Abstract

The solid solution of multiferroic BiFeO3 with antiferroelectric NaNbO3 [i.e., Bi1−x Na x Fe1−x Nb x O3] for x = 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.32, 0.38 and 0.40 prepared by means of high temperature solid state ceramic method are presented. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the single-phase formation. Structural transformation in solid solution from rhombohedral to cubic phase has been observed with increasing NaNbO3 concentration. The field emission scanning electron microscopy shows the formation of dense ceramic with a non-uniform grain size. Room temperature Raman studies also confirms a structural transformation in solid solution with increase in NaNbO3 concentration. The structural transformation in solid solution has been explained on the basis of lattice strain induced by doping.
