Title Bi2CoO2F4 – a polar, ferrimagnetic Aurivillius oxide-fluoride
Contributors
Abstract Aurivillius oxides have been a research focus due to their ferroelectric properties but by replacing oxide ions by fluoride, divalent magnetic cations can be introduced giving Bi2MO2F4 (M = Fe, Co, Ni). Our combined experimental and computational study on Bi2CoO2F4 indicates a low-temperature polar structure of P21ab symmetry (analogous to ferroelectric Bi2WO6) and a ferrimagnetic ground state. These results highlight the potential of Aurivillius oxide-fluorides for multiferroic properties. Our research has also revealed some challenges associated with the reduced tendency for polar displacements in the more ionic fluoride-based systems.
