Polycrystalline perovskite structured (Li[Formula: see text] (Na[Formula: see text] K[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text] (Nb[Formula: see text]Ta[Formula: see text] Sb[Formula: see text] O3 ceramics with [Formula: see text], 0.005 and 0.01 mole excess Na concentration were prepared by solid state sintering method. The present study relates the role of excess Na addition with the stoichiometry, density, structure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the samples. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern exhibits single phase orthorhombic structure. The characteristic Raman modes were observed due to translational modes of cations and vibrational modes of NbO6 octahedra and no structural phase transition were observed. This confirms the formation of single phase perovskite structure and is consistent with XRD results. The dielectric permittivity increases about two times, while dielectric loss decreases by four times for [Formula: see text] composition. The electrical measurements carried by Complex Impedance spectroscopic analysis suggest negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior.

Energy Formula

A single-phase lead-free ferroelectric compound, Fe[Formula: see text](NaLi)[Formula: see text]TiO3, is found at room temperature. The solid state reaction technique helps to process the sample at the calcination and sintering temperatures of 900 and 950[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]C for 4 h respectively. The desired phase and crystal structure formation of the prepared sample are confirmed by analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and are found to be in orthorhombic structure. The correlation among phase formation and physical properties has been established by using complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) method over a wide range of frequencies (from 100 Hz to 1 MHz) and different temperatures (25–280[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]C). The overlap depressed semicircular arcs represent the association of grain and grain boundary effects in the material. Activation energy [Formula: see text] is noted to be 1 eV for the prepared sample. The frequency dependent ac conductivity is followed by Jonscher’s universal power law. DC conductivity versus temperature graph also indicates the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior of the material.

Polycrystalline of [( Na 0.535 K 0.480)0.966 Li 0.058] (Nb 0.90 Ta 0.10) O 3 samples were prepared using the high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates the formation of a single-phase with orthorhombic structure. AC impedance plots were used as tool to analyze the electrical behavior of the sample as a function of frequency at different temperatures. The AC impedance studies revealed the presence of grain effect, from 425°C onwards. Complex impedance analysis indicated non-Debye type dielectric relaxation. The Nyquist plot showed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) characteristic of NKLNT. The AC conductivity results were used to correlate with the barrier hopping (CBH) model to evaluate the binding energy (Wm), the minimum hopping distance (R min ), the density of states at Fermi level (N(Ef)), and the activation energy of the compound.

The influence of (Li, Ce) doping on the electrical properties of bismuth layer Sr 2-x (Li, Ce) x/2 Bi4Ti5O18 [abbreviated to SBTi-(Li, Ce) X/2] ceramics was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that all the ceramic samples were single-phase compounds. The (Li, Ce) modification significantly decreased the dielectric loss of Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 ceramics and greatly improved the piezoelectric activity. At x/2 = 0.0125, the SBTi-(Li, Ce) x/2 ceramics exhibited the excellent properties with high remnant polarization (P r = 9.3 μC/cm2) and high Curie temperature (T c = 299°C). Meanwhile, the SBTi-(Li, Ce)0.0125 ceramics had the largest piezoelectric constant (d33 = 26 pC/N). The results showed that the SBTi-(Li, Ce) x/2 ceramic was a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

Forsterite single phase powder Mg2SiO4 was synthesized by sol–gel method alongside with heat treatment, using two different cation alkaline salts MCl as mineralizers (M = Na, K) with various mass percentages (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 wt.%). In this work, we report on the effect of the cation type and the added amount of used mineralizer on microstructure and electrical conductivity of Mg2SiO4. The formation of forsterite started at 680–740  °C and at 630–700  °C with KCl and NaCl respectively, as shown by TG-DTA and confirmed by XRD. Furthermore, the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) transmission spectra indicated bands corresponding to vibrations of forsterite structure. The morphology and elemental composition of sintered ceramics were examined by SEM-EDX analyses, while their densities, which were measured by Archimedes method, increased with addition of both alkaline salts. The electrical measurements were performed by Complex Impedance Spectroscopy. The results showed that electrical conductivity increased with the addition of both mineralizers, which was higher for samples prepared with NaCl than those prepared with KCl.

