Abstract
The importance of using divalent ion doped BiFeO3 ceramics in-place of pure BiFeO3 informing solid solutions with other ferroelectric materials is emphasized. The phase stability for the (1-y)Bi0.90Ca0.10FeO3-(y)PbTiO3 system in the complete composition range show occurrence of interesting structure modulations. The changes in the crystal unit cell also seem to have significant effects on the microscopic structure. The SEM studies indicate the formation of more than one type of grains in the system. Such coexistence of one type of grains is found to show relaxor type characteristics both in dielectric and magnetic properties. Suitable models are used to explain the origin of the observed bi-relaxor type characteristics. The low temperature ac-magnetic studies suggest stabilization of a predominant spin-glass type characteristics in samples with 0.30 < y < 0.50.
