Abstract
The crystal structure, dielectric, magnetic and magnetoelectric (ME) properties of Bi 1xGd xFeO 3 (BGFO, x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) multiferroic ceramics have been studied. The substitution of bismuth by gadolinium induces a phase structural transition at x>0.1, which leads to the suppression of the spiral modulated spin structure and develops weak ferromagnetic properties in the BiFeO 3-based materials. Through studying the temperature/magnetic field dependence of the ME coefficient, we have revealed the effect of the substitution of Gd 3+ ions on the ME properties, and have demonstrated the possibility of manipulating the electric state in BGFO multiferroics by applying magnetic field at room temperature.
