Abstract
Lanthanum modified Ba0.80Pb0.20Ti0.90Zr0.10O3 (BPZT) ceramics with composition Ba0.80âxLax Pb0.20Ti0.90Zr0.10O3; x = 0-0.01 in steps of 0.0025 were prepared by conventional solid state method. All the samples were sintered at 1325 °C after compacting in circular discs. Detailed structural and ferroelectric properties were carried out for sintered specimens. X-ray diffraction analysis for all the sintered specimens shows tetragonal structure with perovskite. Coercive field (Ec) and remanent polarization (Pr) to spontaneous polarization (Ps) ratio (Pr/Ps) was found to decrease with increase in temperature. Pr/Ps ratio was found to decrease with increase in x, except x = 0.0025.
