Abstract

The Mo-doped BiFe1−xMo x O3, where x =  0 and 0.6, samples were synthesised by the solid-state reaction method. Admirable ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties are expected on substituting solid solutions of bulk BFO with other oxide perovskite compounds. It offers an alternative and is an environment-friendly candidate for lead-free ferroelectric and piezoelectric devices. The prepared samples were investigated by XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), current density (JE) measurement, PE loop tracer and field emission scanning electron microscopy to examine their crystal structure, bonding nature, current density, ferroelectric hysteresis loop and surface morphology. The Mo-doped BFO shows a change in structure, increased grain size, reduction in current density and enhancement in the PE loop on doping Mo at the Fe site.
