Abstract
Structural, electrical and magnetic properties of chemically synthesized polycrystalline Mn doped (0.90)BiFeO3–(0.10)BaTiO3 composites [(0.90)BiFe1−xMnxO3–(0.10)BaTiO3 (x = 0.0, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.10)] were studied. The dielectric constant was observed to decrease when frequency was increased from 20 Hz to 1 MHz and increased with the increase in temperature from 313 to 773 K. An interesting correlation between the antiferromagnetic Neel temperature (TN) of bismuth ferrite and temperature dependent dielectric constant was observed. The calculated values of activation energies were in the order of 0.25–0.74 eV (<1.0 eV) and decreases with an increase of Mn concentration. The variation of a.c. conductivity obeyed the Jonscher’s power law (σ
ac
∝ ω
s
). The observed value of exponent‘s’ were in the range 0.09 < ‘s’ < 0.78 (<1.0) for all the sample at temperature ranging from 473 to 598 K. There was a systematic increase in the value of spontaneous magnetization on increasing Mn concentration.
