Popis: This work presents the influence of La3+ and Sr2+ substitution at Bi-site of BiFeO3 in the sense of phase, crystal structure and dielectric properties. The Bi1-x (Lax-y Sry)FeO3 (x = 0.1, y = 0, 0.05) ceramics with perovskite structure were synthesized by standard solid state route. Phase analysis exploiting X–ray diffraction (XRD) data disclosed formation of single phased trigonal structure with R3c space group. The calculated lattice parameters for Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 ceramic were a = b = 5.5771 A and c = 13.8021 A and Bi0.9La0.05Sr0.05FeO3 ceramic were a = b = 5.5844 A and c = 13.8215 A which witness trigonal structure. The calculated average crystallite size for Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 and Bi0.9La0.05Sr0.05FeO3 ceramics were 47.39 nm and 31.20 nm respectively. The dielectric analysis reveals that both the ceramics to exhibit good dielectric behavior with high dielectric constant and lower tangential loss value. In addition, Cole-Cole plot (M′ vs. M′′) and Nyquist plot (Z′ vs Z′′) exposed the non-Debye behavior of the ceramics and distribution of different relaxation phenomena in the ceramics.
