Enhancement in the multiferroic properties of BiFeO3 by charge compensated aliovalent substitution of Ba and Nb
Polycrystalline ceramics, Bi1-2xBa2xFe1-xNbxO3 (x = 0.00–0.15), were synthesized by solid state reactions method. X-ray diffraction data have revealed elimination of impurity phases and an increase in unit cell volume with Ba and Nb substitution. Diffraction peak splitting is found to be suppressed...
