Different processing conditions and the effect of secondary phases on ferroelectric properties of Bi0.5(Na0.8K0.2)0.5TiO3(BNKT) are studied. Ceramic powders are prepared by solid state reaction and different sintering temperatures (temperatures between 1075 and 1150°C) are analyzed. Finally, samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman microspectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, impedance spectroscopy, and density measurements. Through XRD patterns, the perovskite structure is stabilized; together with small peaks corresponding to a secondary phase associated with K2-xNaxTi6O13phase. Moreover, the content of the secondary phase, d33piezoelectric constant and dielectric properties increase with sintering temperature.

In this present work, we adopt conventional solid state reaction techniques to obtain CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramics and the dielectric properties of polycrystalline CCTO samples sintered in the temperature range 900 − 1100°C were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show no obvious change in crystal phase with various sintering temperature. However, experimental results show that the dielectric properties of CCTO ceramics are very sensitive to processing parameters and the dependence of dielectric constant and loss tangent of CCTO ceramic on processing can be obtained. The effect of sintering conditions on the surface microstructures and the electrical properties of CCTO ceramics are also discussed in this study.

In this paper, the effects of different sintering temperature on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3(PNZZT) ceramic samples were investigated. The Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 ceramics materials was prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. In the period of the experiment, the relationship between crystallographic phase and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) respectively. The XRD patterns shows that all of the ceramic samples are with a tetragonal perovskite structure. Along with sintering temperature increased and the x is 0.03, the grain size gradually become big. Through this experiment, it has been found that when the x is 0.03 and sintered at 1130°C for 2 h, the grains grow well, the grain-boundary intersection of the sample combined well and the porosity of the ceramics decreased, an excellent comprehensive electrical properties of the Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 samples can be obtained. Its best electrical properties are as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1105, dielectric loss(tg) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.287, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 150PC/N

In this work, the properties of lead-free 0.92(Bi0.5Na0.42K0.08)TiO3-0.08(BaNb0.01Ti0.99)O3 or 92BNKT-8BNbT ceramic has been investigated. The sample was fabricated by a solid-state reaction technique. The 92BNKT-8BNbT sample was well sintered and dense with high density value of 5.86 g/cm3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed a single perovskite phase with tetragonal symmetry and no impurity or secondary phases. The microstructure was analysed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Average grain size was measured and calculated based on a mean linear intercept method. The ceramics had a cubic-like grain shape with an average grain size of 0.39 µm. The influence of temperature on the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the ceramic was investigated. The dielectric curves exhibited broad transition peaks at Td and Tm, which were the characteristics of a diffuse phase transition. The polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis loop changed from well-saturated at room temperature (RT) to pinched-type loop at high temperature (HT) and the remanent polarization decreased from 21.25 µC/cm2 (at RT) to 5.96 µC/cm2 (at 150 °C).

Perovskite-based (1-x) (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-x NaNbO3 [(1-x) NBT-x NN, x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4] ceramics were sintered at 1080°C. Dielectric characteristics, crystalline structures, and Raman investigations were carried out on (1-x) (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-x NaNbO3 ceramics. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that NaNbO3 ceramic would form a solid solution with (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 ceramic, and and unknown or second phases were not observable as well. NaNbO3 ceramic diffused into the crystalline structure of (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 ceramic and (1-x) NBT-x NN ceramics still revealed a rhombohedral structure. The temperature-dielectric constant curves showed that as NN content increased, the temperature to reveal the maximum dielectric constant (Tm) was raised, the depolarization temperature (Td) was shifted to lower value, and the dielectric constant at Tm and the loss tangent at Td gradually decreased. The Raman bands at 770 and 830 cm-1 were attributed to the existence of the oxygen vacancies. In this study, the relaxor-type ferroelectric properties of NBT ceramic had been improved as NN ceramic was added.

The manganite systems investigated during the present work are pure La0.85Te0.15MnO3 (LTMO) and its composite with 12% concentration of Al2O3 nano powder (LTMO + Al2O3). The materials were prepared by the modified auto combustion technique. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of pure LTMO at room temperature shows that sample is in single phase with no detectable secondary phases and the sample have a rhombohedral structure in hexagonal with the space group R3c. The XRD pattern of LTMO + 12% Al2O3 indicates the clear presence of Al2O3 nano phase in the composite. In the present study, the FTIR Spectroscopy of both samples was carried out. It is clear from the Vibrational assignment for the value of corresponding peak position of FTIR spectra that no extra unwanted impurity is present in samples. A quantitative analysis of the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data indicates that the observed concentration of elements are very close to the calculated values from its chemical formula. R-T measurements reveals that the addition of secondary phase in manganite strongly influenced on electronic and magnetoresistance behaviour. We summarise some of the salient features of the results.

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.

Nanocrystalline lead zirconate titanate (PZT) powders with composition at the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) were synthesized by a simple aqueous based sol-gel method, using lead nitrate, zirconium nitrate and tetrabutyl titanate as the starting materials. The sol could be easily transformed into gel, firstly heated at 120°C for 10h, then at 180°C for 24h. The thermal decomposition process of the gel was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The effect of citrate addition amount on the calcining temperature was discussed. The results reveal that pure perovskite phase PZT powders can be obtained at a calcining temperature as low as 600°C. The average grain size of the powders was determined by transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The influences of calcining temperature and the pH value of the solution on the grain size were investigated. The sintering temperature and electrical properties of the ceramics derived by nano-powders were compared with those prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The result shows that using the nanopowder, the sintering temperature could be reduced by about 100°C and the ferroelectric properties were enhanced.

In the research, the properties of barium titanate - bismuth sodium titanate [(1-x)BaTiO3-(x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3: (1-x)BT-(x)BNT] ceramics prepared by conventional mixed oxide method with various molecular weight of BNT or x between 0.0 and 0.3 were investigated. The optimum condition for calcined powders of x = 0.0 was found at 900 °C for 2 h, and x = 0.1 - 0.3 were found at 850 °C for 2h. The calcined powders were pressed and sintered at 1000 – 1200 °C for 2h. The phase structure was examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Density of sintered samples was measured by Archimedes method with distilled water as the fluid medium. It was found that, all various x of (1-x)BT-(x)BNT ceramics XRD patterns display the tetragonality increased with increasing sintering temperature. All the peaks shift to higher angles when increasing x value indicating the decrease of lattice parameter “a” and increase of lattice parameter “c”. The average grains size of (1-x)BT-(x)BNT ceramics was increased with increasing sintering temperature. The highest density was 5.53 g/cm3 and was obtained from the sample sintered at 1200 °C.

This paper focus on the effect of different ratio between barium (Ba) and titanium (Ti) to the production of high purity of barium titanate (BT). On this research, the sample was prepared by solid-state reaction between barium carbonate (BaCO3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder at constant sintering temperature of 1350 °C. The sample was prepared at different ratio of Ba:Ti which are 1:0.9, 1:0.95, 1:1, 1:1.05, 1:1.1. All sintered BT was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). All existed phase on these samples was determined and analyzed. Sample from ratio 1:1 produced almost a single phase of BT. While; samples from other ratio produce secondary phase which is barium orthotitanate (Ba2TiO4).

ABSTRACTSol-gel methods have been applied to the production of the multicomponent ceramic, Synroc B. These techniques involved the hydrolysis of a mixture of Ti and Zr, alkoxides peptising to form a sol and subsequent sorption of Al3+, Ba2+ and Ca2+ cations under acidic conditions. Powder properties were examined by a variety of techniques, including electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, N2 sorption, and differential thermal analysis. The effects of processing conditions on the physical properties of the powders are discussed.
