Graphical abstract: In Bi{sub 0.9}Ba{sub 0.1}Fe{sub 0.9}Ti{sub 0.1}O{sub 3} solid solution, both magnetic ions (Co{sup 3+}, Mn{sup 3+}) and nonmagnetic ions (Sc{sup 3+}, Al{sup 3+}) were chosen to partially replace Fe{sup 3+}. Their magnetic properties were carefully investigated. Figures show M-H loops at RT of Co{sup 3+} doped sample (left) and Sc{sup 3+} substituted solid solution (right). Highlights: {yields} The electrical resistivity of BiFeO{sub 3} is enhanced by forming solid solution with BaTiO{sub 3}. {yields} We replace Fe{sup 3+} by both magnetic ions Co{sup 3+}, Mn{sup 4+} and nonmagnetic ions Sc{sup 3+}, Al{sup 3+} to investigate the magnetic properties. {yields} Structure-magnetic property relationship has been established by Rietveld refinement. -- Abstract: Solid solutions with general formula Bi{sub 0.9}Ba{sub 0.1}Fe{sub 0.81}M{sub 0.09}Ti{sub 0.1}O{sub 3} (M = Co, Mn, Sc, Al) together with parental Bi{sub 0.9}Ba{sub 0.1}Fe{sub 0.9}Ti{sub 0.1}O{sub 3} were prepared by the traditional solid state reaction method. Their structural, room temperature magnetic, and dielectric properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that all samples maintained original R3c space group. M-H hysteresis loop of Co{sup 3+} doped sample saturated at an applied field of 1 T with spontaneous magnetization of 1.735 emu/g, while Mn{sup 4+} substitution enhanced the magnetization of Bi{sub 0.9}Ba{sub 0.1}Fe{sub 0.9}Ti{sub 0.1}O{sub 3} less strongly; addition of Sc{sup 3+} helped decrease magnetic coercive field while Al{sup 3+} modified sample exhibited paramagnetic M-H hysteresis loop. Differential scanning calorimetry was applied to determine the Neel temperature (T{sub N}) and the T{sub N} for undoped, Co{sup 3+}, Mn{sup 4+}, Sc{sup 3+}, Al{sup 3+} doped solid solutions were 318.1, 324.3, 335.7, 293.9 and 295.8 respectively. Sc{sup 3+} substitution had little influence on the dielectric properties of Bi{sub 0.9}Ba{sub 0.1}Fe{sub 0.9}Ti{sub 0.1}O{sub 3} while Al{sup 3+} doping improved its dielectric constant. In contrast, Co{sup 3+}, Mn{sup 4+} doped samples showed decreased permittivity but inhibited tan {delta} at frequencies larger than 30 kHz.
