LEAD-FREE (Na0.5Bi0.5)1-xBaxTiO3 SINGLE CRYSTALS (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) AND THEIR DIELECTRIC AND PYROELECTRIC PROPERTIES
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 LEAD-FREE [(1-x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)-xBa]Zr1−yTiyO3CERAMICS (x = 0.01, 0.06, 0.085, 0.09, 0.1 AND y = 0.96, 0.97)
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.
