Ferroelectric And Piezoelectric Properties

Piezoelectricity is one of the renewable and clean electrical energy sources, as it is generated from materials specially manufactured for this purpose in proportions and scales called piezoelectric materials, that is, electricity resulting from mechanical work that produces the electric field, and this is known as the direct piezoelectric effect. An inverse mechanical effect can also be observed when an electric field is applied to the same piezoelectric material that deforms and returns to its original shape after the electric field is removed. In order to contribute to improving the properties of these materials that have been prepared from insulating ceramic materials having an equivalent formula: Pb0.975 La0.015 Nd0.01 [(Zr 0,524 Ti 0,476) 0.9875 -3/4 z Nb0.005 Crz]O3 abbreviated PLNZCNT (z = 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25%, 1,5% and 2%). The formation of pure single-phase perovskite compounds of tetragonal symmetry for all samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzes. The scanning electron micrographs show that the grains have melted, most of the separating walls have disappeared, and the average grain size has increased. Information about the effects of chromium concentration on the measured properties was obtained based on temperature and frequency measurements of the dielectric properties of PLNZNT ceramics, represented by an increase in Curie temperature with increasing Cr3+ concentration. The ferroelectric properties of materials are characterized by the presence of a polarization hysteresis cycle as a function of the applied electric field (P-E). To measure the piezoelectric and electromechanical properties at room temperature, was used by the standard resonance and anti-resonance method. It was found that the sample E2 (0.75%) sintered at 1200°C achieves excellent dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties (𝜺r=24394.51, tan δ =0.072 and Tc = 378K). The values of saturated electric polarization (Ps=29.61 µC/cm²), remnant electric polarization (Pr=24.63 µC/cm²) and coercive electric field (Ec=0.905kV/mm), as well as piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33 = 435 pC/N) for sample E2 (0.75%).

Ferroelectric And Piezoelectric Properties

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Pure bismuth layered structural ceramics with uniform gain size were obtained in all samples. The effect of Gd-doping on the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 ceramics were also investigated. It was found that that Gd3+ dopant gradually decreased the Curie temperature (Tc) with the lower dielectric loss (tand) of SBTi ceramics. In addition, Gd-doping with appropriate content improved the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the SBTi ceramics. The piezoelectric constant (d33) of the Sr2Bi3.9Gd0.1Ti5O18 ceramic reached the maximum value, which is 22 pC/N. The results showed that the Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 ceramic was a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

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).

Pr -doped Pb ( Zr 0.65 Ti 0.35) O 3 ( Pb 1-x Pr x( Zr 0.65 Ti 0.35)1-x/4 O 3, PPZT) ceramic samples are prepared using conventional solid-state sintering method, and their structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties are investigated, focusing on the effects of Pr -doping. Upon increasing Pr doping level x, a transition of the crystallographic structure from rhombohedral symmetry to tetrahedral and finally to pseudocubic symmetry is observed at x ~ 0.08. The detailed dielectric measurements present a clear indication of relaxor-like behaviors at x = 0.08, while the samples at x < 0.08 offer slightly improved ferroelectric properties compared with pure Pb ( Zr 0.65 Ti 0.35) O 3. In spite of the dielectric relaxor behaviors induced by Pr -doping, both the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of PPZT are degraded at x = 0.08. The physics underlying the Pr -doping induced relaxor behaviors is then discussed.

Abstract Multiferroic materials, showing ordering of both electrical and magnetic degrees of freedom, are promising candidates enabling the design of novel electronic devices. Various mechanisms ranging from geometrically or spin-driven improper ferroelectricity via lone-pairs, charge-order or -transfer support multiferroicity in single-phase or composite compounds. The search for materials showing these effects constitutes one of the most important research fields in solid-state physics during the last years, but scientific interest even traces back to the middle of the past century. Especially, a potentially strong coupling between spin and electric dipoles captured the interest to control via an electric field the magnetization or via a magnetic field the electric polarization. This would imply a promising route for novel electronics. Here, we provide a review about the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of various multiferroic systems ranging from type I multiferroics, in which magnetic and ferroelectric order develop almost independently of each other, to type II multiferroics, which exhibit strong coupling of magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. We thoroughly discuss the dielectric signatures of the ferroelectric polarization for BiFeO3, Fe3O4, DyMnO3 and an organic charge-transfer salt as well as show electric-field poling studies for the hexagonal manganites and a spin-spiral system LiCuVO4.

Abstract A series of 0.65(Bi0.5 Na0.5 )TiO3 -0.35(Sr0.7+x +Bi0.2 )TiO3 (BNT-S0.7+x BT) composite ceramic pellets are synthesized using the traditional solid sintering method, where a tunable x, that is the changeable volume of Sr, is expected to tailor energy storage through the adjustments of the A-site stoichiometry in BNT-S0.7+x BT. We find that a small excess of Sr2+ ions results in an extensively tunning on the crystal grain size and even contributes to the A-site disorder and charge fluctuation of BNT-S0.7+x BT. As such, the BNT-S0.7+x BT exhibits a minimum average grain size and a highly compact crystal morphology. Meanwhile, a relatively thin polarization-electric field (P-E) loop with a high maximum polarization of 42μC/cm2 and a low remnant electric polarization of 5μC/cm2 are obtained in a BNT-S0.75 BT sample under 100 kV/cm, which corresponds to a large energy density of 9.81 J cm-3 . Attractively, this ceramic possesses an excellent temperature stability of polarization performances and strain under high electric field of 100kV/cm, which favors of the energy storage of relaxor ferroelectric ceramics and is valuable to a supercapacitor serving at evaluated high temperature.

Structures, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.90Ba0.10TiO3 ceramic sintered at different temperatures were investigated. The results confirm an important role of sintering temperature on the structure and electrical properties of the ceramic. It was found that the increase of sintering temperature in the range of 1110-1160 promoted the development of crystal structure and microstructural densification, leading to an improvement in ferroelectric properties, poling process and piezoelectric properties. Further increase of the sintering temperature above 1160 resulted in a slight deformation of ceramic specimens. With respect to sintering behavior and piezoelectric properties, a relatively narrow sintering temperature range near 1150 was ascertained to be preferred for the ceramic.

Ferroelectric And Piezoelectric Properties

Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) possesses superior ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties arisen near a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition, PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 . We have prepared a PZT (MPB composition) thin film and perovskite-type LaNiO3 (LNO) electrodes on Si substrate by chemical solution deposition (CSD) method. The CSD-derived LNO bottom electrode applied compressive stress to the PZT film and enhanced the ferroelectric properties of the PZT film. TEM and SAED revealed that stress distribution and microstructures of the PZT/LNO/ Si films effectively influenced the ferroelectric properties.
