Abstract

Bi0.8Gd0.2Fe1−xTixO3 (BGFTOx = 0,0.03,0.05) multiferroic nanoceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering method. X-ray diffraction suggested the existence of tri-phase structures (Pnma, R3c, and Pn21a) in BGFTOx = 0.03,0.05 nanoceramics, and the effect of structure on the physical properties was investigated. BGFTOx = 0,0.03,0.05 nanoceramics exhibited typical relaxor ferroelectric behavior, and the transition temperature (Tm) was increased with the concentration of Ti4+. The impedance spectrum and ac conductivity of BGFTOx = 0.03,0.05 nanoceramics at different temperatures were investigated, and the results showed that BGFTOx = 0.05 nanoceramics possessed the lowest concentration of defects. Moreover, a weak ferromagnetic property was exhibited in BGFTOx = 0.05, and the reasons were discussed.
