Influence of Electromechanical Fields on Dielectric Properties of PLZT−x/65/35 Ceramics (x = 6 and 7)
2011
High density and transparent PLZT−x/65/35 (x = 6 and 7) ceramics with the average grain size of 5–7 μm was obtained by two−stage hot−pressing technology. The measurements of temperature/frequency dependence of the permittivities of these ceramics under uniaxial pressure (0–100 MPa) applied parallel to the ac electric field have been carried out. It was found that uniaxial pressure significantly influences dielectric properties of these ceramics. With the increase of pressure the maximum intensity in ϵ(T) curve decreases, becomes more diffuse and shifts towards higher temperature, dielectric dispersion decreases and classical ferroelectric seems to change to relaxor one. It was concluded, th…
Uniaxial Pressure Effect on Dielectric Properties of 0.7Na0. 5Bi0.5TiO3‐0.3SrTiO3Ceramics
2014
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…
LEAD-FREE (Na0.5Bi0.5)1-xBaxTiO3 SINGLE CRYSTALS (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) AND THEIR DIELECTRIC AND PYROELECTRIC PROPERTIES
2009
ABSTRACT Lead-free single crystals of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-BaTiO3 (NBT-BT) system were prepared by Czochralski method and their dielectric and pyroelectric properties have been studied. The results were compared with these for pure NBT. The obtained samples show pure perovskite structure with rhombohedral symmetry at room temperature. Low frequency (100 Hz–100 kHz) investigations reveal the diffuse phase transitions. The obtained results are discussed in terms of local electric and strain fields caused by different ionic radius of (Na, Bi) and Ba ions. The NBT-BT system is expected to be a new promising candidate for lead-free electronic crystals.
Dielectric Properties of Na0.5K0.5(Nb1-xSbx)O3+MnO2 Ceramics (x = 0.04, 0.05 and 0.06)
2011
Lead-free ceramics Na0.5K0.5(Nb1-xSbx)O3+0.5mol%MnO2 (x = 0.04, 0.05 and 0.06) were prepared by conventional sintering and hot pressing process; their microstructure and dielectric properties have been studied. It is found that increase of sintering temperature promotes the obtaining highly dense microstructure and increase in grain size while doping with Sb contributes to more dense and homogeneous microstructure and smaller grain size. Low frequency (100 Hz-200 kHz) investigations revealed the diffuse phase transitions. It can be concluded from experimental results that Sb doping improves dielectric properties. The obtained materials are expected to be promising candidates for lead-free e…
Uniaxial Pressure Effect on Electric Properties of PSN and 0.95PSN-0.05PLuN Ceramics
2006
The dielectric, pyroelectric and hysteresis loops measurements of PSN and 0.95PSN-0.05PLuN ceramics stress-free and under the stress (0–1.5 kbar) have been carried out. It was shown that axial pressure seems to change the partially ordered state to a disordered one, shifts the phase transformation and decreases the thermal hysteresis of the dielectric permittivity and the field-polarization hysteresis. These effects can be connected with change in domain structure, inter-ionic distances and defect density under the action of uniaxial pressure. The thermodynamic parameters of the phase transition were also determined.
Electrical Transport Properties of Lead−Free (Na0.5Bi0.5)1-xBaxZr0.04Ti0.96O3Ceramics (x = 0.06, 0.085, 0.1)
2011
Lead-free ceramics (Na0.5Bi0.5)1-xBaxZr0.04Ti0.96O3 were prepared by solid phase hot pressing sintering process. Density values of obtained samples are higher than 95% of the theoretical ones. Samples with x = 0.06, 0.085 and 0.1 were investigated in the present work. For these samples both ac and dc electric conductivity were studied. A low frequency (100 Hz-100 kHz) ac conductivity obeys the power law, characteristic for disordered materials. The dc conductivity has a thermally activated character. A barrier hopping model is found to explain the mechanism of charge transport in these materials. The (Na0.5Bi0.5)1-xBaxZr0.04Ti0.96O3 system is expected to be a new and promising candidate for…

2008
ABSTRACT Lead-free ceramics based on (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3, NBT)-(Ba(Ti, Zr)O3, BTZ) were prepared by solid phase synthesis and hot pressing sintering process and their dielectric properties have been studied. The obtained results were compared with these for pure NBT. The obtained samples show pure perovskite structure. Low frequency (100 Hz-100 kHz) investigations reveal the diffuse phase transitions and relaxorlike behaviour. The obtained results are discussed in terms of inhomogeneity of ions distribution, their ferro- and antiferroactivity and internal stresses. The NBT-BTZ system is expected to be a new promising candidate for lead-free electronic ceramics.

