Effects of （LiCe） co-substitution on the structural and electrical properties of CaBi2Nb209 ceramics

The piezoelectric,dielectric,and ferroelectric properties of the(LiCe) co-substituted calcium bismuth niobate(CaBi2Nb2O9,CBNO) are investigated.The piezoelectric properties of CBNO ceramics are significantly enhanced and the dielectric loss tan δ decreased.This makes poling using(LiCe) co-substitution easier.The ceramics(where represents A-site Ca2+ vacancies,possess a pure layered structure phase and no other phases can be found.The Ca0.88(LiCe)0.04 0.04Bi2Nb2O9 ceramics possess optimal piezoelectric properties,with piezoelectric coefficient(d 33) and Curie temperature(TC) found to be 13.3 pC/N and 960 C,respectively.The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the(LiCe) co-substituted CBNO ceramics exhibit very stable temperature behaviours.This demonstrates that the CBNO ceramics are a promising candidate for ultrahigh temperature applications.     

弛豫铁电单晶的研究进展—压电效应的起源研究

由于具有优异的压电性能,弛豫铁电单晶自上世纪90年代问世以来即成为了铁电压电领域研究的热点材料,并被认为是研发下一代高性能换能器、传感器等器件的重要压电材料。弛豫铁电单晶不但压电常数可达2500 pC/N,约为软性Pb(Zr,Ti)O3(PZT)陶瓷的5倍,而且其电致应变滞后也远小于软性PZT陶瓷。因此,弛豫铁电单晶高压电性能的产生机理一直是铁电压电领域的研究热点。本文主要介绍了弛豫铁电单晶材料在近些年的发展,从本征压电效应(晶格压电畸变)的角度归纳总结了弛豫铁电单晶高压电效应的产生机理,着重探讨了弛豫铁电单晶的重要特点—剪切压电效应。在本征效应的基础上,本文对弛豫铁电单晶压电效应与晶体组分、切向以及温度的关系进行了分析。需要指出的是,目前基于本征角度对弛豫铁电单晶高压电效应的分析仍处于定性的阶段,因而还不能完全排除一些可能导致弛豫铁电单晶高压电效应的非本征物理机制。     

Irradiation behavior and recovery effect of ferroelectric properties of PZT thin films

Lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramics have important applications in space and aerospace technology, but the effect and physical mechanism of charged particle radiation on their performance yet to be clarified. In this study,we characterized PbZr_(0.52)Ti_(0.48)O_3(PZT) thin films, and changes in the ferroelectric properties of the films before and after electron and proton irradiation were investigated. The natural and heat treatment recoverability of the ferroelectric properties were studied, and the damages and mechanisms of different types of radiation in PZT films were also investigated.The results show that, in addition to ionization damages, electron irradiation causes certain structural damage on the PZT film, and the large structural damage caused by proton irradiation reduces drastically the ferroelectricity of the PZT film.     

Prediction of the properties of two-phase composites with a piezoactive component

The effective dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic constants of two-phase macroscopically piezoactive 3-0 and 3-3 composites are calculated. It is assumed that one of the components is a polarized ferroelectric ceramic material and the other is an inactive material with variable elastic properties. The limiting case when the elastic compliances of the inactive material tend to infinity (porous ferroelectric ceramics) is considered. The adequacy of this model to production technologies of piezoelectric composites is discussed. Computational results are compared with experimental data.     

Effect of calcium substitution on structural,dielectric, ferroelectric,piezoelectric, and energy storage properties of BaTiO3

The effect of calcium substitution on the structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and energy storage properties of BaTiO₃ (BT) ceramics has been investigated. XRD confirmed the phase formation of Barium Calcium Titanate (BCT), and structural Rietveld refinement was used to estimate the lattice parameters. It is evident from the SEM data that the average grain size decreases as calcium is added. At Curie temperature (110 °C), BCT 0.10 ceramic has a good dielectric constant of 15834 and a very low dielectric loss of 0.009. According to the ferroelectric and piezoelectric investigations, BCT 0.10 exhibits maximum spontaneous polarization with the highest piezoelectric charge coefficient of 100 pC/N. BCT 0.10 has a maximum energy storage density of 96.8 mJ/cm³ and a good energy storage efficiency of 53.9%, which is around three times that of pure BaTiO₃. These results suggest that the BCT ceramic has good potential for energy storage applications.     

