We report magnetic and magnetoelectric studies on BiFeO3 and divalent cation (A) suvtitute Bi0.7A0.3FeO3 (A = Sr,Ba, and Sr0.5Ba0.5). It is shown that the rapid increase of magnetization at the Neel temperature (TN = 642 K) is suppressed in the co-doped compound A = Sr0.5Ba0.5. All the divalent subtituted compounds show enhanced magnetization and hysteresis loop. Both longitudinal and transverse magnetoelectric coefficients were measured using the dynamical lock-in technique. The co-doped compound shows the highest magnetoelectric coefficient at room temperature although it is not the compound with the highest saturation magnetization. It is found that as the size of the A-site cation increses, the transverse magnetoelectric coeffient increases and exceeds the longitudinal magnetoelectric coefficient. It is suggested that changes in magnetic domain structure and magnetostriction are possible reasons for the observed changes in the magnetoelectric coefficients.