AbstractWe have grown SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films on various bottom electrodes such as Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si (Pt) and LaNiO3/Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si (LNO) substrates. The substrate temperature and oxygen pressure for the SBT film was maintained at 500 °C and 200 mTorr. As-grown films were post-annealed at a temperature of 800 °C. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that as-grown films were amorphous and crystallized to single phase after annealing. The difficulty of obtaining lowest Raman modes of SBT on platinized silicon substrate was overcome by using conducting oxide electrodes. Films grown on platinized silicon showed maximum value of remanent polarization (2Pr ∼ 21.5 μC/cm2) with coercive field (Ec) of ∼ 67 kV/cm. The degradation of ferroelectric properties of the films was observed with the introduction of 50 nm conducting LaNiO3 electrode at the interface of Pt and SBT film, which was attributed to high resistivity of the oxide electrode layers. Leakage current density was studied with the consideration of the Schottky emission model. The barrier height of the films grown on Pt and LNO were estimated to be 1.27 eV and 1.12 eV, respectively. The reduction of barrier height was attributed to the lower work function of the LNO electrode.

Orthorhombic Crystal Structure

The polycrystalline samples of Ba4CaRTi3Nb7O30 (R = Eu, Dy), members of tungsten-bronze family, were prepared by high-temperature solid state reaction method and studied for their dielectric and electrical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals the formation of single-phase compounds having orthorhombic crystal structure at room temperature. Microstructural analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that the compounds have well defined grains, which are distributed uniformly throughout the sample. Detailed dielectric properties of the compounds as a function of frequency and temperature show that the compounds undergo non-relaxor kind of ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition of diffuse nature. Ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric studies of the compounds have been discussed in this paper. The temperature dependence of dc conductivity of the compounds have been investigated. The conductivity study over a wide temperature range suggests that the compounds have negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behaviour.

We have investigated the microstructure and compositional distribution of the Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 9−x single phase superconductor with scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion x-ray spectrometry and x-ray diffraction. It has been found that the micro-region compositions are far front the ideal values, especially the yttrium content is quite higher than the suspected amount in the interfacial region. between crystalline grains. We propose that there might be another structural phase co-existed with the Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 9−x compound and it can not be distinguished from the main phase with diffraction methods. This phase would influence the properties, in particular the critical current density jc of the new superconductor.

Several compositions of BaTiO:Nb5+ were made by conventional solid-state method in air atmosphere, according to the general formula BaTi1-xNbxO3; (x= 0.005, 0.04, 0.08, 0.20, and 0.25). The crystal structure, microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of samples were investigated by XRD, Raman Spectroscopy, Electrical Measurements and SEM. X-ray diffraction results clearly indicated that when x ≥ 0.25 was prepared; the hexagonal phase Ba8Ti3Nb4O24 appeared. Electrical measurements at 1 kHz were carried out and several pellets were made, the relative permittivity was calculated. The dielectric constant of the pristine BaTiO3 is about 7000, and the Curie temperature is ≈120°C at room temperature, decreasing to 90°C with Nb5+ addition (x = 0.005).

AbstractPolycrystalline samples of Ba4SrRTi3V7O30 (R=Sm and Dy), members of the tungsten-bronze family, were prepared using a high-temperature, solid-state reaction technique and studied their electrical properties (using complex impedance spectroscopy) in a wide range of temperature (31–500°C) and frequency (1 kHz-1 MHz). Preliminary structural (XRD) analyses of these compounds show the formation of single-phase, orthorhombic structures at room temperature. The scanning electron micrographs (SEM) provided information on the quality of the samples and uniform distribution of grains over the entire surface of the samples. Detailed studies of the dielectric properties suggest that they have undergone ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition well above the room temperatures (i.e., 432 and 355°C for R= Sm and Dy, respectively, at frequency 100 kHz). Measurements of electrical conductivity (ac and dc) as a function of temperature suggest that the compounds have semiconducting properties much above the room temperature, with negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior. The existence of ferroelectricity in these compounds was confirmed from a polarization study.

Three series of NiMgCuZn ferrites were prepared by conventional double sintering ceramic process. The formation of single phase in these ferrites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. A brief review of the important investigations carried out on the internal friction behaviour of NiMgCuZnFe2O4, in the temperature range 40oC to 360oC, has been reported. In the present investigation, the composite piezoelectric resonator method has been used. The effect of compositional changes of ferrites on Curie temperature and internal friction are reported. Results and discussions on the temperature variation of internal friction of the three series of NiMgCuZnFe2O4samples are discussed. In all the series studied, only single stress induced relaxation peaks are observed. These studies were carried out to develop a ferrite composition for their use as core materials for microinductor applications. The results are explained in the light of structural phase transitions.
