摘要: The 0.6(Bi1-xLax)FeO3-0.4SrTiO3 (x=0, 0.1) multiferroic ceramics are prepared by a modified Pechini method to study the effect of substitution of SrTiO3 and La in BiFeO3. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirm the single phase characteristics of all the compositions each with a rhombohedral structure. The magnetic properties of the ceramics are significantly improved by a solid solution with SrTiO3 and substitution of La. The values of the dielectric constant εr and loss tangent tan δ of all the samples decrease with increasing frequency and become constant at room temperature. The La-doped 0.6BiFeO3-0.4SrTiO3 ceramics exhibit improved dielectric and ferroelectric properties, with higher dielectric constant enhanced remnant polarization (Pr) and lower leakage current at room temperature. Compared with a anti-ferromagnetic BiFeO3 compound, the 0.6(Bi0.9La0.1)FeO3-0.4SrTiO3 sample shows the optimal ferromagnetism with remnant magnetization Mr~0.135 emμ/g and ferroelectricity with Pr~5.94 μC/cm2 at room temperature.
