Abstract

It has been reported that magnetoelectric multiferroics are beneficial to magnetic field sensor applications and optoelectronic devices. The nanopowders of BMOS 5% (BiMnO2.95S0.05) and BMOCl 5% (BiMnO2.95Cl0.05) have been synthesized through the simple hydrothermal method. Optical properties studies reveal the lower bandgap values with a higher refractive index. The enhanced dielectric constant is shown by the anion (S2− and Cl−)-doped BiMnO3 (BMO). Fiber-optic-based clad-modified fiber coated with nanopowders (BMOS 5% and BMOCl 5%) has been used for the detection of an applied magnetic field (17.2 mT to 190.6 mT). Evanescence wave technology has been utilized for the detection of the magnetic field. Nonmetallic (anion)-doped BMO reflects appreciable results in maximum sensitivity above 70% for both the samples (BMOS ~ 73.6% and BMOCl ~ 70.1%). Hence, the proposed sensor would be useful for magnetic field sensing applications for its simple preparation technique and cost-effectiveness, which is suitable for future magnetic field sensor device applications.
