Abstract
This study employed the solid-state reaction process to synthesize an eco-friendly multifunctional material, Bi(Cd2/5Ti2/5Fe1/5)O3, with cadmium-titanium substitution. The structural, morphological, electrical, ferroelectric, magnetic, and leakage current studies were carried out by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), impedance analyzer, loop-tracer, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and electrometer to investigate the influence of Cd/Ti doping in BiFeO3 simultaneously. The XRD analysis confirmed the formation of orthorhombic phase symmetry with a minor existence of secondary phases. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and FE-SEM analysis were performed to evaluate the quantitative and micro-structural evaluation of the material. The complex impedance approach is also performed to recognize the grain and grain boundary influences with their electrical properties. Furthermore, multifunctional features such as electrical, ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic parameters clearly emphasize the suitable substitution of Cd and Ti, which could enhance properties and be considered promising materials for new electronic devices.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
