Abstract

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Bi1 − x A x FeO3 − x/2 (A = Ca, Sr, Pb, Ba), Bi1 − x A x (Fe1 − x Ti x )O3, and Bi1 − x A x (Fe1 − x/2Nb x/2)O3 solid solutions have been studied. It is shown that the homogeneous polar weak ferromagnetic state occurs in the vicinity of a morphotropic phase boundary in the systems where dopant ions lead to the reduction of the unit cell volume in the polar phase. In the case of A = Ca, the non-polar phase also exhibits weak ferromagnetism and the spontaneous magnetizations in the polar and nonpolar phases differ only slightly.
