Multiferroic BaTi1-xFexO3 (0,0 ≤ x ≤ 0,18) materials were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The influence of Fe substitution for Ti on the crystalline structure and opto-magnetic property of BaTi1-xFexO3 samples was investigated. The results revealed that, the structure of the material sensitively depended on Fe dopant content, x, and transformed gradually from the tetragonal (P4mm) phase to the hexagonal (P63/mmc). The presence of Fe impurity levels combined with the complex levels due to lack of oxygen defects and lattice defects created overlapping lattice, expanded the absorption band and provided the absorption edge toward longer wavelength. We also point out that Fe3+ and Fe4+ ions substitute for Ti4+ and prefer locating in the tetragonal and hexagonal BaTiO3 structures, respectively. It seems that, ferromagnetism in BaTi1-xFexO3 is related to lattice defects and/or exchange interactions between Fe3+ and Fe4+ ions.
