The structural, dielectric, and ferroelectric characterization of multiphase Bi-Fe-O prepared with an excess of Bi up to 20% is reported. It is found that the dominant phase in all samples is the BiFeO3 perovskite in addition to an increasing amount of the Bi-rich sillenite phases (Bi12.5Fe0.5O19.48/Bi25FeO39) with the Bi excess content. At room temperature, the multiphase Bi-Fe-O results in advanced electrical properties, with higher dielectric constant (161 at 1 MHz) and low losses (tan delta = 0.032 at 1 MHz). The ferroelectric character of multiphase ceramics is confirmed by PUND measurements, which shows increased polarization values and coercive field with respect to the single phase ceramics.

Abstract
The structural, dielectric, and ferroelectric characterization of multiphase Bi-Fe-O prepared with an excess of Bi up to 20% is reported. It is found that the dominant phase in all samples is the BiFeO3 perovskite in addition to an increasing amount of the Bi-rich sillenite phases (Bi12.5Fe0.5O19.48/Bi25FeO39) with the Bi excess content. At room temperature, the multiphase Bi-Fe-O results in advanced electrical properties, with higher dielectric constant (161 at 1 MHz) and low losses (tan delta = 0.032 at 1 MHz). The ferroelectric character of multiphase ceramics is confirmed by PUND measurements, which shows increased polarization values and coercive field with respect to the single phase ceramics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
