Multiferroics exhibit unique combination of ferroic properties, simultaneously. For instance, in BiFeO 3 , magnetic and electric properties co-exist. In this work, BiFeO 3 and Sr-doped BiFeO 3 samples with general formula, Bi 1−x Sr x FeO 3 (x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30) were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion technique, in order to investigate these ferroic properties. The samples were confirmed to have perovskite type rhombohedral structure, characteristic of BiFeO 3 . A dilute phase of Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 was also found in all the Sr-doped samples. The micrographs of the palletized samples revealed that minutely doped Sr might not have any effect on the morphology of the samples. Frequency dependent dielectric measurements were carried out at room temperature for all the samples from 100Hz to 1MHz. The dielectric constant of un-doped sample at low frequency was 52 which decreased with increasing Sr doping. An enhancement of magnetic properties was observed with increasing the Sr contents. Pure BiFeO 3 material was observed to have the least value of remanent magnetization. As the Sr 2+ ions were doped in BiFeO 3 , its magnetization and remanence were increased to 0.867emu/g and 0.175emu/g, respectively, at x=0.30.
