Investigation of multiferroic behavior on flakes-like BiFeO3
Abstract
In present work, multiferroic BiFeO3 was synthesized by hydrothermal route. The rhombohedral structure was confirmed X-ray diffraction pattern and data fitted with Reitveld refinement using Full-Prof software suite. SEM micrograph shows flake like morphology. Frequency and temperature dependence of dielectric constant and dielectric loss were studied and detected enhancement in dielectric constant. The magnetic measurement indicates antiferromagnetic nature of BFO. P-E curve shows ferroelectic hysteresis loop with remanent polarization (2Pr) 0.3518 µC/cm2. The dielectric anomaly observed near TN can be assigned to magnetoelectric coupling which is useful in device application.
