Abstract

The heat capacity and permittivity of Bi0.8Ho0.2FeO3 multiferroics were studied in a wide temperature range of 300--750 K. It was found that doping with holmium with rare-earth element leads to significant changes in the temperature dependences of the specific heat Cp and permittivity ε 'at high temperatures. It is shown that an additional contribution to the specific heat can be interpreted as a Schottky anomaly for three-level states arising due to distortion of the lattice parameters upon doping. An additional anomaly characteristic of the phase transition was found in the temperature dependences of Cp and ε '. Research results are discussed in conjunction with structural studies.
