Impact of Ca2+ substitution on the dielectric and ferroelectric behavior of BaTi0.95Sn0.05O3: A study of electron density distribution
In this study, lead-free Ba1-xCaxTi0.95Sn0.05O3 (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) ceramics were prepared using the conventional solid-state sintering route. The effects of Ca2+ doping at the A-site on the structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and electrostrain properties were investigated. XRD, Rietveld refinement, and Raman spectra results revealed the coexistence of orthorhombic (O) and tetragonal (T) phases within the composition range of 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10. The covalent bond between Ti and O atoms was confirmed through charge density analysis using refined structure factors. The Curie temperature (TC) showed an increasing trend from 71.1 °C to 91.5 °C with the addition of Ca2+ content. The best electrical properties were observed at x = 0.05, with values of Pm ⁓ 16.56 μC/cm2, Pr ⁓ 10.78 μC/cm2, EC ⁓ 3.02 kV/cm, Smax = 0.096 %, and d33∗ = 355 p.m./V. The compositions exhibited improved ferroelectric and electrostrain properties for x ranging from 0.0 to 0.05, making them promising candidates for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.
期刊介绍:
Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged.
A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions.
The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
