Effects of morphotropic phase boundary on the electric behavior of Er/Ti co-doped BiFeO3 ceramics
2019
Abstract Morphotropic phase boundaries (MPB) consisting of rhombohedral and orthorhombic phases formed within the range of 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.15 in Bi 1- x Er x Fe 0.97 Ti 0.03 O 3 ceramics. Orthorhombic phase transition was verified by the appearance of a new mode at 310 cm −1 in Raman spectra. Bridging phases as intermedia phases of MPB were rare in Bi 1- x Er x Fe 0.97 Ti 0.03 O 3 . Polarization and permittivity improved at MPB. Moreover, impedance spectroscopy revealed additional arcs with a distinct small polaron conduction mechanism. Er 3+ ions enhanced magnetic properties and induced a permittivity change at Neel temperature. The magnetodielectric effect resulted in a permittivity change rate of ~1% at 10000 Oe.
