X-ray diffraction patterns show that the samples have four-layer Aurivillius phases. At room temperature （RT）, the samples each present a remarkable coexistence of ferromagnetism （FM） and ferroelectricity （FE）. The remnant polarization （2Pr） reaches its greatest value of 14 gC/cm2 at x = 0.6. Remnant magnetization （2Mr） first increases and then decreases, and the greatest 2Mr is 7.8 menu/g when x = 0.5. The magnetic properties for x = 0.4 are similar to those for x = 0.6, indicating that the magnetic properties originate mainly from the coupling between Fe3＋ and Co3＋ ions, rather than from their own magnetic moments.展开更多
