Barium calcium titanate (Ba0.96Ca0.04)(Zr0.05Ti0.95)O3 ferroelectric ceramics were prepared by sol–gel technique. The ceramics were sintering at 1290°C-1370°C. X-ray diffraction was employed to investigate the microstructure, and the surface topography was investigated by SEM graphs. The dielectric constant vs temperature was measured by Temperature dielectric spectrometer, and TF Analyzer 2000 measured the ferroelectric properties. It can be found that all the ceramics show pure perovskite structure suggesting that solid solution were formed. SEM showed that the samples uniform in grain size at 1330 °C. Our study revealed that when the sintering temperature is 1330 °C the maximum dielectric constant was 29,600, the maximum piezoelectric coefficient d33 could reach 399pm/V and the remanent polarization (Pr) was 8.3 μc/cm2, respectively.

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.

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.

Ferroelectric And Piezoelectric Properties

The(1-x)BaTi0.8Zr0.2O3-xBa0.7Ca0.3TiO3 ceramics have been prepared by sol-gel technique, where x is from 0.2 to 0.6. It reveals that the dense ceramics can be obtained when the sintered temperature is above 1250°C. It is lower than that of solid state reaction ceramics. In particular, when x=0.3, at which is near the MPB composition, the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties are more excellent than the others. The maximum dielectric constant is above 9000, which can be observed in the butterfly shape curves of dielectric constant as a function of electric field. The maximum piezoelectric coefficient d33 can reach 400 pm/V, and it is obtained from the piezoelectric response loops.

The highest piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) occur in vicinity of morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). In MPB, crystalline phase ratios play a crucial role in determining the dielectric properties. In this paper, PZT nanoparticles were synthesized by a modified sol gel procedure and the effects of different solvents of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and acetic acid on tetragonal, rhombohedral, and monoclinic phase ratios near the Pb (Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 were investigated. The X-ray diffraction results show the formation of almost pure perovskite structure in all samples. The volume fraction of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases, lattice constants, and lattice distortion were measured from the X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopic analysis for each solvent. Also, the domain size was compared between the solvents. A trace amount of monoclinic phase could be detected by Raman spectroscopy. The results show that acetic acid is the most appropriate solvent for synthesizing of PZT nanoparticles in which the tetragonal lattice parameters are ct=4.16 Ǻ and at=4.02 Ǻ with a distortion of 3%. The tetragonal volume fraction is estimated about 77%. The particle size and degree of agglomeration were measured according to field emission electron microscopy and indicates that 70 nm particles were formed for acid-based sample.

NiTiSMA/FC composites have been prepared by depositing ferroelectric ceramics films on NiTi shape memory alloy substrate with the sol-gel method. Heterojunction structure of the composites has been characterized by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The differences of the damping capacities between NiTiSMA/FC composites and NiTiSMA substrates have been tested by the Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer. The results show pure perovskite structure could be obtained in the FC films part of NiTiSMA/FC composites sintered at 650oC. The transitional TiO2 layer produced in-situ by the oxidation of the surface of the NiTiSMA substrate improves the combined function between the ceramic film and NiTiSMA substrate. When the temperature is lower than 20oC, the tanδ of NiTiSMA/FC composites is stabilized at 3.5%, the vibration frequencies (within 0.33-10Hz) have a small effect on damping capacities. Within the temperature of 20-40oC, there is a tanδ peak up to 5.0%.The damping capacities of NiTiSMA/FC composites are better than the pure NiTiSMA materials.

ABSTRACTSrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) samples have been prepared by sol-gel technique with varying amount of excess Bi added to the starting composition. The excess Bi profoundly affects the dielectric and ferroelectric properties. The dielectric constant (ε) and remnant polarization increases from 80 and 1.4 μ C/cm2 for SBT with 1 mole % of excess Bi to 120 and 6.5 μ C/cm2 for SBT with 20 mole % of excess Bi. The Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy images and the x-ray diffraction analysis show an improvement in structural quality of the samples with addition of excess Bi to the starting composition. The effect of Mn doping has also been studied by preparing SrBi2Ta2-x Mnx O9 (SBT-Mn) with x = 0 – 0.1. In the case of SBT-Mn samples, the XRD spectra revealed an unknown phase when x > 0.025. However, Raman spectra reveal the retention of Bi layer structure for all Mn compositions, with possibly small distortions. With Mn addition, ε increased to ∼ 140 for x < 0.005, but decreased to ≤ 120 when x > 0.015. The value of ε is independent of frequency from 60 to 85 kHz for all compositions of Mn. The effect of Mn addition resulted in a strong decrease in the area of the hysteresis loops.
