FeTiNbO6　ceramics　have　been　prepared　through　a　solid-state　reaction　route.　The　room-temperature　dielectric　relaxation　and　magnetic　characteristics　of　FeTiNbO6　were　investigated　together　with　the　crystal　structure.　The　present　ceramics　were　characterized　by　tetragonal　rutile　structure　in　space　group　P4(2)/mnm.　An　obvious　dielectric　relaxation　with　strong　frequency　dispersion　and　following　the　modified　Debye　equation　was　detected　in　low　temperature　range,　which　can　be　assumed　to　the　carrier　hopping　process　between　Fe2+　and　Fe3+.　Temperature　dependence　of　the　dc　conductivity　(sigma(dc))　follows　well　to　Mott　variable　range　hopping　(VRH)　mechanism.　The　comparison　of　the　dielectric　behaviors　between　the　as-sintered　samples　and　the　O-2-annealed　samples　shows　that　the　low-temperature　relaxation　in　FeTiNbO6　is　indeed　polarnic　in　nature.　Moreover,　the　slim　magnetic　hysteresis　loop　was　detected　at　room　temperature,　indicating　the　weak　ferromagnetism　in　FeTiNbO6　ceramics.　(C)　2013　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
