Multiferroic nanoparticles of Bi1−xSrxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07) were prepared by a facile sol–gel route and the variation of their structural, optical, dielectric and magnetic properties on strontium concentration has been studied. XRD and TEM results confirm the phase purity of the samples having high degree of crystallinity and monodispersity. The average particle size shows an exponential decline with increase in Sr concentration. A shape transformation from a multifaceted polygon to a spherical one has been observed as Sr concentration in the sample increases to 5%. In the second derivative FTIR spectra, the intensity of vibration peak at ∼593 cm−1 that is characteristic of rhombohedral BiFeO3 is seen to decrease after Sr doping. All the samples showed typical M–H behavior of a ferromagnet with saturation magnetization achieved within an applied magnetic field of 10 kOe. The sample with 3% Sr substitution displayed saturation and remanent magnetization values 1.37 emu/g and 0.32 emu/g respectively that are highest among all the samples studied. Presence of exchange coupling produced due to interaction between the antiferromagnetic core and ferromagnetic shell is also observed in all Bi1−xSrxFeO3 nanoparticles. |
