摘要: Abstract Phase transition, phonon vibration, and magnetization in (100) BiFeO3 (BFO) multiferroic single crystals have been characterized as functions of temperature. The BFO crystal exhibits a weak ferromagnetic hysteresis loop possibly due to appearance Fe O orderings modulation the bond. Zero-field-cooled (ZFC) field-cooled (FC) magnetic susceptibilities suggest spin-glass behavior below ∼200 K. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) suggests rhombohedral R3c symmetry (with tilted FeO6 octahedra) lattice distortion surface layer. undergoes structural transition sequence rhombohedral−tetragonal−orthorhombic− cubic at ∼620–640, ∼1000, ∼1100 K, respectively. spin-lattice coupling accounts for tetragonal upon approaching Neel temperature (TN). low-frequency Raman-active modes ψ4,II, E(1), A1(1), A1(2) reveal clear softening anomalies frequency shifts broad peaks full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) around 450 K, which is attributed ordering without change symmetry.
