Studies on magnetoelectric coupling and magnetic properties of (1 − x)BiFeO3–xBaTiO3 solid solutions

Structure, magnetization and magnetoelectric coupling of (1 − x)BiFeO3–xBaTiO3 (BFO–BT) solid solutions have been studied as a function of BT content (x = 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30).The phase purity and crystal lattice symmetry were estimated from X-ray diffraction studies, which undergo gradual, well-controlled structural transformations from rhombohedral to cubic structure with morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). The micro-structural …
