Multiferroic solid solutions of (Pb0.8Sm0.2)(Ti0.8Fe0.2)O3 are synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction. Microstructure property relationship has been studied and it is shown that the multiferroic properties in the sample are dependent on sintering temperature. The sample sintered at 1200 °C exhibits optimal properties and shows enhanced magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature. For the sample sintered at 1200 °C, large remnant polarization (Pr∼20 μC/cm2) and positive remnant magnetization (Mr∼0.021 emu/g) were observed at room temperature.
