Popis: The dielectric and acoustic properties of (1 − x)SrTiO3-xBiFeO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.04) solid solutions have been studied in the temperature range 10–300 K. The polar state exhibiting permittivity dispersion and dielectric hysteresis loops has been revealed at temperatures of 40–100 K. At 20–40 K, we have observed one more dielectric relaxation, which is not associated with the polar state and vanishes at a concentration of the second solid-solution component x = 0.04. The antiferrodistorsive transition has been found to vary with increasing concentration x. At temperatures below the antiferrodistorsive transition point, the polar (relaxor) state has been shown to persist in all the measured solid solutions.
