Abstract
Abstract Barium Zirconate Titanate-Barium Calcium Titanate (BCT-BZT) is one of the lead-free systems, which exhibits remarkable ferroelectric properties akin to lead-based perovskite materials. In this study, we have synthesized x(Ba0.85Ca0.15)TiO3-(1−x)Ba(Zr0.15Ti0.85)O3 (where x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) monophonic powders by hydrothermal method at 150 °C. X-ray diffraction reveals the pure tetragonal phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies make known that the crystal growth is uniform due to low temperature, and that the ceramics are highly dense and polycrystalline. The single semicircle indicates bulk behavior. The bulk resistance decreases with the increase in temperature showing a typical semiconducting property, negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior.
期刊介绍：
Ferroelectrics Letters is a separately published section of the international journal Ferroelectrics. Both sections publish theoretical, experimental and applied papers on ferroelectrics and related materials, including ferroelastics, ferroelectric ferromagnetics, electrooptics, piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, nonlinear dielectrics, polymers and liquid crystals.
Ferroelectrics Letters permits the rapid publication of important, quality, short original papers on the theory, synthesis, properties and applications of ferroelectrics and related materials.
