摘要

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is a promising candidate for magnetoelectric spin–orbit (MESO) devices due to its intriguing magnetoelectric properties. This study employs spin-polarized DFT + U calculations to enhance the magnetoelectric response of co-doped BiFeO3 (Bi1-αLaαFe1-βXβO3, where X = Co, Ni, Mn, or Ti) in the hexagonal phase for spintronic random-access memory (RAM) applications. The results indicate that all co-doped systems exhibit 100% spin polarization, identifying them as excellent candidates for data transfer. Among the investigated dopants, LaTi co-doping yielded the lowest magnetization (0.93 MA/m) and a reduced magnetoelectric coupling coefficient (α = 1.95 × 10−9 s/m), corresponding to a lower magnetoelectric force of 0.195 mT. In contrast, LaMn co-doping demonstrated the highest structural stability, with a Gibbs free energy of −1.78 × 105 eV and a total magnetic moment of 9.71  \({\mu }_{B}\) μ B . This system also exhibited a magnetization of 2.40 MA/m and a significantly enhanced magnetoelectric effect, with a coupling coefficient of α = 5.03 × 10−9 s/m and a higher magnetoelectric force of 0.503 mT, making it particularly suitable for data transfer in spintronic RAM.
