X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns reveal a gradual formation of the orthorhombic phase and Bi14CrO24 impurity with increasing chromium concentration. The Riet- veld refinement and Raman scattering analysis confirm the structural transformation from the polar R3c to the anti-polar Pnam phases. The Cole-Cole plots show two relaxation regimes which are attributed to gain and grain boundary responses above room temperature. The slim magnetic hysteresis loops are observed in samples with x 1⁄4 0.02e0.08, while a robust loop with the coercivity field of Hc z 1200 Oe is observed for x 1⁄4 0.1 sample where the canted antiferromagnetic phase is significantly contributed to the total magnetization. This result approves that the cycloidal spin structure cannot be suppressed by Cr doping. date: 2020 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://eprints.uet.vnu.edu.vn/eprints/id/eprint/3631/1/2019JAL813_Structural%20transition%20electrical%20and%20magnetic%20properties%20of%20Cr%20doped%20BiSMFeO.pdf identifier: Ho, Thi Anh and P.T., Phong and N.H., Thoan and Nguyen, Thi Minh Hong and N.V., Hao and L.T., Ha and T.N., Bach and T.D., Thanh and C.T.A., Xuan and N.V., Quang and N.V., Dang and P.T., Tho (2020) Structural transition, electrical and magnetic properties of Cr doped Bi0.9Sm0.1FeO3 multiferroics.
