Abstract

The effect of Mn substitution on ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties of the Bi0.9La0.1Fe1−xMnxO3 system has been studied. It is seen that, with the increase in Mn content, there is a contraction in unit cell volume. Since the cell volume contraction is isotropic, lattice distortion (c/a) remains the same and so is the ferroelectric transition temperature TC. Further, it is observed that the presence of Mn does not affect the loss tangent (tan δ) of the samples. On the contrary, with increase in Mn content, a small but linear enhancement in the magnetization is observed.
