Abstract:
The reverse co-precipitation method was used for synthesis of the pure phase multiferroic BiFeO۳ (BFO) nanoparticles. Influence of different pH values on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the BFO nanopowders was investigated. Thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) technique indicated that the optimal temperature for calcination is ۵۵۰°C. The phase formation and the existence of transient phases (like Bi۲۵FeO۳۹ and Bi۲Fe۴O۹) has been studied using X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The morphological features of the nanopowders were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and the presence of absorption bands at ۴۰۰ to ۳۶۰۰ was investigated by Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The magnetic properties of the synthesized powders were measured using vibrating sample magnetometery (VSM). The results showed that the BFO powders have R۳c crystal structure. The FESEM micrographs showed pseudo-cubic shape and particles size in the range of ۲۵-۲۳۶ nm. The magnetic hysteresis loops were indicated a weak ferromagnetic behavior of the samples at room temperature. Whereas the particles size of as-prepared powders were lower than the spiral spin cycloid (۶۲ nm) and because of high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles, which causes more uncompensated surface spins, the weak ferromagnetic behavior has been seen.
