摘要：
Six types of BiFeO3 ceramic samples, with subtle differences in synthesis conditions, were prepared. The comparison of their phases, electrical resistivity, and porosity revealed that the use Of Bi2O3 and Fe2O3 powders of < 1 mu m size and a rapid liquid-phase sintering process of 855 degrees C for 5 min at 100 degrees C/s is beneficial to synthesize poreless single-phase BiFeO3 samples with high electrical resistivity of similar to 5 x 10(12) Omega cm. Deoxygenated BixFeyO1.5x+1.5y-delta (x not equal y, delta >= 0) impurities were identified and found to be the main cause of low electrical resistivity and high porosity in the multi-phase samples. Large saturation polarization of 16.6 mu C/cm(2) and low leakage current density of 30 mA/m(2), both at a high electric field of 145 kV/cm, were measured in the optimized single-phase samples at room temperature besides a large piezoelectric d(33) coefficient of 27 pC/N and an obvious canted antiferromagnetic behavior.
