Abstract:

Bi₅FeTi_2.5Co_0.5O₁₅ (BFTC) ceramics was successfully synthesized using the sol-gel method. It exhibits simultaneously visible-light response, ferroelectric and weak ferromagnetic orders at room temperature. The narrow band gap of 2.06 eV was determined via the UV-vis diffuse absorption spectrum. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results show that the Fe ions in the samples is 3 + and 2 + valence states while the doped Co ions is 2 + valence state. The BFTC sample undergoes a ferromagnetic-like transition at ?552 K. Weak ferromagnetism is mainly due to spin-canting of Fe-based and Co-based sublattices via Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. Dielectric loss and dielectric modulus exhibit the characteristics of dielectric relaxation, which can be ascribed to oxygen?vacancy hopping. These results reveal many potentially useful physical phenomena and open a new avenue to design of novel solar-energy conversion devices and multiferroic applications.
