Synthesis and Characterization of BiFeO3 Ceramic by Simple and Novel Methods

چکیده مقاله

BiFeO3 nanopowders with new morphology have been synthesized by different methods. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and vibrating sample magnetometer were carried out at room temperature to study the structural and magnetic properties of as-synthesized products. VSM was utilized to measure the size-dependent magnetic behaviors of the as-prepared nanoparticles. Results show that the method has strong effect on the purity of the products. BFO synthesized by third method was pure. Crystallite size has a great effect on the magnetic properties. According to these results the nanoparticle diameter is smaller than the critical single-domain diameter, avoiding the configuration of magnetic domain walls decreases the magnetization. Even though the diameter of particle becomes even smaller, the thermal stability of the magnetization orientation decreases
