Abstract
Abstract Aurivillius compound Bi6Fe2-xCox/2Nix/2Ti3O18 (xBFCNT, 0≤x≤1) ceramics synthesized by a conventional solid state method, can exhibit simultaneously visible-light response, ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orders at room-temperature. The effects of structural phases and lattice distortions on electron transitions, polarizations and orbital orderings have been systematically investigated. Narrow band gaps of xBFCNT were confirmed and modified from 2.12 eV to 1.28 eV with increasing x by ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectrophotometer. Co and Ni ions co-doping is found to induce ferromagnetic behavior but affects adversely the ferroelectric characteristics. In particular, the x=0.4 composition show obvious ferromagnetism with maximum remnant magnetization Mr (0.5 emu/g) and saturation magnetization Ms (2.4872 emu/g), due to spin canting of Fe/Ni/Co-based sub-lattices. These results reveal rich physical phenomena and open an avenue to design promising solar-energy conversion devices and multiferroic applications.
