The un-doped and gallium (Ga) doped multiferroic bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) compounds were successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal technique. This is then followed by a series of detailed investigations into the influence of Ga doping on the structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of BiFe1_xGaxO3 (0 <= x <= 0.15). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses reveal that B-site doping of Ga may lead to the transformation of its crystal structure from a rhombohedral with a space group of R3c to an orthorhombic with a space group of Pbnm phase. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show that doping with Ga causes a significant reduction in particle size, when compared to un-doped BiFeO3. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra have also shown that as the substitution of Ga increases, the Fe K and Bi L-III-edge absorption spectra shift towards higher energy site. It also implies that doping of Ga affects the local structures of both Bi and Fe atoms. Distinct transmission band fluctuations, as shown by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, can provide significant evidence for a transformation in crystal structure, following the increase of Ga concentration. The magnetization hysteresis measurements show that the magnetization decreases when Ga content is x >= 0.05. Such a phenomenon mainly stems from the substitution of Fe for an excessive amount of Ga, resulting in reduction of both valence fluctuations and the magnetization in the BiFe1_xGaxO3 system.
