The structure stability、micro-structure and electrical properties of lithium doping on potassium sodium niobate ceramics (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 (NKN) were investigated in this study. Solid oxide mixing method with post calcination and sintering was employed to fabricate(Na0.5K0.5)(1-x) LixNbO3 ceramic. Lithium oxide was adopted as the sintering aids. For Li doping x=6 mol% in (Na0.5K0.5)(1-x) LixNbO3 ceramic a optimal crystallization and electrical properties could be achieved after 650°C calcination and 1060°C sintering. Ferroelectric properties of the lead-free ceramic behaved a coercive field of 12.5kV/cm and remanent polarization as high as 30uC/cm2.

Dy-doped Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique, and the structures and electrical properties of the films were investigated. XRD results indicated that all of Bi4-xDyxTi3O12 films consisted of single phase of a bismuth-layered structure with well-developed rod-like grains. The remanent polarization ( Pr ) and coercive field (Ec) of the Bi4-xDyxTi3O12 Film with x=0.75 were 25μC/cm2 and 85KV/cm , respectively.

(1-x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-xBaTiO3 (abbreviated as NBBT100(1-x)/100x or NBBT100x) solid solution single crystals with x=0, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.20, 1.0 were grown using top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. Dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of NBBT crystals were investigated as a function of temperature, frequency, composition and crystal orientation. The temperature (Tm) corresponding to dielectric maximum and the depolarization temperature (Td) decrease with increasing x. The <001> oriented NBBT90/10 single crystal shows excellent piezoelectric performance with piezoelectric constant (d33) value about 275pC/N and exhibits relatively smaller coercive field (Ec) of 2.49 kV/mm and dielectric loss tanδ of 2.9 %, indicating a more adaptive engineered domain structure.

AbstractMn-doped Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 (BLT) thin films were fabricated by depositing sol-gel solutions on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si <100> substrates. The surface morphology and ferroelectric properties of Mn-doped BLT films depend upon the orientation of the films. Small amount of Mn-doping in BLT films influences the ferroelectric properties of the films, that is, it enhances the remanent polarization and reduces the coercive field. The 1% Mn-doped BLT films show enhanced remanent polarization and reduced the coercive field by about 22%. To the contrary, Mn-doping more than 1% decreases polarization gradually. Mn-doping significantly improves the fatigue resistance of BLT films. The reduced polarization in the 3.3% Mn-doped thin film recovers during switching cycles higher than 5 × 105. Under high switching field, the probability of field-assisted unpinning of domains is expected to be high and this may be the main cause for increase in polarization after 5 × 105 in the 3.3% Mn-doped BLT film.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric Bi2 SrTa2 O9 thin films were successfully prepared by liquid delivery MOCVD, and structural and electrical properties were investigated. As-deposited films showed sharp distinct peaks, which were indexed assuming a fluorite-type structure. These precursors were transformed to bismuth-layered structures by annealing at 800 °C in flowing oxygen. Reasonable ferroelectric properties were observed in a film with 170 nm-thickness. Remanent polarization and coercive field were estimated to be 5.2 μC/cm2 and 52 kV/cm, respectively, at 5V.

The properties of modified Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based lead-free ceramics were investigated. The BNT-based ceramics were prepared by a solid-state mixed oxide method Phase formation was determined by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The X-ray diffraction analysis of the ceramics suggested that all samples exhibited a perovskite structure without second phase. The value of dielectric constant increased with increasing in sintering temperature. Moreover, high sintering temperatures could improve ferroelectric properties of BNT base lead-free ceramics.

The heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were fabricated by screen printing techniques on alumina substrates electrodes with Pt . Their structure and ferroelectric properties were investigated with the heterolayered tetragonal/rhombohedral structure composed of the BT and the BNT thick films. The structural and electrical properties of the heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were studied. The dielectric properties such as dielectric constant, loss and remanent polarization of the heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were superior to those of single composition BNT, and those values for the heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were 1455, 0.025 and 12.63 µC/cm2.

There is a concerted effort to develop lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-based ceramics have good electrical properties, and are a potential replacement material for lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramics. In this work a commercial powder based on (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 with an initial particle size of ∼260 nm was consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). To avoid volatilization, high mechanical pressures were used to minimize the densification temperature. It was found that under a uniaxial pressure of 100 MPa, fully densified compacts can be prepared at 850 °C. Ceramics densified at such a low temperature demonstrate an unusually high remanent polarization (30 μC/cm2) and high d33 (146 pC/N). The improved ferroelectric properties are ascribed to the homogeneous, dense, and submicron grained microstructure achieved.
