Abstract:
Bi0.8Ba0.2FeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the material crystallizes in a tetragonal structure with the P4/mmm space group. This structural transformation plays an important role in the microstructural distortion and phase modification of the material, which are favorable for enhancing the magnetic and dielectric properties. The substitution of Ba2+ ions in the Bi-site of the BiFeO3 lattice leads to a notable increase in the remanent (Mᵣ) and saturation magnetization (MS) along with the coercive field (HC). Furthermore, the Bi0.8Ba0.2FeO3 compound exhibits a high dielectric constant (ε') accompanied by a low dielectric loss (tg(δ)), manifesting its strong potential for applications in capacitors and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) devices.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
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 eye.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
