Effect of neodymium substitution on structural and ferroelectric properties of BNT ceramics
چکیده انگلیسی


• First time, we synthesized (Bi1−xNdx)0.5Na0.5TiO3 system by semi wet technique.
• Grain size reduced with doping and Nd acts as an inhibitor in the grain growth.
• Specimen with x = 0.02 exhibits excellent ferroelectric properties at RT.
• P–E loops show the co-existence of polar and non polar regions around ‘Td’.

Polycrystalline specimens of (Bi1−xNdx)0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNNT) ceramic system with compositions x ≤ 0.04 were synthesized by semi-wet technique using ethylene glycol precursor. Structural and electrical properties were investigated in detail to observe the effect of neodymium (Nd) substitution in BNT system. XRD patterns for all the specimens showed single phase formation with rhombohedral structure. Field emission scanning electron micrographs (FE-SEM) revealed that the grain growth was inhibited significantly with Nd content. The temperature dependence behaviour of dielectric constant revealed that the depolarisation temperature ‘Td’ decreases whereas temperature of maximum dielectric constant ‘Tm’ increases with Nd concentration. The piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33) showed maxima at x = 0.02 and well defined ferroelectric behaviour was observed for all the samples.
