Abstract
Abstract In this paper, the effect of Zn and Ti co-doping on the structure, dielectric, ferroelectric and magnetic properties of BiFeO3 (BFO) ceramics have been studied. Co-doped BFO ceramics with different doping concentrations are prepared by using the sol-gel method. The structure, morphology and electrical properties of co-doped BFO ceramics are studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, impedance analyzer and ferroelectric test analysis system. Furthermore, the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) is used to investigate the magnetic properties. The structural transition from rhombohedral to tetragonal-like phase is observed with a high level of co-doping (x = 2.5%). In addition, higher content of Zn and Ti results in enhanced dielectric constant (e) and reduced dielectric loss (tanδ). The highest remnant polarization of 0.4 μC/cm2 and coercive electric field of 15.5 kV/cm is demonstrated at x = 2.5%. The enhanced dielectric and ferroelectric properties can be attributed to the formation of defect complexes due to the Zn and Ti substitution.
