- Abstract
The impact of partial substitution of erbium and transition metal (zirconium/yttrium/niobium) at bismuth and iron site on multiferroism and magnetoelectric coupling of BFO was studied. Three samples Bi0.95Er0.05Fe0.98X0.02O3 (where X = Nb/Zr/Y) were prepared by sol–gel method. The structural, morphological, and elemental aspects of the samples were scrutinized. The ferroelectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric properties of the samples were recorded. The combined effect of erbium and zirconium offered better saturated ferroelectric loop with greater remnant polarization value (0.74 µC/cm2). On including erbium and zirconium inside bismuth ferrite, the magnetization of BFO got improved very much with remanence value (0.095 emu/g). The combination of erbium and zirconium has intensified the magneto electric behavior in the bismuth ferrite. Interestingly, zirconium inclusion inside the BFO system instead of niobium and yttrium has provoked all the multifunctional aspects uniformly.
