Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of barium-modified Aurivillius-type Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15

In this study, monophasic Ba_x(Na_0.5Bi_0.5)_1−xBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ (x=0.03, 0.06, 0.09 and 0.12) ceramics fabricated from the powders synthesized via the solid-state reaction route exhibited relaxor behavior. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the barium-modified Na_0.5Bi_4.5Ti₄O₁₅ ceramics have a pure four-layer Aurivillius phase structure. Dielectric properties and phase transitions were studied and are explained in terms of lattice response of these ceramics. A shift in ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition (T_c) to lower temperatures and a corresponding increase in permittivity peak with increasing concentration of Ba²⁺ are also observed. The decrease of orthorhombicity in the lattice structure by the larger Ba²⁺ ion incorporation, indicating an approach of a and b parameters, results in lower Curie temperature. The piezoelectric activity of Na_0.5Bi_4.5Ti₄O₁₅ (NBT) ceramics was significantly improved by the modification of barium. The Curie temperature T_c and piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ for the composition with x=0.12 were found to be 635 °C and 21 pC/N, respectively. The relationship of polarization with lattice response is discussed.     

Raman spectroscopic study of ceramic Sr2Bi4Ti5O18

Raman spectra of ceramic Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 （SBTi5） are reported to consist of four different Raman bands. Temperature-dependent spectra reveal the relationship between the lattice vibration and the material＇s structure. There appears a relatively large change in structure of the material at about 273K, The anharmonic potential of the material has a great influence on its phonon mode full width at half maximum （FWHM）, which can be expressed by a function of temperature. Theoretical fittings of the FWHMs for the two modes at around 312 cm^-1 and 464cm^-1 indicate that the latter phonon mode is more anharmonic than the former one.

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy of LiMn2O4, LiMn1.6Ti0.4O4 and LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4

The dielectric properties of LiMn₂O₄, LiMn_1.6Ti_0.4O₄ and LiMn_1.5Ni_0.5O₄ powders, synthesized by sol-gel method, were determined by analyzing the low-loss region of the electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) spectrum in a transmission electron microscope. From these data, the optical joint density of states (OJDS) was obtained by Kramers-Kronig analysis. Since maxima observed in the OJDS spectra are assigned to interband transitions above the Fermi level, these spectra can be interpreted on the basis of calculated density of states (DOS), carried out with the CASTEP code. Experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement.     

Research on charge-ordering state in La0.5Sr0.5MnO2.88 and La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.5Ti0.5O3 systems

The structural, magnetic and transport properties of La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO_2.88 and La_0.5Sr_0.5Mn_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ samples have been investigated systematically. Indeed, this series has been considered to understand the influence of physical parameters such as oxygen deficiency and titanium doping effect in undoped La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO₃ sample. Ceramic material based on La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO_2.88 exhibits interesting behaviours of charge-ordering (CO), ferromagnetic (FM) states and a good conductivity down to the lowest temperatures. The substitution of Ti for Mn destroyed drastically the CO, damaged the motion of itinerant e_g electrons and changed the local parameters of perovskite cell. A change of the structure from tetragonal to rhombohedral symmetry is observed causing a weakening of double-exchange interaction. The experiment results show that the suppression of the CO is sensitive to the variety of Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ratio. In a field of 8 T at 10 K, FM and CO phase can be evaluated to be ∼20:80 according to the μ_exp/μ_cal ratio for La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO_2.88, whereas the CO state is suppressed for La_0.5Sr_0.5Mn_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ sample, FM and anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) phase are coexisted and evaluated to be ∼54:46, respectively.     

Hopping type of conduction in (Na0.5Bi0.5)ZrO3 ceramic

Polycrystalline sample with (Na_0.5Bi_0.5)ZrO₃ (NBZ) stoichiometry was prepared using a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate the formation of a single-phase perovskite-type orthorhombic structure. AC impedance plot is used as tool to analyse the electrical behaviour of the sample as a function of temperature at different frequency. The AC impedance studies revealed the presence of grain boundary effect and evidence of a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) character. Pseudo Cole-Cole and complex electric modulus analyses indicated non-Debye-type dielectric relaxation. The AC conductivity obeys the universal power law. The pair approximation type correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model explains the universal behaviour of the s exponent. The apparent activation energy to the conduction process and minimum hopping distance are discussed.     

