摘要: We demonstrate that oxygen vacancies (VO) produced by aliovalent (Ca2+) doping in BiFeO3 (BCFO) and associated structural changes due to VO ordering result systematic alteration of the bandgap (Eg) over a wide range from 1.5 eV 2.3 eV. By contrast, change Ca2+ Ti4+ co-doped (BCFTO) system, wherein formation is suppressed, negligible. These contrastive results strongly confirm role altering BCFO. Irrespective doping, microstrain, which found be large (0.3 1.2%) below critical size (dc ~ 60 nm) also produces small, yet linear (Eg 2.0 eV). The cubic phase stabilizes gradually BCFO for x > 0.1 through an orthorhombic (for 0.05 BCFTO. This at 300 K suggests high-pressure-like (or high-temperature-like) effect dopants on structure. Systematic variations relative intensities peak positions Fe d–d transitions reveal local Fe–O–Fe coordination. along with XANES HRTEM studies substantiate observed changes.
