Structural studies on multiferroic La1-xBixCrO3 perovskites

  • 1. UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research, Indore (India)

Description

The synthesis and structural studies on the polycrystalline La1-xBixCrO3 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35) have been done using XRD and TEM. The results of the Reitveld refinement of XRD data shows that these compounds crystallize in an orthorhombic structure with Pnma space group. With increasing Bi content, the unit cell volume and lattice parameters undergo non monotonous changes within the tolerance factor from 0.84092 to 0.84072. This has been attributed to the anisotropy induced by lone pair of Bi3+, which may distorted the lattice. (author)
