Title: Structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties of solid solutions between BiMnO{sub 3} and YMnO{sub 3}

Abstract

Bi{sub 1−x}Y{sub x}MnO{sub 3} (0.1≤x≤0.9) solid solutions were prepared by the high-pressure high-temperature method at 6 GPa and 1573 K. They crystallize in the GdFeO{sub 3}-type perovskite structure with the Pnma symmetry. Crystal structures of Bi{sub 0.9}Y{sub 0.1}MnO{sub 3} and Bi{sub 0.5}Y{sub 0.5}MnO{sub 3} are studied by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction at room temperature. Only one Néel temperature, T{sub N}, is found in samples with 0.1≤x≤0.9 in comparison with two Néel temperatures observed in YMnO{sub 3} (T{sub N}=29 and 39 K). Samples with 0.5≤x≤0.9 have almost constant T{sub N}=44 K, while T{sub N} starts to increase linearly for other compositions: T{sub N}=46 K for x=0.3, T{sub N}=58 K for x=0.2, and T{sub N}=68 K for x=0.1. Field-induced transitions from canted-antiferromagnetic states to antiferromagnetic states are detected at about 30 kOe for x=0.2 and 70 kOe for x=0.1. Dielectric constant increases below T{sub N} in samples with 0.5≤x≤1, while it decreases below T{sub N} in samples with 0.1≤x≤0.3. Our data suggest that a magnetic structure changes near x=0.4. By extrapolation, we could estimate lattice parameters (a=5.9221 Å, b=7.5738 Å, and c=5.4157 Å) and T{sub N}=79 K for a hypothetical Pnma modification of BiMnO{sub 3}. - Graphical abstract: Bi{sub 1−x}Y{sub x}MnO{sub 3}more » solid solutions were prepared in the whole compositional range by the high-pressure method.
