摘要

Multiferroic properties in pure and Dy3+-doped BiFeO₃ ceramics [Bi1-xDyxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 mole%)] were systematically investigated. The samples were synthesized via a citrate–nitrate auto-combustion route. The room-temperature magnetization measurements confirmed the weak magnetism in 5 mol% Dy3+-doped BFO, which is further confirmed in temperature-dependent magnetization where ferromagnetic behavior evolves below the Néel temperature (TN = 645 K), consistent with differential scanning calorimetry results. However, pure as well as other doped compositions did not reveal such behavior. We present a comparative Raman spectral analysis of the A1 phonon mode (Bi–O vibration) exhibiting a sharp anomaly in the 5 mol% Dy3+-substituted sample, signifying strong spin–phonon coupling as supported by the Δω versus [Msublattice(T)/Ms]2 relation following Granado et al. [1]. Furthermore, temperature-dependent PE loop measurements evidenced a distinct magnetic-field-induced modification of polarization near TN, confirming the presence of magnetoelectric coupling in 5 mol% Dy3+-doped BFO; however, such behavior in pure BFO was absent.
