Electrical Transport in Lead-Free [(1−x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)-xBa]Zr1 - yTiyO3Ceramics (x = 0, 0.06, and y = 0, 0.96)
Lead-free ceramics based on (Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 , NBT)-(Ba(Ti,Zr)O 3 , BTZ) were prepared by solid phase hot pressing sintering process and their ac (σ ac ) and dc (σ dc ) conductivity have been studied (303–753 K). Low frequency (100 Hz–100 kHz) ac conductivity obeys power law σ ac ∼ ω s characteristic for disordered materials. 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…
Effect of Cu doping on Ba0.95Pb0.05TiO3 electrical properties studied by means of electrical impedance spectroscopy
The ceramics of 0.95BaTiO3–0.05PbTiO3+Xwt.%CuO (X = 0.05, 0.1, 1, 3) were prepared by a solid phase reaction. The structural and morphology studies were carried out by means of X-ray diffraction te...
Influence of Uniaxial Pressure on Dielectric Properties and Aging Effect of BiFeO3Ceramic
The external stress (0–1500 bar) dependence of dielectric properties and an aging effect of BiFeO3 ceramic has been investigated. The electric permittivity and dielectric losses first increased (up to about 700 bar) and next decreased with uniaxial pressure applied parallel to the ac field direction, while increased with the stress perpendicularly applied. It was suggested that combination of the de-aging, clamping of the domain walls, and the polarization reorientation mechanisms can be responsible for these changes. The aging effect is followed logarithmic law and is related to the relaxation of the domain structure towards an equilibrium configuration.
