Popis: Multiferroic ceramics based on BiFeO 3 and Sr-doped BiFeO 3 have been processed by high energetic milling and later thermal treatments at reduced temperatures to synthesize the perovskite structure. Single phase materials are obtained at 800 °C, reducing the temperature needed to complete the reaction in solid state method. Ceramics with densities higher than 94% were obtained at 1000 °C, and up to 98% at 1050 °C. All the ceramics were obtained in a single thermal treatment, where synthesis, grain growth and densification take place. The addition of Sr stabilizes the BiFeO 3 perovskite structure, avoiding its decomposition. Ceramics with higher dielectric permittivity and conductivity than non-doped materials are obtained, due to the increase of the amount of oxygen vacancies. It is shown for the first time that the grain boundary conductivity is increased in BiFeO 3 by doping with Sr.
