X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and magnetoelectric effect studies of (BiFeO3)x-(BaTiO3)1-x solid solutions

Abstract

In this work the hyperfine interactions in (BiFeO3)x-(BaTiO3)1–x solid solutions with relation to their structural properties have been investigated. X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetoelectric effect measurements have been used for studies of sintered (BiFeO3)x-(BaTiO3)1–x solid solutions with x = 0.9, 0.8 and 0.7. With increasing contents of BaTiO3, the structural transformation from rhombohedral to cubic was observed. The weakening of the hyperfine magnetic fields accompanied by this transformation. On the other hand, the increasing amount of BaTiO3 caused an increase of the magnetoelectric effect
