Abstract :
Current work is divided into five major chapters, which starts with the literature review
work on perovskite and multiferroic compounds especially on RFeO3 elements.
Additionally various characterizations have been performed to prove its multiferroic
property.In sight of the results we got, are also discussed in terms of application point of
view especially in energy storage devices and in designing of MLCC. With the help of Solid
State Reaction method, the parent compounds (BTO,YFO and BFO) are successfully
synthesized and based on them, we proposed the binary compounds of xBTBF, xBTYF,
BBTFx and BYTFx which are also synthesized by the help of Solid State Reaction method.
XRD results confirm the pure phase structure without much impurity and Compounds
have either Hexagonal/tetragonal symmetry. We have also calculated crystallite size and
amount of micro strain using Scherrer formula and W-H plot. SEM results confirm the
good quality of the samples without much porosity.
Optical results obtained by FTIR confirm the existence of Ti-O/Fe-O/Ti-O + Fe-O in the
prepared compounds. Results obtained using U. V. visible spectroscopy confirms the
wide band gap semiconductor materials. Electrical results obtained by EIS show the
compounds exhibit giant dielectric constant and low loss which make them usable for
designing the MF/ME devices. Apart from this the conductivity results confirm the NTCR
behavior of the compounds. The results of hysteresis obtained from P-E indicate the
conventional nature of ferroelectric materials with some amount of leaky nature.
Magnetic results confirm the paramagnetic nature of the compounds.
