La2Bi7Fe5Ti3O27: Structural, electrical and magnetic properties

Abstract: Ferroelectromagnetic, La2Bi7Fe5Ti3O27 compound was synthesized using a solid-state reaction technique. Basic crystal data of the compound were obtained by XRD. Detailed studies of electrical properties (i.e., dielectric and impedance) of the material carried out in wide frequency (102 to 106 Hz) and temperatures (30 to 500°C) ranges showed that these properties are strongly dependent on frequency and temperature. Magnetic measurements of the material provided a remanent magnetization of 0.011emu/g at room temperature. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
