Abstract

Ferroelectric and magnetic properties are investigated for Bi2Fe4O9 nanoparticles with different shapes (cuboid and sphere-like) synthesized by hydrothermal and sol-gel method. The magnetic study reveals that coercivity, Neel temperature and remanent magnetization strongly depend on shape of the particle. The nanoparticle with sphere-like shape exhibits magnetization curve of antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering with ferromagnetic (FM) component. As the particle shape changes from sphere-like to cuboid, the AFM component is dominating over the ferromagnetic component. A small exchange bias is also observed at low temperature in both the sphere-like and cuboid nanoparticle. The coercivity, remanent magnetization and Neel temperature of sphere-like nanoparticle is greater than cuboid nanoparticle. Ferroelectric measurement shows the remanent polarization of cuboid is greater than sphere-like nanoparticle but the coercivity is almost same. This Bi2Fe4O9 nanoparticle shows a small change in polarization under magnetic field. The polarization value decreases with magnetic field increases. The magnetoelectric coupling-measured by change of remanent polarization under magnetic field are found to be greater in Bi2Fe4O9 sphere-like nanoparticles. These shape dependent magnetic and ferroelectric properties are coming because of shape anisotropy.
