摘要
Insulated Bi1-xSmxFeO3 (x = 0-0.25) were prepared to study their multiferroic properties at various temperatures. Bi1-xSmxFeO3 (x = 0-0.12) shows a rhombohedral-like phase, ferroelectric polarization of >17.8 mu C/cm(2), piezoelectric d(33) value of >35 pC/N at room temperature. Bi1-xSmxFeO3 (x = 0.125-0.2) has a ferroelectric triclinic phase and an anti-polar orthorhombic phase together at room temperature, and Bi0.75Sm0.25FeO3 is mainly composed of a non-polar orthorhombic phase. After the polarized Bi1-xSmxFeO3 (x = 0-0.165) was annealed at various high temperatures, the d(33) evolution supports ferroelectric component exist above 500 degrees C. Raman spectra suggests that the main component of Bi0.875SM0.125FeO3 does not keep a rhombohedral ferroelectric phase above 400 degrees C, thus its ferroelectric traits at high temperature should be due to ferroelectric clusters embedded in orthorhombic phase.
