Abstract Multiferroic magnetoelectric PbTi 1– x Fe x O 3 compounds were prepared using a solid‐state reaction method in the composition range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15. The temperature dependence of lattice parameters of PbTi 1– x Fe x O 3 was determined from high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction. The average volumetric thermal expansion coefficient of the tetragonal phase increases from –1.99 × 10 –5 °C –1 for PbTiO 3 to –1.13 × 10 –5 °C –1 for PbTi 0.90 Fe 0.10 O 3 . The negative thermal expansion and the Curie temperature ( T C ) of PbTiO 3 are reduced by the introduction of Fe. Raman spectral measurements show a softening behaviour for A 1 (1TO) and A 1 (2TO) of PbTi 1– x Fe x O 3 with increasing Fe concentration, which means that the decrease in both T C and c / a is due to the reduced spontaneous polarization.
