Abstract

Ordered BiFeO3 (BFO) and BiFe0.95Co 0.05O3 (BFC) nanotubes arrays were successfully synthesized by a sol-gel anodic aluminum oxide template method. Both kinds of nanotubes had straight and smooth profiles with diameters of about 200 nm and wall thicknesses of about 20 nm. A perovskite-type structure of BFO was confirmed in these nanotubes by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The dielectric properties of these nanotube arrays were measured and larger permittivity was obtained for the BFC nanotubes via adopting a columnar composite structure model. Ferromagnetic measurement showed enhanced ferromagnetism for the sample with Co2+ doping. These improvements in dielectric constant and ferromagnetism of the nanotubes by Co2+ doping may be mainly attributed, respectively, to the lattice distortion and the breakage of the spin cycloid period of the BFC nanotubes.
