Abstract
Spintronic functionality in ferromagnetic materials is a next-generation technique, to be used in data storage, high-frequency communications, and logic devices with minimum energy consumption. Ultra-low energy consumption in high-speed logic devices can be envisioned by inducing ferromagnetic behavior into room temperature multiferroic materials. However, there is a scarcity of room temperature multiferroic materials which have a definite spin degree of freedom. To fully exploit these technological challenges, we introduce the induced ferromagnetism in bismuth ferrite (BiFeO, BFO) by doping transition metal (Cr, Ni, Co) elements. Our investigation initiates with the experimental study on chemically synthesized BiFeM O samples where x  =  0.0625 (6.25%) and M  =  Cr, Ni and Co. Experimental findings are verified by theoretical simulation using density functional theory (DFT  +  U) and gauge including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) based calculation. All the experimental studies are done at room temperature while the theoretical verification using DFT is carried to understand the underlying mechanism behind the magnetic behavior of doped BiFeO. It is done by optimizing the structural parameters comparable to the room temperature values. Microstructural and magnetic properties are studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). All these experimental studies confirm the structural changes and induced ferromagnetism with doping. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) verified the reason behind this ferromagnetic property on the basis of oxygen vacancy content. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy shows the tuning of Δg values due to enhanced magnetization. The density of states (DOS) calculations were performed on BFO (band-gap 1.89 eV) after structural optimization using DFT  +  U method, confirm our experimental findings. Magnetic moment values change drastically with doping elements (M), i.e. almost negligible for BFO (antiferromagnetic) to maximum (2.85 μ /f.u.) for Ni-doped sample. We also compute the EPR g-tensor using GIPAW method to confirm the tuning of Δg values due to enhanced magnetization. These results can highlight the impact and importance of suitable transition element doping to induce the room temperature ferromagnetism in BiFeO.
