Structural and dielectric properties of Pb(Li1/4Dy1/4W1/2)O3

The polycrystalline samples of Pb(Li_1/4Dy_1/4W_1/2)O₃ have been synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction techniques. Room temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies of the compound provided preliminary structural data, and hence formation of a single phase desired material was confirmed. Detailed studies of dielectric constant (ε) and loss (tanδ) as a function of frequency (100 Hz to 10 kHz) at room temperature (298 K) and also as a function of temperature (liquid nitrogen to 403 K) at 10 kHz suggest that the compound undergoes a ferroelectric phase transition of diffuse type.

AC conductivity and dielectric relaxation in Ba(Sm1/2Nb1/2)O3 ceramic

The complex perovskite oxide a barium samarium niobate (BSN) synthesized by solid-state reaction technique has single phase with cubic structure. The scanning electron micrograph of the sample shows the average grain size of BSN∼1.22 μm. The field dependence of dielectric response and loss tangent were measured in the temperature range from 323 to 463 K and in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 1 MHz. The complex plane impedance plots show the grain boundary contribution for higher value of dielectric constant in the low frequency region. An analysis of the dielectric constant (ε′) and loss tangent (tan δ) with frequency was performed assuming a distribution of relaxation times as confirmed by the scaling behaviour of electric modulus spectra. The low frequency dielectric dispersion corresponds to DC conductivity. The logarithmic angular frequency dependence of the loss peak is found to obey the Arrhenius law with an activation energy of 0.71 eV. The frequency dependence of electrical data is also analyzed in the framework of conductivity and electric modulus formalisms. Both these formalisms show qualitative similarities in relaxation times. The scaling behaviour of imaginary part of electric modulus M″ and dielectric loss spectra suggest that the relaxation describes the same mechanism at various temperatures in BSN. All the observations indicate the polydispersive relaxation in BSN.     

Electrical and dielectric properties of Na_(1/2)La_(1/2)Cu_3Ti_4O_(12) ceramics prepared by high energy ball-milling and conventional sintering

We report on the measurements of the electrical and dielectric properties of Na_(1/2)La_(1/2)Cu_3Ti_4O_(12)(NLCTO) ceramics prepared by high energy ball-milling and conventional sintering without any calcination steps. The x-ray powder diffraction analysis shows that pure perovskite-like CCTO phase is obtained after sintering at 1025?C–1075?C. Higher sintering temperatures result in multi-phase ceramics due to thermal decomposition. Scanning electron microscope observations reveal that the grain size is in a range of ~ 3 μm–5 μm for these ceramics. Impedance spectroscopy measurements performed in a wide frequency range(1 Hz–10 MHz) and at various temperatures(120 K–470 K) are used to study the dielectric and electrical properties of NLCTO ceramics. A good compromise between high ε(5.7 × 10~3 and 4.1 × 10~3 at 1.1 k Hz and 96 k Hz, respectively) and low tan δ(0.161 and 0.126 at 1.1 k Hz and 96 k Hz, respectively) is obtained for the ceramic sintered at 1050℃. The observed high dielectric constant behavior is explained in terms of the internal barrier layer capacitance effect.     

Electromechanical properties and dielectric behavior of (Bi1/2Na1/2)(1−1.5x)BixTiO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

Bismuth doped bismuth sodium titanate ceramics [(Bi_1/2Na_1/2)_(1−1.5x)Bi_xTiO₃, x=0 to 0.06] were prepared, and the resulting effects on the microstructure and dielectric properties were examined. All of the Bi-doped ceramics exhibited a single phase of perovskite structure with rhombohedral symmetry. The poling leakage current was significantly reduced by the doping of Bi, facilitating the poling process of the ceramics. The doping with Bi enhances the piezoelectric properties and increases the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the ceramics. At 2 mol% Bi-doping level, the ceramics exhibit a large remanent polarization of 47 μC/cm² and a relatively low coercive field of 71 kV/cm, while their d₃₃ and k_p reach a maximum value of 95 pC/N and 21%, respectively.     

A comparative study of dielectric and Raman spectroscopy of Pb(Y b1/2Ta1/2)O3 and Pb(Y b1/2Nb1/2)O3

A comparative study of the properties of two highly ordered lead based complex perovskites Pb(Y b_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃ and Pb(Y b_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃ has been carried out through x-ray diffraction, dielectric and Raman scattering measurements. These two compounds differ significantly in their structure, dielectric response and phonon vibration although the ionic radii and valencies are same for Ta and Nb. The room temperature x-ray diffraction pattern and Raman spectra show that the symmetry of lead ytterbium tantalate is lower than that of lead ytterbium niobate. The Raman spectra of Pb(Y b_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃ also indicates the presence of local distortion in the lattice which may be one of the factors responsible for the existence of a secondary transition.     

