Abstract

In this paper, the synthesis of BiFe1−xMnxO3 (x = 0.05, 0.10, 015, 0.20) thin films using a sol–gel technique was proposed. The structural characteristics of the thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), indicating a structural transition from typical rhombohedral-R3c (BiFeO3) to orthorhombic-Pbmn (BiFe0.80Mn0.20O3). It was shown that, Mn was successfully doped into BiFeO3 films and the Fe3+ ions in the films increased after doping by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The numerical results in this paper showed that the saturation magnetization of these BiFeO3 thin films had been found to increase on doping with Mn2+ ions, reaching a maximum value of 83.5 emu/cm3 for the BiFe0.80Mn0.20O3 thin films. The numerical results also revealed that the proposed method in this paper can serve as a useful theoretical tool for gaining insight into the correlations of magnetic and structure property for BiFeO3 thin films.
