Abstract
Structural, dielectric, magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of polycrystalline Sr doped BiFe0.8Ti0.2O3 ceramics [Bi1−xSrx(Fe0.8Ti0.2)O3; x = 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15)] were studied. All the samples were prepared by rapid liquid phase sintering method. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns of all samples confirmed that the samples crystallize in a rhombohedral structure and showed change in Fe–O–Fe bond angle and Fe–O bond length which in turn enhanced magnetization from 0.33 to 0.73 emu/g with the increase in Sr concentration from x = 0.05 to 0.15. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss were observed to increase with the increase in temperature from 30 to 500 °C. An anomalous peak has been observed in dielectric constant versus temperature plot around 300 °C for all the samples, which is close to the magnetic transition temperature of BiFeO3. The composition-dependent magnetic properties with the expected Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio fluctuations were correlated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Magnetic and electric hysteresis loops showed a systematic increase in magnetization and polarization as a result of Sr doping in BiFe0.8Ti0.2O3 ceramics. The value of magnetocapacitance at 10 kHz was observed as 0.95, 1.23 and 1.73 for x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 respectively in Bi1−xSrxFe0.80Ti0.20O3 ceramics.
