This study reports the detailed structural phase transition induced by chemical substitution in Bi1-xPrxFeO3 polycrystalline ceramics. Pr3+ substitution is found to destabilize the polar R3c symmetry due to the chemical strain effect caused by the large ionic radius mismatch at the Bi-site. The R3c rhombohedral phase can only be stabilized up to 14 mol% of Pr doping; the phase transition starts to appear at a higher Pr concentration, forming a morphotropic phase boundary between the R3c rhombohedral and Pbam orthorhombic phases. Increasing Pr concentration causes the magnetic transition from a pure antiferromagnetic to a weak ferromagnetic state due to the evolution of crystal structure.
The detailed structural phase transition induced by chemical substitution in Bi1-xPrxFeO3 (x = 0.1-0.2) poly-crystalline ceramics is reported herein. Pr3+ substitution is observed to destabilize the polar R3c symmetry due to the chemical strain effect caused by the large ionic radius mismatch at the Bi-site. The R3c rhombohedral phase can only be stabilized up to 14 mol% of Pr doping (x < 0.14); the phase transition starts to appear at a higher Pr concentration (x >= 0.14), forming a morphotropic phase boundary between the R3c rhombohedral and Pbam orthorhombic phases. Increasing Pr concentration causes the magnetic transition from a pure antiferromagnetic to a weak ferromagnetic state as a result of the evolution of crystal structure. The influence of PB spins on the magnetic properties of Bi1-xPrxFeO3 compounds has been uncovered through manipulation of the mixed phase state by an electric field, temperature, and structural relaxation.
