Low temperature magnetic and dielectric properties correlation in Fe-doped copper (ii) oxide ceramics for potential device application

Abstract

The bulk samples of CuO and Fe-doped CuO were synthesized by ceramics methods. Structural and compositional analyses were performed by using X-ray diffraction, SEM, and EDAX. Through this manuscript, we are going to report the effect of trivalent iron doping (Fe${}^{3+}$) in copper (II) oxide (Cu${}_{0.95}$Fe${}_{0.05}$O) bulk samples on magnetic and dielectric behavior. The paramagnetic phase has been established in CuO as a result of Fe${}^{3+}$ doping. The strong correlation between magnetic and dielectric properties indicated spin-polaron interaction at the transition temperature. Bulk CuO and also Cu${}_{0.95}$Fe${}_{0.05}$O exhibit the multiferroic phase in a narrow temperature range (190 K to 230 K). Two transitions happened from a paramagnetic-paraelectric phase to incommensurate or asymmetrical antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferroelectric state near highest Neel temperature (TN1) ~230 K and another second phase transition, the order of AF phase transformed to commensurate AF phase and ferroelectricity disappeared at around the Neel temperature (TN2) ~210 K in all samples. This Cu${}_{0.95}$Fe${}_{0.05}$O would show its potential in the spintronic application for a high dielectric constant with low loss and high magnetic susceptibility.
