Abstract

Polycrystalline bulk samples of BaSn1−xCrxO3 with different Cr concentrations were prepared by standard solid state reaction method. The effects of Cr concentration on crystal structure of BaSn1−xCrxO3, as well as optical and magnetic properties were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that each of these samples possess a perovskite structure with \( Pm\bar{3}m \) space group. The Cr ions are located at the substitution Sn sites as revealed by the XRD, Diffuse reflectance spectra and Raman spectra. Moreover, it is found that room-temperature ferromagnetism (FM) can be reversed by annealing in the nitrogen atmosphere. This can be well explained by a modified model of F-center mediated FM.
