Uniaxial Pressure Effect on Dielectric Properties of 0.7Na0. 5Bi0.5TiO3‐0.3SrTiO3Ceramics
The 0.7Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.3SrTiO3 ceramics were prepared by a solid-state mixed-oxide technique at 1180°C. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy studies revealed that the obtained samples possess perovskite structure. The behaviour of the electric permittivity (ɛ) and polarization of these ceramics as a function of uniaxial pressure (0 – 1000 bar) were investigated. Applying pressure shifts and decrease of maximum value of ɛ, a diffuseness of the permittivity characteristics, decrease of the thermal hysteresis and change of the polarization. We discuss our results based on elastic changes in inter-ionic distances in the crystal structure and nanoregions switching processes by pressure. The…
Effect of Zr4+Doping on the Electrical Properties of BaTiO3Ceramics
The BaZrxTi1-xO3 for 0⩽x⩽15 ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid state reaction method and were determined by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for crystallographic, surface morphological and compositional studies. A single phase with perovskite structure was identified in the samples at room temperature. No significant impurities were detected in an EDS spectrum and the samples are in good stoichiometric ratio. The temperature dependence of electric conductivity was evaluated in the temperature range from 300 to 550 K for a selected frequency by a HP4284 LCR meter. The activation energy was calculated from the Arrhenius plots.

Effect of Variable Valence Ion Doping on the Dielectric Properties of BaTiO3–Based Materials
Dielectric properties of BaTiO3, BaTiO3 + 0.1 wt.% Fe2O3 and BaTiO3 + 1 wt.% Fe2O3 ceramics were studied. The dielectric measurements were performed at the temperature ranging from 130 K to 500 K and at the frequency ranging from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz. Phase transitions were also determined by a thermal analysis in a wide temperature range. Both thermal analysis and electrical characterization techniques show that the temperature of phase transition is shifted towards lower temperatures with increasing Fe2O3 content. The changes and diversity of the observed phase transition temperatures occurred as a consequence of the ion substitution. Such behaviour of the investigated polycrystalline materia…
Comparison of the Influences of a Perpendicular and Parallel Uniaxial Stress on the Dielectric and Ferroelectric Properties of Fe Doped BaTiO3Ceramics
The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramic under uniaxial stress applied perpendicular and parallel to the electric field are presented and analyzed. For the dielectric properties, the results showed that the uniaxial stress reduced an electric permittivity and dielectric losses for the both directions of applied stress. It was also found that an applied uniaxial pressure also enhanced a diffuse phase transformation behaviour. In the case of the ferroelectric properties the applied stress weakens a polarization when it is applied parallel (p∥ac) to the electric field. These results were interpreted through the stress induced domain switching process.
SrTiO3and Pr Effects on Structural, Dielectric and Ferroelectric Properties of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3Ceramic
[(Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3)0.7Sr0.3]1-xPrxTiO3(NBTS30P) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.025) ceramics were prepared by solid-state synthesis process.

Composition-related structural, thermal and mechanical properties of Ba1−xSrxTiO3ceramics (0 ≤x≤ 0.4)
The Ba1−xSrxTiO3 (BST) ceramics were prepared by conventional ceramic method. The crystalline structure and morphology were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Experimental results show that increase of sintering temperature leads to an uncontrolled precipitating of the phase with a lower content of Ti. The dielectric constant and specific heat as a function of composition and temperature were investigated. The increasing concentration of Sr ions leads to a shift of the Curie point below room temperature. To determine the elastic constants (the Young's modulus E, the shear modulus G and the Poisson's ratio v) of BST, a method of measurement of the lo…

ABSTRACTThe BaTiO3 and BaTiO3+X%wt.Eu2O3 (X = 1, 2, 3) ceramics were prepared by a solid phase reaction. The structural and morphology studies were carried out by means of an X-ray diffraction technique and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Elastic moduli were determined with the use of an ultrasonic method. The dielectric permittivity (ϵ′) and tanδ as a function of composition and temperature were investigated. The increasing concentration of Eu ions leads to a slight shift of the Curie temperature and changes the characteristics of ϵ′ and tanδ. The structural, mechanical and dielectric properties of the BTEX ceramics were discussed in terms of microstructure and dopants contents.

Synthesis, microstructure and dielectric properties of (1−x)PSN−xPLuN
Ceramic lead niobates and their solid solutions PSN–PLuN (pure lutecium niobate) were synthesized by solid state reactions. The sequence of phases formed at PSN–PLuN synthesis has been studied by X-ray analysis. Their symmetry changed from rhombohedral for PSN to pseudo-monoclinic for the 0.75PSN–0.25PLuN compositions. The performed EDS investigations revealed that the samples PSN–PLuN are perfectly sintered. They contain a little glassy phase and their grains are well shaped. The increase of lutecium content in the examined solid solution caused downward shift of the temperature of the phase transition. The decrease of the achieved permittivity values ϵ was observed as well.
Study of the Dielectric Properties of Europium Doped Barium Titanate Ceramics by an Impedance Spectroscopy
The barium titanate (BaTiO3) and the BaTiO3 + 0.1wt.% Eu2O3 ceramics were prepared by a conventional ceramic method. The structural studies were carried out by means of an X-ray diffraction technique. The influence of the grains and the grain boundaries on the electrical properties was investigated using a impedance spectroscopy. This technique enables us to determine the values of grain and grain boundary resistance. The results show that the Eu doping leads to a significant reduction in the resistance value of the grains (˜105Ω) with respect to the pure BT ceramics (˜107Ω). The conductivity processes were determined from the Arrhenius behaviour of grain and grain boundary resistances.

Influence of Unaxial Pressure on Electric Properties of (1-x)PSN-xPLuN Solid Solutions (0.75 ≤ x < 1)
(1-x)PSN-xPLuN ceramics with single phase perovskite structure and rhombohedral symmetry at room temperature were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The influence of unaxial pressure (0–1500 bars) on dielectric properties of these compounds were studied. It is found that these materials are sensitive to external stress. This includes the shift of phase transitions, diffuseness of dielectric permittivity characteristics and the decrease of the thermal hysteresis of the permittivity and field-polarization hysteresis. These changes of properties could be connected with the change in domain structure, the elastic change of distances between ions and the change in defects density.
Dielectric, thermal and Raman spectroscopy studies of lead-free (Na0.5Bi0.5)1−xSrxTiO3 (x = 0, 0.04 and 0.06) ceramics
ABSTRACTLead-free (Na0.5Bi0.5)1−xSrxTiO3 (x = 0, 0.04 and 0.06) ceramics with relative densities above 97% were prepared by solid-state synthesis process.

Influence of uniaxial pressure and aging on dielectric and ferroelectric properties of BaTiO3ceramics
The effect of uniaxial pressure (0–3000 bar) applied parallel to the AC electric field and aging on dielectric and ferroelectric behavior of BaTiO3 ceramics were investigated. Applying uniaxial pressure leads to a reduction of the peak intensity of the electric permittivity (e) of the polarization as well as of the dielectric hysteresis. The peak intensity of e becomes diffused and shifts to a higher temperatures with increasing the pressure. The electrostrictive coefficient Q 11 and differential permittivity were evaluated from the obtained data. We interpreted our results based on the hardening of the soft-mode and domain switching processes under the action of pressure. The aging effect …
