Dielectric properties and ac conductivities of Bi1−xSmxFeO3 ceramics
2019
Dielectric permittivity, dielectric losses and ac-conductivity of polycrystalline Bi1−xSmxFeO3 (x = 0; 0.05; 0.1; 0.15; 0.2) are measured in the frequency range 1 kHz–10 MHz and in the temperature range 25–600 °C. Anomalies have been observed at the 200 °C, 300 °C and at the Néel temperature. It has been demonstrated that doping with Sm has enhanced the dielectric properties and increased conduction in the frequency region 1 MHz) and at a certain temperature Tm, depending on the composition Bi1−xSmxFeO3, the conductivity reaches a maximum. The results are discussed with reference to the model of correlated barrier hopping.
Distribution of the relaxation times of the new relaxor 0.4PSN–0.3PMN–0.3PZN ceramics
2005
Abstract The real distribution function of the relaxation times g ( τ ) of the relaxor ferroelectric ceramics 0.4PSN–0.3PMN–0.3PZN is calculated from the experimental dielectric spectra obtained in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 1.25 GHz. Below the Burns temperature T B ≅ 380 K, where the clusters begin to appear on cooling, the distribution of the relaxation times is symmetrically shaped. On cooling, the permittivity and loss spectra strongly broaden and slow down. The g ( τ ) function becomes asymmetrically shaped and the second maximum appears. The width of the g ( τ ) function is calculated at different temperatures. The shortest relaxation time is of the order of 10 −12 s and it r…
New ferroelectric materials on the basis of PbSc1/2Nb1/2O3–PbLu1/2Nb1/2O3 solid solutions
2004
Abstract Original binary solid solutions PbSc 1/2 Nb 1/2 O 3 –PbLu 1/2 Nb 1/2 O 3 (PSN-PLuN) have been produced. First of all nominally pure PSN and PLuN were synthesized by solid state reaction from oxides and carbonates. These compounds were mixed in different proportions to obtain (1− x )PSN− x PLuN solid solutions. Ceramic samples were hot-pressed at gradual change of the temperature. Solid solutions have the perovskite structure and are completely soluble in each other. Differential thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction were used to examine the synthesis and phase constitution. Dielectric properties—dielectric permittivity e and dielectric loss tan δ of ceramic samples of originally s…
BST ceramics: Effect of attrition milling on dielectric properties
2004
Abstract The effect of grain size on the dielectric properties of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) ceramics is investigated. Attrition milling is chosen to obtain nanometre particle size from micrometre particle size powders. Fine grained ceramics are obtained by hot uniaxial pressing (HUP). Additionally, the present study is focused on the effect of the nature of milling balls on loss tangent and permittivity. For that, three kinds of balls are tested: calcia, yttria or ceria stabilised zirconia balls. The properties of these samples are evaluated in the range of MHz. The balls induce an involuntary doping of powders which modifies the dielectric properties, especially the Curie temperature and loss t…
Dielectric spectroscopy measurements of the sub-Tg relaxations in amorphous ethyl cellulose: A relaxation magnitude study
2005
Amorphous ethyl cellulose exhibits three secondary relaxations at temperatures below its glass transition. The fitted parameters that describe these processes and the comparison with other polysaccharides allow to ascribe the relaxations to lateral groups on one hand and to local main chain motion on the other hand. Their contributions to the dielectric constant overlap and induce a broad dielectric losses peak. The amplitude of one of these relaxations is found to decrease regularly with time. It is believed it comes from a gradual change of the polar groups chemical environment that constrains their motion.
Germanium modified BaTiO3as a promising electroceramics
2016
ABSTRACTThe polycrystalline sample of BaTi0.95Ge0.05O3 was prepared by solid-phase reaction using a conventional method. The morphology of investigated sample was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results allowed to determining the stoichiometry of the material and evaluate their microstructure. High quality samples were investigated, the grains are well shaped without of a glassy phase. The dielectric properties of the BaTi0.95Ge0.05O3 ceramics were determined. The results were compared with these ones obtained for pure BaTiO3. The obtained data indicated that the substitution of Ge+4 ions had an influence on the values of the real (ϵ′) and imaginary (ϵ″) parts of el…
Oxide or carbide nanoparticles synthesized by laser ablation of a bulk Hf target in liquids and their structural, optical, and dielectric properties
2016
International audience; Laser ablation of a bulk Hf target in deionized (DI) water, ethanol, or toluene was carried out for the production of nanoparticles' colloidal solutions. Due to the interaction of the ablation plasma plume species with the species which are produced by the liquid decomposition at the plume-liquid interface, hafnia (HfO2) nanoparticles are synthesized in DI water, hafnium carbide (HfC) nanoparticles in toluene, and a mixture of these in ethanol. The hafnia nanoparticles are in the monoclinic low temperature phase and in the tetragonal and fcc high temperature phases. Their size distribution follows log-normal function with a median diameter in the range of 4.3–5.3 nm.…
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.
The physical mechanisms of relaxation times distribution in inorganic and organic disordered ferroelectrics
2007
Abstract We discuss the physical background for relaxation times distribution in organic and inorganic disordered ferroelectrics. We show that such background is a disorder which is believed to be a reason for relaxor behavior. Due to this disorder the internal electric and elastic fields are of a random nature being characterized by certain distribution function. Having the distribution function f ( E ) of random field E , we can obtain the distribution function of relaxation times F ( τ ) with the help of relation between τ and E . Latter relation can be obtained considering the dynamics of a single electric dipole in a random field created by the ensemble of defects and impurities in a s…
ZrTiO4 materials obtained by spark plasma reaction-sintering
2014
Zirconium titanate (ZrTiO4), have many attractive properties such as high resistivity, high dielectric constant, high permittivity at microwave frequencies and excellent temperature stability for microwave properties. Zirconium titanate dense materials are proposed for many structural applications, but fully reacted and completely dense pieces are difficult to obtain by conventional routes. In this work, fully dense zirconium titanate materials (∼98%) were obtained at lower temperatures (1300-1400 C) and short processing time by non-conventional technique; spark plasma-reaction sintering (SPRS). Homogeneous and stable starting powders mixture with the adequate composition was prepared from …
