Abstract

The main focus of the research was to correlate the microstructure with dielectric and magnetic properties of Bi1−x Ba x FeO3 samples. Bi1−x Ba x FeO3 samples (x = 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction method using nano-powders of Bi2O3, Fe2O3, and BaCO3. Thereafter, field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to examine the structure and phase of the samples. Phase analysis by XRD indicated that the single-phase perovskite structure was formed with possible increment in lattice parameter with increasing Ba doping. Complex permeability (\( \mu_{i}^{{\prime }} \) and \( \mu_{i}^{{{\prime \prime }}} \)) measured using impedance analyzer confirmed the increase in magnetic property with increasing Ba doping. Finally, dielectric constant (k) was analyzed as a function of temperature at different frequencies. Dielectric constant as high as 2900 was attained in this research for Bi0.8Ba0.2FeO3 sample due to reduction in leakage current at this composition.
