Dielectric,thermal and Raman spectroscopy studies of lead-free (Na0.5Bi0.5)1−xSrxTiO3 (x = 0, 0.04 and 0.06) ceramics

ABSTRACT

Lead-free (Na_0.5Bi_0.5)_1?xSr_xTiO₃ (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 Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ (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 shifted toward lower temperatures. The observed increase and broadening of the permittivity maximum, enhancement of the dielectric relaxation near the depolarization temperature, broadening of the DSC anomaly related to the rhombohedral–tetragonal phase transition and broadening of the Raman bands with increasing Sr content are attributed to the increase of the degree of cationic disorder and evident enhancement of the relaxor-like features in NBT–xST. This enhancement could play a positive role in the improvement of the piezoelectric performance of NBT-based ceramics.     

Influence of sintering conditions on structural,thermal, electric and ferroelectric properties of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 ceramics

Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method and by a hot-pressing route. The influence of sintering conditions on structural, thermal, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of these ceramics was investigated. All obtained samples exhibited a single perovskite phase. It was shown that the sintering conditions significantly influence the properties under investigation. This includes changes in the value of the electric permittivity ? and dielectric loss tanδ, a shift of T_m and T_d and change of the ferroelectric properties. These effects are mainly related to volatility of the Na and Bi components during the sintering process along with formation of their compensating charge defects, which leads to local structure change.     

Improved ferroelectric,dielectric and magnetic properties with La- and Mn- doped Bi5Ti3FeO15 thin films

A series of La and Mn co-doped Bi₅Ti₃FeO₁₅ (BLTFMO) thin films were prepared by spin-coating deposition route. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the structures of these BLTFMO thin films. Ferromagnetic properties are obtained as the La-doping content is 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 with the transition temperature of 127.2 K, 65.1 K, 48.1 K, and 7.9 K, respectively. Well-defined ferroelectric loops are found in all these BLTFMO films, and a higher remnant polarization of 27.84, 24.21 and 24.02 μC/cm² is obtained in the 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 La-doped films, respectively. A weak dielectric dispersion for the BLTFMO without La-doping, a strong one in 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 La doped films as indicated by the appearance of a dielectric loss peak, and a weak dispersion in 0.6, 0.8 and 1 La doped ones are demonstrated.     

Structural,optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of antiperovskite compounds Ae3PbS (Ae = Ca,Sr and Ba): A first principles study

In the last years, alkaline-earth based antiperovskite compounds with small semiconductor band gap have been proven to be promising candidate for optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications. In this work, the structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of Ae₃PbS (Ae = Ca, Sr and Ba) compounds have been predicted using first principles calculations based on the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FP-LAPW) method and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. Exchange-correlation effect is treated with the generalized gradient approximation with Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof scheme (GGA-PBE) and Tran–Blaha modified Becke–Johnson exchange potential. The lattice constant of considered materials increases as Ae goes in order from Ca to Ba and the hardness slightly decreases in this order. Ca₃PbS and Sr₃PbS are semiconductor with direct band gap of 0.199 eV and 0.116 eV, respectively, while Ba₃PbS is nearly metallic. Important optical responses of studied antiperovskites are found in the visible and ultraviolet energy range. Finally, the thermoelectric properties including Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, power factor and figure of merit are calculated. Obtained results show that Ca₃PbS and Sr₃PbS could be candidate for applications in thermoelectric generators at low and moderate temperatures due to their high figure of merit values.     

Structural,elastic, thermodynamic and electronic properties of LuX (X = N,Bi and Sb) compounds: first principles calculations

ABSTRACT

The structural, electronic, elastic and thermodynamic properties of LuX (X = N, Bi and Sb) based on rare earth into phases, Rocksalt (B1) and CsCl (B2) have been investigated using full-potential linearized muffin-tin orbital method (FP-LMTO) within density functional theory. Local density approximation (LDA) for exchange-correlation potential and local spin density approximation (LSDA) are employed. The structural parameters as lattice parameters a₀, bulk modulus B, its pressure derivate B’ and cut-off energy (E_c) within LDA and LSDA are presented. The elastic constants were derived from the stress–strain relation at 0 K. The thermodynamic properties for LuX using the quasi-harmonic Debye model are studied. The temperature and pressure variation of volume, bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, heat capacities, Debye temperature and Gibbs free energy at different pressures (0–50 GPa) and temperatures (0–1600 K) are predicted. The calculated results are in accordance with other data.     

Pressure dependences of elastic and lattice dynamic properties of AlAs from ab initio calculations

Ab initio calculations, based on norm-conserving nonlocal pseudopotentials and density functional theory (DFT), are performed to investigate the structural, elastic, dielectric, and vibrational properties of aluminum arsenide AlAs with zinc-blende (B3) structure and nickel arsenide (B8₁) structure under hydrostatic pressure. Firstly, the path for the phase transition from B3 to B8₁ is confirmed by analyzing the energies of different structures, which is in good agreement with previous theoretical results. Secondly, we find that the elastic constants, bulk modulus, static dielectric constants, and the optical phonon frequencies are varying in a nearly linear manner under hydrostatic pressure. What is more, the softening mode of transversal acoustic mode at X point supports the phase transition in AlAs.

Electronic,dielectric and mechanical properties of MoS2/SiC hybrid bilayer: A first principle study

The electronic, mechanical and dielectric properties of lateral MoS₂/SiC heterobilayer are investigated using first principles calculations. Among various stacking conformations, the energetically favorable stackings namely AA₂ and AB′₁ have been considered in the present study. The band gap of the heterobilayer shows reduction as compared to constituent monolayers which also remains stacking dependent. The electronic band-gap is further tunable by applying mechanical strain and perpendicular electric field that rendered heterostructures from semiconductor to metal at critical value of applied strain/field. The stacking of heterobilayer strongly influence its mechanical properties e.g. ultimate tensile strength of considered two favorable stacking differ by more than 50%; the ultimate tensile strain of 17% and 21% respectively has been calculated for two different stackings. The static dielectric constant also shows tunability on heterostructuring the constituent monolayers as well as applying strain and field. These tunable properties of MoS₂/SiC may be useful for the device applications at nanoscale.     

Correlation of sp and sp fraction of carbon with electrical, optical and nano-mechanical properties of argon-diluted diamond-like carbon films

In the present work the correlation of electrical, optical and nano-mechanical properties of argon-diluted diamond-like carbon (Ar-DLC) thin films with sp³ and sp² fractions of carbon have been explored. These Ar-DLC thin films have been deposited, under varying C₂H₂ gas pressures from 25 to 75 mTorr, by radio frequency-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies are performed to estimate the sp³ and sp² fractions of carbon by deconvoluting C 1s core level spectra. Various electrical, optical and nano-mechanical parameters such as conductivity, I-V characteristics, optical band gap, stress, hardness, elastic modulus, plastic resistance parameter, elastic recovery and plastic deformation energy have been estimated and then correlated with calculated sp³ and sp² fractions of carbon and sp³/sp² ratios. Observed tremendous electrical, optical and nano-mechanical properties in Ar-DLC films deposited under high base pressure conditions made it a cost effective material for not only hard and protective coating applications but also for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
