Abstract: In this work, (1- x)Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 - x AlMnO 3 (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 mol.%) materials were synthesized using a sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering analyses confirmed the successful incorporation of AlMnO 3 into the Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 lattice. The results demonstrated a random substitution of Al and Mn cations, leading to lattice distortions and modifications in vibrational properties. Optical studies revealed a reduction in the band gap with increasing AlMnO 3 content, decreasing from 3.07 eV for pure Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 to 1.85 eV at 3 mol.% AlMnO 3. Additionally, magnetic measurements at room temperature uncovered complex magnetic behavior in AlMnO 3 -modified Bi0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3. While pure Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 exhibited weak ferromagnetism with dominant diamagnetic effects, the addition of AlMnO 3 enhanced ferromagnetic ordering. This enhancement is attributed to oxygen vacancy-mediated Mn magnetic coupling, as well as the emergence of Na vacancies and Ti3+/Ti2+ states. At higher AlMnO 3 concentrations, a combination of ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and antiferromagnetic-like behaviors was observed. These findings provide valuable insights into enhancing ferromagnetic properties of lead-free ferroelectric materials, paving the way for their use in advanced smart electronic devices.
