The paper discusses the features of the effect of modification with lithium carbonate on the dielectric dispersion of lead ferroniobate ceramics. The modifier has been previously shown to change the ways of the recrystallization sintering and therefore reduce the sintering temperature of the ceramics, increase their average grain size, and improve their dielectric and piezoelectric properties. In this study, the emphasis is placed on the analysis of the diffusion effects of the ferroelectric phase transition upon such modification considered from the standpoint of the chemical specifics of the modifier and its location in the structure of the parent compound.

Ba(Ti1−x−y SnxGey )O3 (BTSG-x-y; x = 0, 0.05; y = 0–0.05) powders were synthesized by a sol-gel (SG) method and for comparative purposes also by a mixed-oxide (MO) method. In this system, BaGeO3 functions as sintering additive. Due to smaller particle sizes of the SG powders a higher sintering activity was found, which resulted in reduced grain growth and in a more homogenous grain size distribution for the corresponding ceramics. The dependence on the paraelectric ⇆ ferroelectric phase transition, i.e. the phase transition temperature, thewidth of the transition region and completeness were examined by dielectric measurements,DTA as well as by SEM, EDX and XRD investigations with respect to the BaGeO3 content, synthesis method and sintering temperature. The phase transition temperatures of the SG ceramics are remarkably higher than those of the MO ceramics with the same nominal compositions. The reason is a lower tin concentration within the grains of SG ceramics as confirmed by EDX and XRD investigations. The presence of BaGeO3 in barium titanate–stannate system on the basis of a SG method caused an improved incorporation of tin in theBaTiO3 lattice.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

In this work, the (Ba1-xCax)(Ti1-yZry)O3 lead-free ceramics were prepared by the two-step sintering method, and effects of Ca and Zr contents on phase structure, densification, microstructure, and electrical properties were investigated. It was found that all samples showed orthorhombic phase. The highest density of 5.84 ± 0.01 g/cm3 was achieved in x = 0.05, y = 0.05 sample. The average grain size, phase transition temperature, dielectric and piezoelectric properties significantly decreased by introducing of the Ca/Zr content. The ceramics with a small amount of Ca and Zr maintain good piezoelectric properties, and a lower dielectric loss. The composition with x = 0.05, y = 0.025 demonstrated optimum electrical properties of d33 ∼211 pC/N, TC ∼ 119 °C, εr ∼ 1788, and tanδ ∼ 0.04.

In this study, the effects of sintering temperature on microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties are investigated for the non-stoichiometric (Na0.48K0.473Li0.04Sr0.007)(Nb0.883Ta0.05Sb0.06Ti0.007)O3 (NKLNTSST) piezoelectric ceramics. The results suggest that the piezoelectric properties are enhanced owing to the more normal ferroelectric characteristics, higher density, more uniform grains and presence of polymorphic phase transition regions, which are observed with an increase in the sintering temperature up to 1080?C. The piezoelectric properties are weakened owing to the larger degree of diffuse phase transition and more cationoxygen-vacancy pairs with an increase in the sintering temperature above 1080?C. The best piezoelectric properties including kp = 40%, d33 = 288 pC/N, ?max = 72.12, loss = 2.57%, Ec = 13.45 kV/cm and Pr = 10.23 ?C/cm2 are obtained at the sintering temperature of 1080?C.

AbstractThe proximity to structural phase transitions in IV-VI thermoelectric materials is one of the main reasons for their large phonon anharmonicity and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity κ. However, the κ of GeTe increases at the ferroelectric phase transition near 700 K. Using first-principles calculations with the temperature dependent effective potential method, we show that this rise in κ is the consequence of negative thermal expansion in the rhombohedral phase and increase in the phonon lifetimes in the high-symmetry phase. Strong anharmonicity near the phase transition induces non-Lorentzian shapes of the phonon power spectra. To account for these effects, we implement a method of calculating κ based on the Green-Kubo approach and find that the Boltzmann transport equation underestimates κ near the phase transition. Our findings elucidate the influence of structural phase transitions on κ and provide guidance for design of better thermoelectric materials.
