Magnetic field induced ferroelectric loop in Bi0.75Sr0.25FeO3

Abstract

Magnetic field induced ferroelectric hysteresis loop observed in Bi0.75Sr0.25FeO3-delta is of prime importance. The coexistence of antiferromagnetism and weak ferromagnetism is responsible for the original magnetoelastic and magnetoferroelectric properties. Upon external magnetic field application, the existence of a magnetostrictive effect supports a structural transition towards a homogeneous antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric phase. The magnetic field induced polarization is among the highest reported for BiFeO3 based systems in either thin film or bulk forms (Pr=96 microC/cm2 at 10T) while the ferroelectric coercive field is among the lowest reported (Hc=661(V/cm) at 10T). These properties make this material very attractive for technical applications.
