Abstract

The structure, magnetic properties and charge state of Al/Bi-substituted YMn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> were investigated. The Y(Mn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>)<subscript>0.95</subscript>Al<subscript>0.05</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> and Y<subscript>0.95</subscript>Bi<subscript>0.05</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> solid solutions all exhibited the hexagonal P6<subscript>3</subscript>cm space group, similar to YMnO<subscript>3</subscript>. The magnetic structures of Al-substituted YMn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> were not uniform, and were predominantly antiferromagnetic with weak ferromagnetic properties at low temperatures. The ratios Mn<superscript>2+</superscript>:Mn<superscript>3+</superscript> and Fe<superscript>2+</superscript>:Fe<superscript>3+</superscript> noticeably decreased upon Al substitution in YMn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, and the magnetic transition temperature was reduced dramatically. The cluster glass state behavior observed in Y(Mn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>)<subscript>0.95</subscript>Al<subscript>0.05</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> was absent in the case of Y<subscript>0.95</subscript>Bi<subscript>0.05</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, which indicated weakened ferromagnetic interactions in the latter. This may be related to the decreased oxygen content in Y<subscript>0.95</subscript>Bi<subscript>0.05</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>. Bismuth substitution can strengthen the antiferromagnetic interactions in YMn<subscript>0.8</subscript>Fe<subscript>0.2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
