Bismuth Ferrites (BiFeO3) popularly known as BFO, based nanomaterials have a potential application at room temperature in present-day material studies due to their ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. These peculiar properties are the result of structural perturbations. With the introduction of doped and co-doped forms of pure BFO, researchers were able to observe a huge diversity in the structural and ferroic properties. Using a solid-state method, doped and co-doped BFO are synthesized in this study, and XRD and FE-SEM are used to characterize their structural and morphological characteristics. Similarly, Pure, doped, and co-doped BFO structures were simulated, and their respective energy bands and density states were studied.
