Abstract

The heat capacity of Bi1 − x Re x FeO3 (Re = La, Eu, Ho; x = 0, x = 0.05) multiferroics has been studied in the temperature range of 120–800 K. The substitution of a small amount of rare-earth elements for bismuth leads to a significant increase in the heat capacity in the broad temperature range studied. It is established that the temperature dependence of the excess heat capacity is related to the Schottky effect for three-level states certain that appear as a result of structure distortions in the rare-earth-doped compositions.
