Abstract

The structural, multiferroic, dielectric, and magneto-dielectric (MD) properties of Aurivillius Bi7Fe2CrTi3O21 ceramic are investigated in detail. The sample shows a dominant antiferromagnetic state with the existence of weak ferromagnetic ordering. The saturation magnetization Ms and remnant polarization Pr are 2.85emu/g and 4.1μC/cm2, respectively. The results of dielectric, electrical modulus, impedance and scaling behavior indicate that the dielectric relaxation is induced by the localized hopping process of electrons. In addition, the MD property in low frequency range can be ascribed to the extrinsic effect stemming from grain boundary relaxation, whereas the MD property in high frequency region can be attributed to the intrinsic effect arising from grain relaxation. More importantly, a relatively large intrinsic magneto-dielectric constant of −1.27% can be achieved at 1MHz and 300K. These results imply that Cr-doped Aurivillius compounds may be the potential candidates for MD applications.
