An investigation of the structural and magnetic properties of Ho substituted BiFeO3

The doping of BiFeO3 with lanthanide elements like Ho, with a radius smaller than Bi, is ideal to improve the ferroelectric and magnetic properties of BiFeO3, which in principle can cause structural distortions of the lattice that improve the electrical and magnetic properties. In this work, we repo...
