Abstract

Multiferroic materials of BiFeO3–BaTiO3 solid solution have been fabricated in order to improve ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties. The effects of La (1 mol%) and K (varied from 0.5–5 mol%) doped 0.75BiFeO3–0.25BaTiO3 on phase formation, ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties have been investigated and discussed. The rhombohedral perovskite phase of specimens was characterized by XRD technique. Fracture morphology reveals the grain growth characteristics with increasing K content. (La, K)-doped 0.75BiFeO3–0.25BaTiO3 with La=1 mol% and K=3 mol% exhibits the highest remnant polarization and remnant magnetization.
