Abstract
Bi1−xSrxMn0.2Fe0.8O3 ceramics have been prepared by sol–gel process, and their physical properties have been studied. These samples exhibit enhanced ferromagnetization without disturbing their ferroelectric properties. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results reveal the origin of spontaneous magnetization in these samples. Adding Sr2+ ions to BiMn0.2Fe0.8O3 system requires charge compensation, which can be achieved by formation of Mn4+. The statistical distribution of Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions in the octahedral leads to net magnetization and ferromagnetism.
