Synthesis, Structural and Magnetic Properties of BiFeO₃ Substituted with Ag.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the hydrothermal synthesis of BFO (bismuth ferrite) and Bi_1-xAg_xFeO₃ (x = 0.01, 0.02) ultrafine nanopowders. The diffraction patterns show that all obtained particles belong to the R3c space group. On top of that, crystal structure prediction has been accomplished using bond valence calculations (BVCs). Several promising perovskite structures have been proposed together with experimentally observed modifications of BFO as a function of silver doping. Magnetization measurements were performed on BFO, both pure and substituted with 1% and 2% of Ag. The addition of Ag in BFO did not affect the Neel temperature, T_N = 630 K for all samples; instead, the influence of Ag was observed in the increase in the value and irreversibilit
