文摘

Bi_0.9Pr_0.1FeO₃ (BPF), BiFe_0.9Ti_0.1O₃ (BFT), Bi_0.9Pr_0.1Fe_0.9Ti_0.1O₃ (BPFT-10), and Bi_0.9Pr_0.1Fe_0.95Ti_0.05O₃ (BPFT-5) ceramics are prepared for a comparison study. X-ray diffraction indicates that all of the samples crystallize in rhombohedral structures with R3c symmetry. The Pr and Ti co-doped samples show an especially low dielectric loss of 0.02–0.04 throughout the entire investigated frequency range. A markedly improved polarization hysteresis loop is successfully achieved for samples BPFT-10 and BPFT-5, and their remnant polarization P_r values are 0.11 and 0.29 μC/cm², respectively. Magnetic measurements indicate that the substitution of Ti⁴⁺ for Fe³⁺ improves the ferromagnetic properties due to the suppression of the spiral spin structure. A remnant magnetization M_r of 0.176 emu/g was observed for BPFT-10 at 5 K.
