“…The degree of structural distortion can be visualized from the tolerance factor (t) of the prepared samples which is calculated similarly as our previous reports [20,21]. All the prepared samples possess R3c type hexagonal structure [37,38]. It is observed that the tolerance factor of prepared samples lies between 0.8 and 0.9, which signify the hexagonal crystal structure [39].…”

In this work, Bi1−x Ca x FeO3 (for x = 0.00–0.30) single-phase thin films were developed on clean glass substrates via simple spray pyrolysis technique. The microscopic crystal structure and magnetic characteristics of the Ca modified thin films were investigated. X-ray diffraction study confirms the hexagonal structure with the space group R3c for all the prepared thin film samples. The crystallite sizes and lattice strains were computed by using the Williamson–Hall plot. The morphology of the samples was viewed by field emission scanning electron microscopy which shows that the average size of grains systematically decreases with the addition of Ca atom at Bi site. The compositions of samples were confirmed by using energy dispersive spectroscopy. The structural phase transition and the position of different Raman modes were observed by using the Raman spectroscopy technique. The elementary compositions, different oxidation states, and the effect of oxygen vacancies of the elements were observed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The magnetic field (H) dependence of magnetization (M) (i.e. M–H hysteresis loops) of the pure bismuth ferrite (BFO) and Ca doped BFO thin film samples conducted at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer with an applied magnetic field of ±30 kOe and confirmed that the value of magnetization significantly increases with Ca addition at Bi-site in BFO atom. The maximum value saturation magnetization of 3.8176 emu g−1 and remanent magnetization of 0.1408 emu g−1 obtained for the 25% Ca doped BFO thin films.

“…15 BFO as a multiferroic material exhibits ferroelectric and magnetic ordering, simultaneously, due to the 6 s 2 lone pair of electrons in Bi 3+ ions and partially filled 3d 5 shell of the Fe 3+ ions, respectively. 16,17 It exhibits multiferroic behaviour due to the simultaneous existence of sites with variable charges and inequivalent magnetic ions. 18 So far, BFO has been used to degrade methylene blue, 19 methyl orange, 20 rhodamine B, 21 congo red, 22 cefixime, 23 oxalic acid and norfloxacin.…”
