CoFe2O4 was identified, in increasing amounts with the increase of x. The magnetic moment is greatly improved and the magnetization for BiFe 0.96 Co 0.04 O3 was found to be 0.756 emu/g.
