Abstract:
Bi0.80Ba0.20Fe1-xTixO3 ( ) samples are prepared using solid state reaction technique. Bi3+ site is replaced with 20 % Ba2+ which induced structural modification from rhombohedral to pseudo cubic accompanied by the creation of oxygen vacancies owing to the charge reimbursement. Fe3+ site is replaced with different concentrations of Ti4+ keeping Ba content fixed. All the samples exhibited similar morphology and no significant variation in grain size is observed by substituting Ti at Fe site. All of the samples exhibited ferromagnetic behavior, which is ascribed to the destruction of spiral spin structures and changes in super-exchange interaction strength caused by variations in bond lengths of Fe-O and Fe-O-Fe. The decrease in magnetization with increasing Ti concentration is due to magnetic moment dilution caused by non-magnetic Ti4+. An anomalous trend in magnetization is observed for magnetic measurements at low temperature (77 K) where structural transformation from ferromagnetic to diamagnetic behavior was noted for 10% Ti content. Further, because of the incorporation of Ti4+, an improved dielectric property was observed due to increase in resistivity and decrease in the defect concentration (oxygen vacancies). In the present study, it was concluded that optimum concentration of Ba2+ (20%) and Ti4+ co-doped BiFeO3 systems have shown enhanced multiferroic properties at room temperature.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
