Abstract

Single-phase samples of Bi(Fe1-x,Crx)O3 with =x, 0.1, and 0.2 were synthesized by a combustion method. X-ray diffraction reveals that the lattice parameters of Bi(Fe1-x,Cr x)O3 perovskites decrease linearly with the Cr content, indicating that Cr ions substitute for Fe ions to form a solid solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation shows that Cr ions have the Cr 3+ valence state in Bi(Fe1-xCrx)O3. The frequency dependence of dielectric constants was investigated at room temperature. Magnetic measurements show hysteresis loops at both 5 and 300 K and the substitution of Cr for Fe enhances the magnetization.
