Abstract
Crystal structure and magnetic properties of BiFeO3 compounds co-doped with Ca and Mn ions as well as Ca and Ti ones were studied using diffraction and magnetometry techniques. Crystal structure of the Bi1−xCaxFe1−xMnxO3 ceramics with x 0.25 show complex magnetic behavior associated with the coexistence of antiferromagnetic matrix and magnetic clusters. Compounds co-doped with Ca and Ti ions with rhombohedral structure testify nearly three times larger remnant magnetization as compared with that observed for Ca|Mn-doped series, and magnetic state of the compounds with x > 0.1 remains to be homogeneous weak ferromagnetic one up to x ~ 0.3, and above this concentration, magnetic structure is disrupted because of diamagnetic dilution.
