Abstract
The effect of CeO2 sintering aid on the microstructural and electrical properties of CaBi2Nb2O9 ceramics was studied. The addition of CeO2 facilitates a reduction in the sintering temperature of CaBi2Nb2O9, improve the grain morphology, increase the relative density, and induce the c-axis oriented growth of some grains. The incorporation of some Ce ions into the B-sites of [NbO6] octahedra results in an increased tetragonal distortion, and therefore significantly affects the electrical properties of the ceramics. The sample with 0.6 wt% CeO2 exhibits an optimal performance with a large remanent polarization (Pr = 18.5 μC/cm2) and a piezoelectric coefficient (d33 = 20.8 pC/N). The results indicate that adding CeO2 as a sintering aid is an effective strategy for enhancing the performance of CaBi2Nb2O9 ceramics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