Mechanisms of dielectric polarization in perovskite ceramics of the relaxor ferroelectrics (1 ? x)(NaBi)1/2TiO3?x Bi(ZnTi)1/2O3 (x < 0.2)

This paper reports on the results of the investigation into the dielectric properties of perovskite ceramics of the relaxor ferroelectrics (1 ? x)(NaBi)_1/2TiO_3?x Bi(ZnTi)_1/2O₃ (x < 0.2) with the use of the impedance spectra measured in the frequency range from 25 to 106 Hz at temperatures from 100 to 1000 K. It has been found that the temperature dependence of the real part of the permittivity is characterized by a maximum at a temperature T?? _m (590?C610 K). It has been shown that, in the temperature region of the existence of the relaxor state (T < T?? _m ), the permittivity ? is determined by the sum of the contributions from the matrix and dipole clusters. The temperature dependence of the contribution from the clusters, which is determined by the kinetics of their formation and freezing, is characterized by a curve with a maximum. It has been revealed that, in the temperature range T > T?? _m , there are two mechanisms of polarization. One mechanism is associated with the thermal hopping motion of charges, whereas the other mechanism provides an induction-type response (system with a negative capacitance). The latter makes a negative contribution to the real part of the permittivity ? and a positive contribution to the imaginary part of the permittivity. A quantitative analysis of the experimental data has been carried out with the use of an equivalent circuit that includes a constant-phase element of the induction type.     

Optical and dielectric properties of mixed lead halides PbCl2xBr2(1-x)

Abstract

The determination of the static dielectric constant ?_s at low frequencies of the mixed lead halides PbCl_2xBr_2(1-x) vs. the composition x shows the existence of a discontinuity for the equimolar composition. A discontinuity is also observed for the same composition for the shift of the energetic position of the first excitonic reflectivity peak. This discontinuity is interpreted in terms of the anionic substitution.     

Facile preparation and performance of novel high-TC xBi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3-(1-x)Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3 piezoceramics

High Curie temperature (T_C) xBi(Ni_1/2Ti_1/2)O₃-(1-x)Pb(Zr_1/2Ti_1/2)O₃ (xBNT-(1-x)PZT, BNT-PZT) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The composition-induced morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) and its influences on structure and electrical performance were investigated. The synthesized BNT-PZT ceramics exhibit rather pure perovskite structure, and densified microstructure morphology with uniform elementals distribution in both grains and grain boundaries. With increasing the content of Bi(Ni_1/2Ti_1/2)O₃ (BNT), crystal structure of the BNT-PZT ceramics transform from tetragonal phase to rhombohedral phase, and dielectric response peaks change from narrow shape to very broad shape but all presenting dielectric frequency dispersion. The diffused and relaxation dielectric behavior can be fitted well by the quadratic law, and the Vogel-Fulcher law fitting provides additional information on the relaxation characteristic. The MPB effects are confirmed further by ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties measurements. High-T_C combined with excellent piezoelectric performance can be realized in the BNT-PZT system, which presents promising applications in geothermal exploration, aerospace and related elevated temperatures fields.     

Low-frequency dielectric dispersion and magnetic properties of La,Gd modified Pb(Fe1/2Ta1/2)O3 multiferroics

Pb(Fe_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃ (PFT) modified by rare-earth (La and Gd) ions has been synthesized in a single phase using a double-stage synthesis (i.e., Columbite) technique. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of the pellet samples have shown a significant change in their grain size and uniform distribution of Gd/La at the Fe-sites. The room temperature X-ray structural analysis shows that the reported cubic (or tetragonal) structure of PFT has been distorted to a monoclinic system on substitution of La/Gd at the Fe-site. Detailed studies of dielectric properties of the above compound on La/Gd substitution have shown strong dielectric dispersion at low frequency (i.e. relaxor behavior) with drastic change in transition temperature. Magnetic characterization shows that though the PFT sample displays an antiferromagnetic transition at ∼150 K, the rare-earth ions-substituted samples do not. Furthermore, temperature dependence of magnetization measurements shows that spin glass transition observed in PFT at low temperatures (5–20 K) does not exist in the La and Gd substituted PFT. Doping of Gd in PFT increases the sample magnetization, especially at low temperature.

Ferromagnetic domain structures and nanoclusters in Nd(1/2)Sr(1/2)MnO3

Magnetic domain structures of Nd(1/2)Sr(1/2)MnO3 were investigated by means of low-temperature Lorentz electron microscopy. On cooling, magnetic domain walls started to appear at 250 K, and they were oriented straight along the [100] and [110] directions. With a further decrease in temperature, the volume of each magnetic domain increased with discontinuous domain-wall jumps. A characteristic granular image was observed at around 140 K, near the charge-ordering transition temperature. We consider that this originated from ferromagnetic nanoclusters that appeared in the antiferromagnetic matrix.     

