abstract = "Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is considered one of the most promising single phase multiferroic materials thanks to the fact it exhibits ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties in the same time in very wide range of temperatures (up to 370 °C). Difficulties in obtaining pure BiFeO3 phase and dense ceramics, together with occurrence of leakage currents have prevented application of BiFeO3.
Substitution of Bi3+ or Fe3+ ions with some transition metal or rare earth ions can
improve both electrical and magnetic properties by reducing leakage currents and introducing weak ferromagnetism through structural changes.
Y doped bismuth ferrite, Bi1-xYxFeO3, was synthesized by auto-combustion method using urea as a fuel. Precursor powders were annealed, pressed and sintered. Powders and ceramic samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, Raman, impedance spectroscopy, ferroelectric and magneticmeasurements.
X-ray diffractograms and Raman spectra showed no presence of secondary phases. SEM images indicated lowering of grain size with higher concentration of Y3+. Electrical resistance is highly improved even at 1 % of Y, while 10 % of Y was necessary to break spiral spin structure, leading to weak ferromagnetism.",