Review of some lesser-known applications of piezoelectric and pyroelectric polymers

The piezoelectric effect was first observed in polyvinylidene fluoride polymer (PVDF) in 1969, and the pyroelectric effect was found several years later. A number of additional ferroelectric polymers have been discovered since that time including the copolymer PVDF with trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)), and the odd-numbered nylons. A large number of applications of piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity have been developed. The magnitudes of the effects in polymers are much lower than those of ferroelectric ceramics (an exception is the piezoelectric effect in porous polymers). However, other factors make these very desirable materials for applications. The polymers have low permittivities, low acoustic impedances and low thermal conductivities. They are available in large area sheets, flexible, and relatively low in cost. Major applications include microphones and loudspeakers, ultrasonic devices, SAW transducers, actuators, single-element infrared detectors and many others. This review will describe some of the lesser-known applications of these materials in the areas of tactile devices, energy conversion, porous polymers, property measurement, pyroelectric infrared sensors, shock sensors and space science.

Fine grains ceramics of PIN-PT, PIN-PMN-PT and PMN-PT systems: drift of the dielectric constant under high electric field

Lead-based ferroelectric ceramics with (1-x)Pb(B1 B2)O3-xPbTiO3 formula have emerged as a group of promising materials for various applications like ultrasonic sonars or medical imaging transducers. (1-x)PMN-xPT, (1-x)PIN-xPT and ternary solutions xPIN-yPMN-zPT ceramics are synthesised using the solid state reaction method. Our objective is to achieve higher structural transition temperatures than those of PMN-PT ceramics with as good dielectric, piezoelectric and electromechanical properties. Ceramics capacitance and loss tangent are measured when the ac field of measurement increases up to E=500 V/mm. Behaviours of these materials under ac field are related to their coercive field and Curie temperature.

Processing,Structure, Properties,and Applications of PZT Thin Films

There has been a resurgence of complex oxides of late owing to their ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. Although these properties had been recognized decades ago, the renewed interest stems from modern deposition techniques that can produce high quality materials and attractive proposed device concepts. In addition to their use on their own, the interest is building on the use of these materials in a stack also. Ferroelectrics are dielectric materials that have spontaneous polarization in certain temperature range and show nonlinear polarization–electric field dependence called a hysteresis loop. The outstanding properties of the ferroelectrics are due to non-centro-symmetric crystal structure resulting from slight distortion of the cubic perovskite structure. The ferroelectric materials are ferroelastic also in that a change in shape results in a change in the electric polarization (thus electric field) developed in the crystal and vice versa. Therefore they can be used to transform acoustic waves to electrical signal in sonar detectors and convert electric field into motion in actuators and mechanical scanners requiring fine control. In a broader sense the ferroelectric materials can be used for pyroelectric and piezoelectric sensors, voltage tunable capacitors, infrared detectors, surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, microactuators, and nonvolatile random-access memories (NVRAMs), including the potential production of one transistor memory cells, and applications requiring nonlinear optic components. Another set of potential applications seeks to exploit the ferroelastic properties in stacked templates where they are juxtaposed to ferromagnetic materials. Doing so would allow the control of magnetic properties with electric field, which is novel. Such templates taking advantage two or more properties acquired a new name and now goes by multiferroics. After a brief historical development, this article discusses technological issues such as growth and processing, electrical and optical properties, piezo, pyro, and ferroelectric properties, degradation, measurements methods, and application of mainly lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT = PbZr_1?xTi_xO₃). The focus on PZT stems from its large electromechanical constant, large saturation polarization and large dielectric constant.     

