Abstract
- Ca 3 (Ti 1- x Co x) 2 O 7 ceramics were prepared by a tartaric acid sol-gel method and sintered in an oxygen atmosphere. The introduction of Co2+/Co3+ as acceptor dopants leads to the formation of more oxygen vacancies and defect dipoles in Ca 3 (Ti 1- x Co x) 2 O 7 ceramics. Oxygen vacancy and defect dipoles lead to the transition of dielectric, leakage, and ferroelectric behaviors of Ca 3 (Ti 1- x Co x) 2 O 7 ceramics. The coexistence of hybrid improper ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism at room temperature in Ca 3 (Ti 1- x Co x) 2 O 7 ceramics has been successfully realized through the superexchange interaction of Co–O–Co. Ca 3 (Ti 1- x Co x) 2 O 7 ceramics exhibit superior ferroelectricity (the remnant polarization is 3.29 μC/cm2) and enhanced ferromagnetism (the remnant magnetization reaches 6.4×10−3 emu/g). This strategy based on the introduction of transition metal ions with unfilled 3d shells at B sites is an important approach to realize novel room-temperature single-phase multiferroic materials for Ca 3 Ti 2 O 7 -based materials.
