Abstract
In this work, Nb5+ doped CCTO ceramic with high dielectric constant (ɛr) and a very low dielectric loss (tanδ) is reported. Powder XRD analysis confirmed the cubic perovskite structure and the Rietveld profile shows the goodness of fit below 2. The XPS analysis confirmed the presence of Ca 2p, La 3d, Cu 2p, Ti 2p, O 1 s, and C 1 s, all of which exhibited their expected oxidation states. The SEM micrographs revealed a grain size of 1.01 ± 0.07 μm for pure and 1.77 ± 0.13 μm for Nb5+doped CCTO. The Nb5+doped CCTO exhibited high ɛr ≈ 1.26 × 105 at 50 Hz with low tanδ ≈ 0.85 at 1 kHz for 673 K in comparison with pure CCTO. The Nyquist plots established a deviation from Debye type relaxation with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) type behaviour.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
