Synthesis of bi1–xprxfe1–xсоxo3 solid solutions by solid-state reactions method using bifeo3 and рrсоо3 precursors

Abstract

Solid solutions of BiFeO3– PrCoO3system were synthesized by means of the solid-state reactions method using bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3and praseodymium cobaltite, PrCoO3 precursors. The temperature-time synthesis regimes of the precursors and the solid solutions were selected. The crystal lattices parameters of the solid solutions of Bi1–xPrxFe1–xСоxО3composition (x= 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1) were determined. The possible mechanisms of formation of the solid solutions from the precursors were proposed.
