Rhombohedral–Tetragonal Phase Boundary with High Curie Temperature in (1-x)BiCoO3–xBiFeO3 Solid Solution

Abstract: The crystal structure change of the solid solution BiCo1-xFexO3 was investigated in order to determine the phase boundary between tetragonal BiCoO3 and rhombohedral BiFeO3. It was found that BiCo1-xFexO3 with x = 0 to 0.6 had tetragonal BiCoO3 structures, while those with x = 0.8 to 1 had rhombohedral BiFeO3 structures at room temperature. The monoclinic √2a ×√2a ×a phase was found for the x = 0.7 sample. The tetragonal-to-cubic phase transition was first observed at around 700–850 °C in Bi-based perovskite fo… Show more

“…5 and 6 clearly indicate a crystal symmetry change with film thickness, regardless the type of the substrate, and suggest that change in the x values for the crystal symmetry boundaries between the tetragonal and rhombohedral symmetries is the same as that reported for BiFeO 3 and the Pb͑Zr, Ti͒O 3 films. 13,14 Based on the phase diagram for the BiCoO 3 -BiFeO 3 solid-solution system reported by Azuma et al, 15 a film with a cubic symmetry was deposited at 700°C for a 0.16BiCoO 3 -0.84BiFeO 3 film because the Curie temperature ͑T c ͒ is below 700°C and likely transforms to the tetragonal one at T c during the cooling process after deposition. In addition, this transformation was accompanied by an additional phase transition from tetragonal to rhombohedral symmetry prior to reaching room temperature.…”

“…However, this technique is not easily available and few HP perovskite systems based on BiFeO 3 have been reported so far. The entire series of solid solutions has been obtained for the BiFeO 3 -BiMO 3 (M = Mn, Co, and Ga) systems only [20][21][22][23]; in other cases, compositions with the particular ratio Fe 3+ /B 3+ = 1 : 1, where B 3+ = Cr and Mn, were merely studied [24,25].…”