Relaxor behavior of K0.5La0.5Bi2Ta2O9 ceramics

Potassium lanthanum bismuth tantalate (K_0.5La_0.5Bi₂Ta₂O₉), a new relaxor ferroelectric was synthesized via the solid-state reaction route. X-ray structural studies along with Rietveld refinement confirmed it to be an n=2 member of the Aurivillius family of oxides and the refined lattice parameters are , and . The appearance of 1/2{h00} and 1/2{hk0} type superlattice reflections in the electron diffraction patterns reflected the presence of ordered polar regions. A broad dielectric peak associated with frequency dependent dielectric maximum temperature was observed. The value of the diffuseness parameter γ=1.93, obtained from the fit of a modified Curie-Weiss law established the relaxor nature of the title compound. The dielectric relaxation obeyed the Vogel-Fulcher relation wherein and . The relaxor behavior was attributed to the local polar ordering on A-sites.     

Properties of vanadium-doped SrBi4Ti4O15 ferroelectric ceramics

Using the standard solid-state reaction method, several vanadium-doped ferroelectric ceramics of type SrBi_4−x/3Ti_4−xV_xO₁₅ (SBTV-x) were synthesized. The vanadium doping content, x, ranges from 0.000 to 0.06. The crystal structure of SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ is not affected by V-doping. The electric breakdown voltage of the samples increases with V content. Meanwhile, V-doping results in a notable enlargement of remnant polarization (2P_r). The 2P_r of STBV-0.03 reaches a very large value, which is over 50 μC/cm² and is nearly twice greater than that at zero doping. The Curie temperatures of V-doped samples decrease slightly in comparison with that of SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅. V-doping can improve the electric properties of SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ without sacrificing its thermal stableness.

Anomalous temperature dependence of phonon modes in Bi2Ti4O11 and modified Bi2Ti4O11

We have observed the anomalous temperature dependence of the phonon modes in the Raman spectra of Bi₂Ti₄O₁₁ and the modified Bi₂Ti₄O₁₁ with the dopant of PbO. The square of the lowest mode frequency in both substances decreases linearly with increasing temperature, while the damping constant increases reaching a peak value at the transition temperature. The mode frequency, however, does not tend to zero but stays finite and the damping constant decreases above the transition temperature. The mode is Raman-active both above and below the transition temperature.     

The structural origin of the antiferroelectric properties and relaxor behavior of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3

This work presents a study of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ (NBT) by transmission electron microscopy in the 20-370 °C temperature range. A new orthorhombic intermediate phase between the rhombohedral and the tetragonal phases is proposed to account for the occurrence of (oee) superstructure spots. The phase transition from the rhombohedral to the orthorhombic phase occurs via a modulated phase formed by rhombohedral blocks and orthorhombic sheets. It is shown that these latter represent rhombohedral (0 1 0) twin planes. The modulated phase is proposed to explain the antiferroelectric and relaxor behaviors of NBT.     

Reduced dielectric loss and leakage current in CaCu3Ti4O12/SiO2/CaCu3Ti4O12 multilayered films

The CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂/SiO₂/CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ (CCTO/SiO₂/CCTO) multilayered films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition method. It has been demonstrated that the dielectric loss and the leakage current density were significantly reduced with the increase of the SiO₂ layer thickness, accompanied with a decrease of the dielectric constant. The CCTO film with a 20 nm SiO₂ layer showed a dielectric loss of 0.065 at 100 kHz and the leakage current density of 6×10⁻⁷ A/cm² at 100 kV/cm, which were much lower than those of the single layer CCTO films. The improvement of the electric properties is ascribed to two reasons: one is the improved crystallinity; the other is the reduced free carriers in the multilayered films.     

Ferroelectric properties of neodymium-doped Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 thin film prepared by solgel route

Sr₂Bi₄Ti₅O₁₈ (SBTi) and Nd-modified SBTi (SBNT) thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si (1 0 0) substrates using a sol-gel method. Structure, morphology and electric properties were investigated systematically. These films were randomly oriented and composed of rod-like grains. The remanent polarization (2P_r) and coercive field (E_c) of SBNT films were 30 μC/cm² and 55 kV/cm, respectively. This value of 2P_r was much higher than the reported value of SBTi prepared by pulsed-laser deposition. More importantly, the SBNT films showed high fatigue resistance against continuous switching up to 3×10⁹ cycles and excellent charge-retaining ability up to 3×10⁴ s.

Influence of Lu2O3 on electrical and microstructural properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics

In this work, the influence of Lu₂O₃ doped on the dielectric and electrical properties of CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ was reported. Lu₂O₃-doped CCTO was prepared by a conventional solid state technique using CuO, TiO₂, and CaCO₃ as starting materials. The samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM); dielectric measurements were measured in the 10² Hz–10⁷ Hz frequency range at room temperature; and the nonlinear behavior of all samples was measured. The doping of Lu₂O₃ resulted in an increase in the dielectric constant of CCTO, but decreased the stability of the frequency dependence. Increasing concentrations of Lu₂O₃ resulted in decreasing nonlinear coefficients.
