Pure BiFeO3 ceramics and BiMnxFe1-xO3 (x=0.1, 0.15, 0.2, and 0.25) ceramics were prepared by sol-gel method. A structural phase transition from rhombohedral R3c to triangle R3m occurred in Mn-doped BFO ceramics. Mn-doped BFO ceramics exhibited better crystallinity, larger dielectric constant as well as smaller dielectric loss. Besides, a small nonlinearity of magnetization-field curves M(H) was observed, the remanent magnetization increased with the increase of manganese content, and all the BiMnxFe1-xO3 ceramics showed the typical antiferromagnetic, which could be attributed to the effective decrease in the concentration of oxygen vacancies, and the corresponding structural transition.
