Abstract

Room-temperature crystal structure and multiferroic properties of the Bi_0.92Nd_0.08Fe_1-xMn_xO₃ (x ≤ 0.3) ferromanganites have been studied to reveal the effect of Mn doping on the magnetic and ferroelectric behaviors of the lanthanide-modified compound representing a polar (space group R3c) predominantly antiferromagnetic phase of the Bi_1-xLn_xFeO₃ perovskites. B-site substitution tends to suppress existing polar displacements and induces a ferroelectric-to-antiferroelectric transition near x = 0.2. The threshold concentration inducing the structural transformation does not coincide with that required to change the dominant magnetic interaction, so a weak ferromagnetic/ferroelectric state unusual for the Bi_1-xLn _xFeO₃ and BiFe_1-xMn_xO₃ series appears in the intermediate concentration range near the polar/nonpolar phase boundary.
