•We investigated the structural and multiferroic properties of polycrystalline Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti1−yFeyO3 ceramics.•The X-ray diffraction showed that when y < 0.07 the Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti1–yFeyO3 ceramics possessed only tetragonal phase.•The tetragonal structure of the Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti0.93Fe0.07O3 ceramic was confirmed through HRTEM.•The room temperature multiferroic behaviors appeared in the Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti0.93Fe0.07O3 ceramic.•According to above results, we propose that Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti0.93Fe0.07O3 is a potential single phased multiferroic material.
We report on the structural, magnetic and ferroelectric properties of Fe doped Ba0.95Bi0.05TiO3 (Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti1−yFeyO3 (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.1)) ceramics prepared by solid state reaction. Rietveld analysis shows that compounds with y ≤ 0.07 have a single phase-tetragonal structure (space group P4mm), and the tetragonality (c/a) decreases as x increases. Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti0.93Fe0.07O3 ceramic shows ferromagnetic order with a Curie temperature of about 700 K and ferroelectric order at room temperature. These results indicate that the Ba0.95Bi0.05Ti0.93Fe0.07O3 can be useful as a multiferroic material.
