The analyzes of X-ray diffraction patterns and Raman scattering spectra indicated their single phase in the M-type hexaferrite structure. With increasing x, the lattice constant a slightly increased while c decreased, which related to the Jahn-Teller effect. Though an increase of x reduced gradually magnetization in a range of 23?32 emu/g, the coercive force increased from 3.3 kOe for x = 0 to about 4 kOe for x = 0.5?2. The study of the electrical polarization properties proved the dependence of the shape of electric hysteresis loops on x and applied electric field. The samples with x = 0 and 0.5 exhibit a weak ferroelectricity with the maximum polarization of ~0.11 ?C/cm2 for x = 0, and of ~0.06 ?C/cm2 for x = 0.5. Meanwhile, the other samples showed nearly circular hysteresis loops, which are characteristic of conductive materials. Detailed investigations indicated an increase in leakage current when x increased. All of such phenomena are tightly related to the chemical shift of Mn2+ ? Mn3+ and the replacement of Mn2+,3+ for Fe3+ in BaYFe12?xMnxO19. These oxidation states and the chemical shift of Mn have been confirmed upon analyzing X-ray absorption spectra PB - Elsevier B.V JF - Journal of Alloys and Compounds VL - 867 SN - 0925-8388 TI - Electronic structure and multiferroic properties of (Y, Mn)-doped barium hexaferrite compounds AV - restricted ER -
