Abstract
Perovskite samples of Ba0.9La0.1Ti(1-x)CoxO3 [x = 0.0–0.10 in the step of 0.02] were synthesized using the solid-state reaction (SSR) method. The impact of cobalt (Co) contents (x) on the optical, magnetic, dielectric, and structural characteristics was thoroughly investigated. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis indicates a lower degree of tetragonal structure with sharp diffraction peaks, which turns the tetragonal phase to a cubic phase with Co contents. With the increase of Co concentration, the XRD peaks (dominant plane 101) shift toward smaller angles, suggesting an increase in unit cell volume and lattice size. The formation of the TiO6 octahedron is verified using Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, which reveals absorption bands at 518 cm−1 and 356 cm−1, indicating Ti–O stretching (υ1) and bending vibrations (υ2), respectively. The materials were analyzed for their morphological structure using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The UV–visible spectra reveal the presence of a prominent absorbance peak in the ultraviolet area, as well as a bandgap energy ranging from 3.09eV to 3.83eV, which varies depending on the doping concentrations. Magnetic measurement showed weak ferromagnetic behaviour of the samples at fixed temperatures of 5K and 300K; when x = 0, magnetic saturation of the samples occurs at both temperatures. However, when 'x' is increased, all the samples become saturated at higher temperatures but do not saturate at low temperatures. The measurements of dielectric constants indicate that at high frequencies, a negative dielectric constant of Lorentzian nature exists. The dielectric transition occurs along with insulator-conductor conversion in Ba0.9La0.1TiO3/Cobalt ceramic. These findings open up scopes for utilizing this ferroelectric material in many applications, such as microwave filters, resonant cavities, electromagnetic wave absorption, and radio frequency devices.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
