Aurivillus intergrowth Bi4Ti3O12-5BiFeO(3) was demonstrated to be ferroelectric that evoked the possibility of achieving high temperature magnetoelectric property in this family of compounds. X-ray diffraction studies confirmed its structure to be orthorhombic [Fmm2; a=5.5061(11) A degrees, b=5.4857(7) A degrees, c=65.742(12) A degrees]. However, transmission electron microscopy established the random incidence of intergrowth at nanoscale corresponding to n=6 and n=7 members of the Aurivillius family. Diffuse ferroelectric orthorhombic to paraelectric tetragonal phase transition around 857 K was confirmed by dielectric and high temperature x-ray diffraction studies. Polarization versus electric field hysteresis loops associated with 2P(r) of 5.2 mu C/cm(2) and coercive field of 42 kV/cm were obtained at 300 K.
