Abstract

In the present investigation, Sm-modified solid solutions of BiFeO3-BaTiO3 (BFO-BTO) have been synthesized using a solid-state reaction route. All ceramics sintered at 980 °C for 2 h possess a pure perovskite structure. XRD patterns show that the coexistence of rhombohedral and orthorhombic phases is found at x = 0.01–0.04. The average grain size increases with x up to 0.06. The ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and magneto-capacitance properties of the system are both effectively improved under Sm substitution. The hybridization strength between Bi 6sp and O 2p increases under Sm substitution, leading to the enhancement of the ferroelectric properties of the system. From Fe L2,3- edge spectra, the hybridization strength of O 2p with Fe 3d decreases, resulting in the improvement of magnetization under Sm substitution in BFO-BTO.