Effects of Sm substitution on ferroelectric domains and conductivity in bismuth ferrite ceramics

The large piezoelectric coefficient and multiferroicity of bismuth ferrite (BFO) make it an attractive candidate for lead-free ferroelectric devices. However, large leakage currents have limited broader applications. Rare-earth substitutions in BFO have been shown to improve ferroelectric and magnetic properties. In this work, we employed piezoresponse and conductive atomic force microscopy to study ferroelectric domains in Bi_1-xSm_xFeO₃ (x = 0–0.150) grown by the co-precipitation method. The combined piezoresponse and conductivity measurements can directly visualize the local ferroelectric domains under different sample bias. At Sm mol% > 7.5, Sm-substitution effectively lowers defect-generated conductivity. At Sm mol% < 7.5, conductivity increases due to conductive domain walls inside sample grains. The surfaces of these conductive samples exhibit a p-type rectifying behavior while the bulk is n-type. Our work details how the local piezoelectric properties and transport behaviors of BFO ceramics change as a function of Sm-substitution.     

Piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) ceramics prepared by sol gel derived nano powders

Lanthanum modified PZT (PLZT) ceramics were prepared with nano powders obtained by the sol gel method and its piezoelectric and pyroelectric behaviour was studied. The piezoelectric properties of the sol gel derived ceramics were compared with the ones prepared by the conventional oxide route. It was found that although the figures of merit of the sol gel derived ones were slightly better (10–15% increase), because of its higher density with respect to conventional ones. The pyroelectric properties of PLZT needs special mention because of its high detectivity and low noise levels. The results are tabulated in the paper and it indicates great figures of merit.

Na1−xLixNbO3 ceramics studied by X-ray diffraction, dielectric, pyroelectric, piezoelectric and Raman spectroscopy

Na_1−xLi_xNbO₃ ceramics with composition 0.05≤x≤0.30 were prepared by solid-state reaction method and sintered in the temperature range 1100-1150 °C. These ceramics were characterised by X-ray diffraction as well as dielectric permittivity measurements and Raman spectroscopy. Dielectric properties of ceramics belonging to the whole composition domain were investigated in a broad range of temperatures from 300 to 750 K and frequencies from 0.1 to 200 kHz. The Rietveld refinement powder X-ray diffraction analysis showed that these ceramics have a single phase of perovskite structure with orthorhombic symmetry for x≤0.15 and two phases coexistence of rhombohedral and orthorhombic above x=0.20. The evolution of the permittivity as a function of temperature and frequency showed that these ceramics Na_1−xLi_xNbO₃ with composition 0.05≤x≤0.15 present the classical ferroelectric character and the phase transition temperature T_C increases as x content increases. The polarisation state was checked by pyroelectric and piezoelectric measurements. For x=0.05, the piezoelectric coefficient d₃₁ is of 2pC/N. The evolution of the Raman spectra was studied as a function of temperatures and compositions. The results of the Raman spectroscopy study confirm our dielectric measurements, and they indicate clearly the transition from the polar ferroelectric phase to the non-polar paraelectric one.

Pyroelectric properties of BiFeO3 ceramics prepared by a modified solid-state-reaction method

BiFeO₃ (BFO) ceramics were prepared by a modified solid-state-reaction method which adopts a higher heating/cooling rate during the sintering process than usually used. It was found that the calcination temperature T _cal (from 400 to 750°C) does not influence the BFO phase formation, while the sintering temperature T _sin (from 815 to 845°C) dominates the phase purity. The optimum sintering temperature was in the range from 825 to 835°C. The optimized samples exhibit saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loops with a remnant polarization of 13.2 μC/cm². The measured piezoelectric coefficient d ₃₃ was 45 pC/N. No remnant magnetization was observed in all of the samples. The pyroelectric properties were studied as a function of temperature and frequency. A pyroelectric coefficient as high as 90 μC/m² K was obtained at room temperature in the optimized sample. An abrupt decrease of the pyroelectric coefficient was observed at temperatures between 70 and 80°C. On the basis of our results, BFO may have the potential for pyroelectric applications.