Crystal structures and phonon modes of Ba(Ca1/2W1/2)O3, Ba(Ca1/2Mo1/2)O3 and Ba(Sr1/2W1/2)O3 complex perovskites investigated by Raman scattering

This work investigates the crystal structures and phonon modes of Ba(Ca_1/2W_1/2)O₃, Ba(Ca_1/2Mo_1/2)O₃ and Ba(Sr_1/2W_1/2)O₃ perovskites by Raman spectroscopy. The samples were produced by conventional solid‐state processing at 1200 °C. X‐ray diffraction showed that single‐phase homogeneous materials were produced, which are cubic or pseudo‐cubic in symmetry. The existing controversies in the literature for these complex perovskites were investigated by comparing experimental Raman data with group‐theory analysis. Ceramics with Ca and W or Mo were found to be cubic, space group Fm3 m. For these materials, four Raman‐active bands were observed and the fitting parameters showed that the Ba(Ca_1/2Mo_1/2)O₃ ceramic presents bands at lower wavenumbers if compared with the Ba(Ca_1/2W_1/2)O₃ sample. For the Ba(Sr_1/2W_1/2)O₃ material, two hypotheses were investigated for monoclinic or triclinic structures. The experimental results showed 12 Raman‐active modes for this ceramic, which is in perfect agreement with the theoretical predictions for a monoclinic (I2/m) structure.

Phase transformation behavior and dielectric characteristics of BaTi1−x(Al1/2Nb1/2)xO3 (0.01≤x≤0.40) ceramics

Microstructure, phase transformation behavior and dielectric properties of BaTi_1−x(Al_1/2Nb_1/2)_xO₃ (0.01≤x≤0.40) ceramics were investigated. A high level of (Al_1/2Nb_1/2)⁴⁺ substitution for Ti⁴⁺ ions was not conducive to the stability of the perovskite structure and resulted in the formation of BaAl₂O₄. As x was increased, lattice constants and unit cell volume decreased, reached a minimum at x=0.10 and then increased. The BaTi_1−x(Al_1/2Nb_1/2)_xO₃ ceramics at room temperature experienced a transformation from ferroelectric to paraelectric phase with increasing (Al_1/2Nb_1/2)⁴⁺ concentration. Meanwhile, permittivity of the BaTi_1−x(Al_1/2Nb_1/2)_xO₃ ceramics was markedly reduced, while Q value was slightly increased. Frequency dispersion of dielectric peak was obviously increased as x was increased from 0.01 to 0.10. It is of great interest that a dielectric abnormity represented by a broad dielectric peak at 200-400 K was observed for the composition with x=0.40.     

Studies on structural and dielectric properties of Na1/2Dy1/2TiO3 ceramic

The polycrystalline sample of Na_1/2Dy_1/2TiO₃ ceramic was prepared by a standard high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray structural analysis confirmed the formation of single-phase (with minor secondary phase) compound in the orthorhombic (distorted tetragonal) crystal system at room temperature. Study of surface morphology by scanning electron microscope exhibits uniform distribution of rectangular/cubical grains with less voids. The elemental composition of the prepared compound was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy microanalysis. Detailed studies of dielectric properties exhibit a dielectric anomaly at 94 °C suggesting a possible ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition in the compound. The activation energy (E_a), calculated from the temperature dependence of ac conductivity plot, was found to be small (∼0.1 eV) in low temperature and large (∼0.5 eV) in high temperature region.     

Structural and dielectric studies of lead-free ceramics: Na1/2Y1/2TiO3

The polycrystalline samples of Na_1/2Y_1/2TiO₃ were prepared by the mixed-oxide method. A preliminary X-ray structural analysis was shown to exhibit the formation of a single-phase compound with an orthorhombic structure. Microstructural analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) exhibits well defined grains distributed uniformly through out the sample suggesting the compactness and homogeneity of the sample. Detailed studies of dielectric properties of Na_1/2Y_1/2TiO₃ in a wide frequency range (102–106 Hz) at different temperatures (31–500°C) show a dielectric anomaly at 105°C, which may be related to a ferroelectricparaelectric phase transition as suggested by hysteresis loop at room temperature. An ac conductivity (σ _ac) of the material is mainly governed by the polaron hopping mechanism, which is also influenced by both frequency and temperature. The activation energy was obtained from the plot of temperature with a.c. conductivity.      

Low- and infralow-frequency dielectric properties of the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 + 2 wt % Li2O ceramics

A dielectric response of the Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ ferroelectric ceramics with impurity of 2 wt % Li has been studied. The phase transition has been found to exhibit a relaxor character, as is the case in PMN without Li. However, unlike pure PMN, the dielectric response dispersion in PMN + 2 wt % Li₂O has been described by the Cole-Cole equation at temperatures below the temperature of the low-frequency maximum of the permittivity. An analysis of the dispersion parameters in a wide temperature range has demonstrated that it can be due to the relaxation of domain walls in PMN + 2 wt % Li₂O that appear most likely because of the existence of anomalously coarse grains in PMN + 2 wt % Li₂O.
