Abstract
The multiferroic (Bi0.95RE0.05)(Fe0.95Mn0.05)O3 (where RE is Gd (BGFM) and Dy (BDFM)) has been synthesized by using the solid state reaction (SSR) technique. Effects of Gd and Dy substitutions on the structure, electrical and ferroelectric properties of (Bi0.95RE0.05)(Fe0.95Mn0.05)O3 samples have been studied by performing X-ray diffraction, dielectric measurements and magnetic measurements. The crystal structure of the ceramic samples shows a monoclinic phase. Studies of dielectric properties (dielectric constant (ε) and tangent loss (tanδ)) both as a function of frequency (10 and 100kHz) and temperatures (20–300°C) exhibit dielectric anomaly in the range of (225–245°C) suggesting a possible ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition in the compounds. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement shows a significant change in the magnetic properties of Gd and Dy doped (Bi0.95RE0.05)(Fe0.95Mn0.05)O3. It is seen that the coercive field (HC) and remanent magnetization (MR) increase for Gd.