The frequency exponent s is a decreasing function of temperature and tends to zero at high temperatures. Dc conductivity has thermally activated character and possesses four linear parts with four different activation energies and some discontinous changes. However, σ ac (T) possesses two linear parts with two different activation energies and more discontinuous ch…
Structural and Dielectric Properties of (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.70Ba0.30TiO3 Ceramics.
2003
Abstract A (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.70Ba0.30TiO3 ceramic has been studied by X-ray diffraction and by measurements of dielectric and ferroelectric properties between room temperature and 450 °C. A sharp increase in the electric permittivity and dielectric loss near 200 °C has been observed. This sharp increase in dielectric responses indicates a transformation between normal and relaxor ferroelectric states. It is found that polar regions can exist at higher temperatures. The X-ray diffraction study shows that the transformation corresponds to the first order phase transition from tetragonal to cubic. The use of the (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.70Ba0.30TiO3 ceramic for device application has also been indicated.

Raman spectra and anomalies of dielectric properties and thermal expansion of lead-free (1−x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-xSrTiO3 (x = 0, 0.08 and 0.1) ceramics
2016
ABSTRACTThermal expansion, Raman and dielectric properties of the lead-free (1−x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-xSrTiO3 (x = 0, 0.08 and 0.1) ceramic solid solutions, fabricated by the conventional solid-state reaction method, were investigated. The Sr-doping results in an increase of the dielectric permittivity, broadening of the permittivity maximum, enhancement of the relaxation near depolarization temperature, broadening of the Raman bands and shift of all anomalies toward lower temperatures. The observed effects are attributed to an increase of the degree of cationic disorder and enhancement of the relaxor-like features. Anomalies in the thermal expansion strain were observed at the temperatures corre…

The micrograph of the fractured surface showed a dense structure in a good agreement with that of 91–94% relative density determined by the Archimedes method. An average grain size decreases with Sb and Mn doping (from about 20 μm for NKN to about 5 and 2 μm for NKNS6 and NKNS6 + 0.5%MnO2, respectively). Low frequency (100 Hz–200 kHz) investigations revealed the diffuse phase transitions. It was foun…

2013
Good quality lead-free ceramics of (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.7Sr0.3TiO3(NBTS30) have been produced by a solid phase sintering process. The dependence of dielectric and ferroelectric properties on the unaxial pressure (0–1200 bar) were investigated. A shift and decrease of maximum value of e, decrease of the thermal hysteresis and coercive field and increase of polarization with increasing pressure were observed. The results were discussed in terms of an elastic changes in inter-ionic distances in a crystal structure and switching nanoregions under the action of pressure. The NBTS30 ceramic is expected to be a new promising candidate for lead-free electronic material.
Effect of Electromechanical Loading on the Dielectric Properties of PLZT−x/65/35 Ceramics (x = 8 and 8.5)
2011
The influence of uniaxial pressure (0-800 bars) applied parallel to the ac electric field on the dielectric properties of La−modified lead–zirconate−titanate ceramics with the Zr/Ti ratio of 65/35 was investigated. Applying uniaxial pressure leads to the reduction of the peak intensity of the electric permittivity (ϵ), of the frequency dispersion as well as of the dielectric hysteresis. The peak intensity of ϵ becomes diffuse and shifts with increasing the pressure. Our results show that applying uniaxial pressure induces similar effects as increasing the Ti−ion concentration in PZT system. We interpreted our results based on domain switching processes under the action of combined electrome…

2005
The dielectric, pyroelectric and hysteresis loops measurements of PLuN and 0.6PLuN–0.4PSN ceramics, stress-free or under the stress (0–1.5 kbar), have been carried out. It is shown that uniaxial pressure shifts the phase transformation and decreases the thermal hysteresis of the electric permittivity and the field-polarization hysteresis. These changes of properties could be connected with domain wall motion and with switching of the polarization under uniaxial pressure.

Influence of Unaxial Pressure on Electric Properties of (1-x)PSN-xPLuN Solid Solutions (0.75 ≤ x < 1)
2007
(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.

However some signs of diffuse phase transition were observed. The transition temperatures and the maximum electric permitti…
Dielectric, thermal and Raman spectroscopy studies of lead-free (Na0.5Bi0.5)1−xSrxTiO3 (x = 0, 0.04 and 0.06) ceramics
2016
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. Their dielectric, thermal and Raman properties were studied. X-ray diffraction analysis shows perovskite structure with rhombohedral symmetry at room temperature. Sr doping of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) results in an increase of the dielectric permittivity, diffusing of the permittivity maximum and its shift toward lower temperatures. The temperature of the rhombohedral–tetragonal phase transition indicated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) peak and relaxational dielectric anomaly near the depolarization temperature are also shifte…
