The first-principle calculations for various types of surface defects exhibited the existence of magnetic moments for selected chemical and position defects. Specifically, Na and Bi vacancies induced large magnetic moments of 0.52 µB/f.u and 0.50 µB/f.u, respectively, which were larger than that of Ti vacancies of 0.01 µB/f.u. Interestingly, oxygen vacancies did not induce local magnetic moments. Furthermore, significant magnetic moments of 0.50 µB/f.u and 0.49 µB/f.u were obtained for Na and Bi interstitial defects, while the local magnetic moments were slightly achieved around 0.03 µB/f.u and 0.04 µB/f.u for Ti and O interstitial defects, respectively. Anti-site defects between Bi and Na at A-site in perovskite ABO3 structure exhibited magnetic moments of 0.55 µB/f.u for Na anti-site at Bi-site and 0.39 µB/f.u for Bi anti-site at Na-site. Interestingly, anti-site defects between the A-site and B-site in perovskite ABO3 structure resulted in larger magnetic moments, with values of 0.57 µB/f.u and 0.53 µB/f.u obtained for Ti anti-site defects at the Bi-site and Na-site, respectively. Additionally, magnetic moments of 0.50 µB/f.u and 0.54 µB/f.u were achieved for Bi and Na anti-site defects at the Ti-site, respectively. We expected that our work further contributed to the understanding of the role of surface defects in the magnetism of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 materials in integrating ferromagnetic properties into lead-free ferroelectric materials for smart electronic device applications.","PeriodicalId":504426,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Physics","volume":"117 48","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140669384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structural and ferroelectric properties of the ceramic were investigated. Structure of the materials was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Fabricated materials consists of NiTiO3 with rhombohedral phase structure and CoFe2O4 with cubic structure. The effect of sintering temperature and dwell time on the phase, microsctructure and ferroelectric properties of the ceramics was investigated. As the sintering temperature and dwell time increased, the density of the bulk sample was improved. The material sample was sintered at 1200oC for 10 h with large particle size (~6 µm), few pores and high density ~97.5%. The composite material displayed ferroelectric properties, as evidence from the characteristic hysteresis loop observed in ferroelectric materials. At sintering temperatures of 1000°C and 1100°C for 2 and 5 h, the sample exhibited poor ferroelectric characteristics. However, when the sample was sintered at 1200°C for 10 h, a notable enhancement in ferroelectric properties was observed.","PeriodicalId":504426,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Physics","volume":"13 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139531219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
