Abstract

In this work, we report on the synthesis of Gd3+ substituted BiFeO3 nanoparticles and their structural, chemical, and magnetic characterizations. Single rhombohedral phase is obtained till x = 0.06 in Bi1-xGdxFeO3 nanoparticles, as confirmed by the Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction profiles. Beyond x = 0.06, a mixed phase consisting of both rhombohedral and orthorhombic structures is established. This kind of atom substitution-driven structural change is also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Core-level X-ray photoemission spectroscopy reveals the dominance of the Fe3+ oxidation state and also provides an estimation of oxygen vacancies which are found to be ~ 28% and 17% for x = 0.06 and 0.15 samples, respectively. The width of the hysteresis loop increases with the increase in Gd3+ concentration, suggesting an enhancement in magnetic character in contrast with pure BiFeO3 nanoparticles, and ferromagnetic contribution to the magnetization is estimated to a maximum value of 0.50 emu/g for x = 0.12.
