Saturation magnetization and band gap tuning in BiFeO3 nanoparticles via co-substitution of Gd and Mn

Abstract: In this investigation, Gd and Mn co-doped Bi 0.85 Gd 0.15 Fe 1-x Mn x O 3 (x=0.0-0.15) nanoparticles have been prepared to report the influence of co-substitution on their structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties. Due to simultaneous substitution of Gd and Mn in BiFeO 3 , the crystal structure has been modified from rhombohedral (R3c) to orthorhombic (Pn2 1 a) and the Fe-O-Fe bond angle and Fe-O bond length have been changed. For Mn doping up to 10% in Bi 0.85 Gd 0.15 Fe 1-x Mn x O 3 nanoparticl… Show more

“…Figure 7 The calculated band gap values are tabulated in table 3 and clearly shows a decreasing trend with Mo 6+ doping. Band gap energy is reduced from 2.35 eV to 2.26 eV for 15 wt% Mo doping in BBFMO-0 ceramic which is the lowest for BFO to the best of our knowledge [35]. Several studies report that, distortion in FeO 6 octahedron causes different hybridization between O 2− and Fe 3+ which leads to the formation of a unique energy level in between Fe 3d and O 2p states [36].…”

“…The band gap of the synthesised BiFeO 3 nanoparticles has been observed to be 2.37 eV, which is blue shifted compared to its bulk counterpart (1.82 eV) [28]. The decrease in the band gap with doping of Ca 2þ ions may be attributed to new energy levels introduced between conduction and valance band [29].…”

“…Since the discovery of the interesting dielectric properties of BTO, several works have been reported. Since addition of dopants has always been beneficial in terms of high dielectric properties, BTO has been doped with different types of acceptor or donor dopants [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
