Popis: This is a study of the crystalline structure and magnetic properties of the multiferroics Bi1−xCaxFe1−xMexO3 (Me = Mn, Ti). It is shown that Mn and Ti are in a quadrivalent state and the oxygen stoichiometry is conserved. The Me = Mn series undergoes a conversion at x = 0.19 from a polar rhombohedral phase (R3c) to a nonpolar orthorhombic phase (Pnma). A similar transition in the Me = Ti series was observed at x = 0.25. In both series, the polar phase (x ≥ 0.1) is weakly ferromagnetic. The spontaneous magnetization of the titanium series, however, exceeds that of the manganese series by more than a factor of three, despite the fact that Ti4+ is a diamagnetic ion. The residual magnetization of the titanium series decreases with rising temperature, while that of the manganese series increases anomalously within the interval 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.22. This behavior of the magnetic properties of the manganese series is explained by the extremely high sensitivity of the magnetic anisotropy to changes in the parameters of...
