Abstract
ABSTRACT Ba(Zr0.02Ti0.98)O3 (BZT) samples with various weight percentages of Sm2O3 (0.02–0.06) were synthesized and calcined at 1100°C for 4 h. Circular pellets were prepared using calcined powders and sintered at 1450°C for 2 h. The sintered and poled samples were used for the measurement of various electrical properties. Maximum piezoelectric charge constant (d 33) of 372 pC/N obtained for 0.02 wt.% Sm2O3-doped BZT. Dielectric constant (K = 15,855) at 100 Hz was found maximum for this composition at Curie temperature (T c) of 125°C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study revealed a decrease in grain size with an increase in Sm2O3 content. Largely, a lower concentration of Sm2O3-doped BZT compositions with higher d 33 could be suitable for vibration sensor and accelerometer applications.
期刊介绍:
Phase Transitions is the only journal devoted exclusively to this important subject. It provides a focus for papers on most aspects of phase transitions in condensed matter. Although emphasis is placed primarily on experimental work, theoretical papers are welcome if they have some bearing on experimental results. The areas of interest include:
-structural phase transitions (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, multiferroic, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, etc.) under a range of external parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, electric/magnetic fields, etc.)
-geophysical phase transitions
-metal-insulator phase transitions
-superconducting and superfluid transitions
-magnetic phase transitions
-critical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitions
-liquid crystals
-technological applications of phase transitions
-quantum phase transitions
Phase Transitions publishes both research papers and invited articles devoted to special topics. Major review papers are particularly welcome. A further emphasis of the journal is the publication of a selected number of small workshops, which are at the forefront of their field.
