Abstract

In the present work, we synthesized composites (1 − x) Bi0.9La0.1FeO3-(x) BaTiO3 with x = 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 by solid-state technique. We studied their crystal structure, morphology, optical, electrical, and magnetic behavior. Crystal structure of the constituents of the composites and their presence in the composite was witnessed from the analysis of X-ray diffractograms by Rietveld refinement of the synthesized composites. Micrographs obtained from FESEM characterization technique revealed the non-homogeneous grain and grain boundaries with no foreign impurities. In addition, energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction analysis (EDAX) confirms the presence of all the integral elements of the composite. Optical bandgap of the order of ~ 2.19 eV was estimated from the analysis of diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectroscopy (DRS). Temperature-dependent dielectric properties of the synthesized samples were measured at different constant frequency values in the temperature range from 100 to 350 °C. A gradual increase in dielectric constant from 180 °C was shown by all the samples. Corresponding to different applied constant field values, the polarizability vs. electric field loop (P–E loop) of all composites displays leakage. This behavior is attributed to the volatile nature of bismuth ferrite. Magnetization vs. magnetic field (M–H) hysteresis loop characteristics obtained at room temperature revealed the anti-ferromagnetic nature for pure Bi0.9La0.1FeO3. Further, weak ferromagnetic property becomes dominant as BaTiO3 content increased in the composite.Article title: Kindly check and confirm the edit made in the title.ok
