LID - 10.1088/1361-648X/aba1aa [doi] AB - We report on the structure, spin-lattice and magneto-electric coupling in (1-x)Pb(Fe(2/3)W(1/3))O(3)-(x)BiFeO(3)(wherex= 0.1 and 0.4) (PBFW) solid solution synthesized through two-step solid-state reaction method. The room temperature (RT) crystallographic studies were carried out using x-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction measurements which show a single-phasePseudocubiccrystal system withPm-3mspace group. Rietveld refinement was carried out to obtain the structural parameters usingFullprofsoftware and the observed structural parameters are in good agreement with the previous reports. Temperature-dependent neutron diffraction measurements reveal the presence of commensurate G-type antiferromagnetic structure. The magnetic structure was analyzed using the propagation wave vectork approximately ((1/2) (1/2) (1/2)) for both the solid solutions. The obtained lattice constants increase linearly and the magnetic moment decrease with temperature, which shows a remarkable anomaly around the magnetic (T(N) approximately 405 K forx= 0.1 and 531 K forx= 0.4) transition temperatures. This anomaly clearly indicates the existence of spin-lattice and magnetoelectric coupling. The magnetic susceptibility (ZFC and FC at 500 Oe) andM-Hhysteresis loop measurements show spontaneous magnetic moment due to the Fe(3+)-O(2-)-Fe(3+)superexchange interaction coexisting with the weak ferromagnetism. Bifurcation of ZFC and FC curve reveals the strong anisotropic nature. Astonishingly, magnetic measurements show the non-zero magnetic moment aboveT(N)and broadening of the magnetic transition indicates the presence of short-range uncompensated sublattice weak ferromagnetic clusters in the paramagnetic region. The Mossbauer spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance studies exhibit the RT magnetically ordered system and confirm the +3 state of Fe along with the fraction of Fe(2+)ions.
