Polycrystalline BiFeO3 and Bi0.9Nd0.1Fe1-xScxO3 (x = 0, 0.05, and 0.10) multiferroic compounds were prepared using conventional solid-state route. X-ray diffraction studies and Raman measurements indicated that the compounds were crystallized in rhombohedral structure with R3c space group. Weak ferromagnetism was induced due to the suppression of canted spin structure in the substituted compounds. Both remanent magnetization (M-r) and coercive field (H-c) were enhanced in Nd and Sc substituted compounds. Further, Neel temperature T-N was decreased from 644K for BiFeO3 to 550K for Bi0.9Nd0.1Fe0.9Sc0.1O3 compound due to weakening of magnetic exchange interactions between B-site cations in the substituted compounds. Enhanced and nearly well saturated electrical polarizations were observed in Sc substituted compounds, which are attributed to the strengthening of covalent hybridization between Bi and O ions and reduction in oxygen vacancies. The remnant polarization was enhanced to 12.5 mu C/cm(2) in Bi0.9Nd0.1Fe0.9Sc0.1O3 compound. Impedance studies revealed that insulating character of substituted compounds is enhanced and (e)lectrical relaxations are of non-Debye type. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
