Bi1.05Fe1-xMnxO3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized, and their structural, ferroelectric, optical, and magnetic properties were investigated. The magnetic properties showed different trends with an increase in Mn concentration, suggesting potential applications.
In the present work, Bi1.05Fe1-xMnxO3, (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10) NPs were synthesized successfully using the sol-gel technique followed by annealing at 550 degrees C. The synthesized NPs were investigated for their structural, ferroelectric, optical, and magnetic properties through X-ray diffraction, P-E (polarization vs. electric field) hysteresis loops, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and DC-magnetization. The analysis of XRD patterns revealed that the crystallite sizes, lattice parameters, and strain were found to be reduced with an increase in Mn concentration. The ferroelectric properties were studied from the P-E hysteresis loops, which revealed the maximum remnant polarization obtained for Bi1.05Fe0.95Mn0.05O3 NPs. The UV-vis and PL spectra revealed excellent optical properties indicating a reduction (1.91-1.36 eV) in the bandgap with an increase in Mn concentration. The magnetic properties were investigated through the magnetic field (H) dependent magnetization (M) hysteresis loops. The saturation magnetization was found to be maximum (similar to 1.4 emu/g) for Bi1.05Fe0.90Mn0.10O3 NPs. The MH hysteresis loops narrow down near H = 0 forming a wasp waist shape that is maximum for Bi1.05Fe0.90Mn0.10O3 NPs and may be associated with the presence of the canted spins.
