Abstract

The lead–barium–zirconate–titanate (PBZT) ceramics of composition (Ba/Zr/Ti: 25/70/30) exhibit classical relaxor ferroelectric behaviour similar to other complex lead perovskites such as lead–lanthanum–zirconate–titanate or lead–magnesium–niobiate. Influence of Nb or La admixture on grain structure, dielectric and pyroelectric properties was showed earlier. The effect of simultaneously lanthanum and niobium modified PBZT 25/70/30 ceramics on properties have been studied and compared with earlier results. The influence of the additives on the values of characteristic parameters describing the relaxor behaviour of the studied ceramics (ε′maxε′max, Tm, Tf, TB) was determined.
