The CoFe2O4(CFO)/Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12(BNdT) composite ceramics with coherent-lattice interfaces were prepared to keep good ferroelectricity. The coherent-lattice interfaces exhibit (020)BNdT//(130)CFO orientation, as a result of a very small lattice mismatch. Raman spectra indicate symmetry breaking of CFO phase with the forbidden A1g mode (~ 684 cm− 1) leading to new modes around 727 and 734 cm− 1, suggesting that coherent interfaces have superlattice-like characteristics. The electric breakdown field increases to 400 kV/cm for the 30 mol% CFO ceramic comparing with 250 kV/cm for the pure BNdT. Partly enhanced ferroelectric polarization, as measured by hysteresis loops, is observed likely helped by this superlattice-like bonding.
