Abstract

Investigation of crystal structure, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties of polycrystalline Bi_1-xDy_xFeO₃ (0.1≤x≤0.2) samples was carried out. X-ray diffraction study revealed composition-driven rhombohedral-to-orthorhombic R3c→Pnma phase transition at x∼0.15. Both structural phases were found to coexist in a broad concentration range. Piezoresponse force microscopy found suppression of the parent ferroelectric phase upon dysprosium substitution. Magnetometric study confirmed that the A -site doping induces appearance of a weak ferromagnetic behavior. Both the ferroelectric and magnetic properties were shown to correlate with a structural evolution.
