Abstract
The present work reports the structural, dielectric, and electrocaloric properties of Ba-doped (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.8Sr0.2TiO3 (BNST) synthesized by the solid-state reaction route. Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction data is used to analyze the influence of Ba doping on the lattice parameters, crystallite size, and lattice strain of BNST. The dielectric characteristics of the Ba-doped BNST samples are analyzed in terms of complex permittivity, AC conductivity, and complex impedance. The dynamic properties of dipoles and the conduction charges are investigated from the frequency-dependent (100 Hz–1 MHz) dielectric response. Electrocaloric properties are assessed by the indirect method using the Maxwell equation. Polarization of pure and Ba-substituted BNST varies in a complex manner as a function of temperature leading to positive and negative electrocaloric effects in different temperature ranges within room temperature-160 °C, beneficial for exploiting the increasing and decreasing, both, cycles of the applied electric field for producing cooling effect. The dipolar entropy is consistent with the literature.
