Abstract

Bismuth layered perovskite structures show interesting physical properties varying as a function of external parameters (temperature, frequency, electric and magnetic fields). When a magnetic ion is incorporated in some of these materials, some of the structures show simultaneous ferroelectricity and ferro/antiferromagnetism. Thus, they exhibit magnetoelectric properties under the influence of an external magnetic field. This paper compares the structural (XRD and SEM) and electrical properties of two eight-layered Aurivillius oxides.
