Single-phase Bi0.95La0.05Fe1-xCoxO3 ceramics with x=0.0, 0.1, and 0.2 were synthesized.
The co-substitution altered the original magnetic structure of BiFeO3
Collinear magnetic ordering in co-doped BiFeO3 coexists with ferromagnetism at room temperature.
Small band gap of co-doped BiFeO3 may be useful for optoelectronic devices.
