Abstract

Abstract Rapid liquid-phase sintering method has been modified and used to synthesize Bi 1- x La x FeO 3- δ compositions (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5). The temperature and sintering procedures to obtain stable single-phase samples have been defined. This provides a significant reduction in the synthesis time, which is especially important for mass production. Furthermore, giant dielectric constants have been observed in Bi 1- x La x FeO 3- δ compositions, the values of which are one order of magnitude larger than those of similar Bi-based multiferroics obtained by conventional methods. It potentially makes them one of the most promising materials for modern technological applications.
