Dielectric Properties of some Aurivillius Phases in the Bi4Ti3O12 – BiFeO3 System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several compounds with Aurivillius-type structure in the Bi4Ti3O12-BiFeO3 system with the general formula Bim+1Fem–3Ti3O3m+3 showing multiferroic properties arouse an increasing interest due to their wide potential applications in electronics. The powders composed of the Aurivillius phase with m=5, 7 and 9 were successfully prepared by the co-precipitation-calcination route. The powders were ground and sintered, obtaining dense polycrystalline materials. The dielectric properties of the sintered materials were studied over a wide range of temperature and frequencies. A strong softening of the magnetic properties took place at 410°C, which stayed in good correlation with the recorded changes of the tan δ asymmetry and fact that it did not induce any anomaly of the Curie temperature at 670°C, where phase transition of the ferroelectric properties was determined.
