Abstract

Multiferroic ceramics of 0.675BiFe1−x Cr x O3–0.325PbTiO3 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05) were prepared and comparatively investigated. The rhombohedral–tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) was formed in 0.675BiFeO3–0.325PbTiO3. The B-site Cr-substitution changes the structure from MPB to rhombohedral phase gradually, accompanied with monotonously decreased ferroelectric Curie temperature and average grain size. More interestingly, Such Cr-substitution enhances room temperature ferroelectric and magnetic properties simultaneously. The underlying mechanism is mainly attributed to the substitution enhanced local Fe3+–Cr3+ magnetic interaction and the suppressed oxygen vacancy effect. We believe these results are helpful supplements for optimizing structures and room temperature multiferroic properties of BiFeO3-based materials.
