Project Duration: 2 years

Budget approved: 10,00,000/-

 

Expected Research Outcomes:

  • Synthesized pure and co-doped BFO nanoparticles may reveal the high purity and uniformly distributed nanoparticles.
  • The Rietveld refinement analysis may divulge the rhombohedral crystal structure with the R3c space group. The crystallite size may decrease with increasing dopants concentration.
  • FESEM may shows the particle sizes are in a spherical shape and average particle size increase remarkably with increasing annealing temperature.
  • A significant variation of saturation magnetization may show with increasing dopants concentration and temperature variations.
  • Electrical properties of BFO nanoparticles at different surface temperatures and dopants concentration may reveal substantial changes.
