N2 - A new Sillen-Aurivillius oxide Bi7Fe2Ti2O17Cl (BFTOCl), in which four perovskite layers are sandwiched by Sillen slabs, is designed and prepared by the solid-state reaction. Compared with pure Aurivilius structure, the Sillen slab requires one less positive charge for charge compensation due to the intercalation of Cl anions between two (Bi2O2)2+, which increases the concentration of magnetic Fe3+ ions in perovskite slab, and may depress the interaction of Fe3+ ions existing in neighboring perovskite slabs. This unique natural superlattice structure and the highly orientated texture of the ceramic result in a complex spin structure and an interesting magnetic anisotropy. The magnetism in in-plane direction (0.00487 emu/g at 100 K) is about 2.5 times larger than that in out-of-plane direction. Remarkably, exchange bias anisotropy has been observed in the BFTOCl ceramic, of which the exchange bias fields in in-plane and out-of-plane directions are 345 and 174 Oe at 100 K, respectively. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
