Abstract:
The nature of the contribution (additional to the phonon one) to the permittivity of bismuth ferrite ceramics has been studied using submillimeter and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It has been shown that its numerical value depends on morphological features of samples, and the nature is determined by the defectness and crystallite interfaces. The effect of structure-phase features of bismuth ferrite ceramics on antiferromagnetic resonance line frequencies is indicated.
