Abstract

Effects of Ca-doped on single-phased multiferroic properties of polycrystalline Ba4 − 2xCa2xSm2Fe2Nb8O30 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) ceramics were fabricated via a conventional solid-state reaction method. All of the Ba4 − 2xCa2xSm2Fe2Nb8O30 (BCSFN) ceramics were filled tetragonal tungsten bronze crystal structures which produced dense microstructures. Comparing with Ba4Sm2Fe2Nb8O30 (x = 0), the dielectric constant of BCSFN ceramics was increased remarkably especially in the sample of x = 0.4 that the dielectric constant was above 103 above 100 °C. Meanwhile, due to grain boundary barriers were reduced and leakage current increased in the BCSFN ceramic, dielectric loss increased with increasing of Ca2+ content. For ferroelectric property, the maximum remanent polarization (Pr) of 6.67 µC/cm2 was observed for the x = 0.4. Moreover, in polarization–electric field (P–E) loops, the maximum average breakdown strength (Eb) was 199.60 kV/cm. Meanwhile, for magnetic property, the remnant polarization and maximum moments were 0.85 emu/g and 1.78 emu/g for x = 0.4. Therefore, Ca2+ modification could impact both ferroelectric and magnetic properties in the BSFN ceramics.
