Abstract

An inter hexagonal species structural phase transformation from R3c to R3cH was found while doping BFO with 20% concentration of (CaTiO3), which manifests itself as distorted trigonal symmetry. The XPS analysis reveals dual oxidation states (Fe2+ & Fe3+) of the Fe2p3/2 state when deconvoluted. The existence of dominating Oads is also confirmed, thereby giving a helping hand toward hopping and double exchange mechanisms. The permittivity curves followed both symmetric and asymmetric dispersion of relaxation mechanisms, which is best fitted by the Havriliak-Negami functions. The decrement of dielectric relaxation times with thermal energy validates the possibility of temperature-mediated induced entropies and phase lags of dipolar moments. The modulus dispersions curves were fitted following R. Bergman’s formalism, which showed that the dielectric relaxations can be explained as a sum of some Kohlrausch-Williams-Watt \(\beta_{KWW}\) stretched exponents. The extracted numerics of \(\beta_{KWW}\) parameters proved the upper hand of dipolar interactions toward polarizability. The possibility of wider grain wall formation is also validated by it. The ferroelectric and magnetic studies revealed enhancement in the suppression of ferroelectric leakages relative to the parent composite and improved opening of M-H loops, reinforced by enhanced DM hamiltonian interactions due to structural bending and elongation in the double exchange interaction chain, together with the G-type antiferromagnetic phase of the host. The conductivity data fitting was performed by incorporating Dyre’s RFEBM(Random Free Energy Barrier Model) model, where conductivity was verified to be following the mechanisms of hopping jumps through an extended range of free energy barriers.
