The influence of oxygen contents on the structure, electric and magnetic Received in revised form properties of BiFeO3 compound has been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements indicate 29 February 2016 that all the samples of BiFeOδ have the same crystal structure regardless of oxygen content. The SEM Accepted 4 March 2016 Available online 4 March 2016 micrograph reveals microstructures comprising of grains with various sizes from 200 nm to 1 mm. XPS study confirms the coexistence of Fe3 þ and Fe2 þ ions in BiFeOδ compound. The M(H) curves exhibit Keywords: weak ferromagnetic behavior with unsaturated magnetization at room temperature, independent of the BiFeO3 oxygen content. The M(T) curves
