Abstract
The structural, microstructural, dielectric, optical, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties of cobalt doped barium calcium titanate (BCT) (Ba0.80Ca0.20Ti1-xCoxO3 with x = 0.000, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015, and 0.020) ceramics have been reported in this paper. The ceramic samples were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. For all of the prepared samples, the tetragonal structure with the space group P4mm has been confirmed using the refinement method through Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) micrographs revealed that the average particle size exists in micrometre range (0.3–0.8) μm. Optical studies revealed a gradual decrease in the energy bandgap from 3.31 eV to 2.71 eV with increasing doping concentration. A decreasing trend was observed in the dielectric characteristics of the material with changing frequencies at room temperature. Ferroelectric (P-E loops) analysis displayed an increase in both remnant polarization and maximum polarization of the ceramic with the increasing applied electric field. The highest value for the energy storage efficiency (η) was calculated to be 20.51 %. Magnetic analysis conducted at room temperature revealed the enhancement in ferromagnetism with the increase in doping concentration.
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.
