The microstructure was identified by X-ray diffraction method and scanning electron microscope was also employed to observe the surface morphologies. It is found that （La,Sb）-codoped barium strontium titanate ceramics exhibit typical perovskite structure and the average grain size decreases dramatically with increasing the content of Sb2O3. Both La3＋ ions and Sb3＋ ions occupy the A-sites in perovskite lattice. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of barium strontium titanate based ceramics are obviously influenced by La2O3 as well as Sb2O3 addition content. The tetragonal-cubic phase transition of La2O3 modified barium strontium titanate ceramics is of second order and the Curie temperature shifts to lower value with increasing the La2O3 doping content. The phase transition of （La,Sb）-codoped barium strontium titanate ceramics diffuses and the deviation from Curie-Weiss law becomes more obvious with the increase in Sb2O3 concentration. The temperature corresponding to the dielectric constant maximum of （La,Sb）-codoped barium strontium titanate ceramics decreases with increasing the Sb2O3 content, which is attributed to the replacement of host ions by the Sb3＋ ions.展开更多

We used a single sintering process and fabricated six disk samples of （Sr, Bi, Si, Ta）-doped TiO2- based varistor ceramics sintered at 1 250℃ for 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 2.0 h, 3.0 h, 4.0 h, and 5.0 h, respectively. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, breakdown voltage, and complex impedance. The results show that as the soaking time increases from 0.5 h to 5.0 h, the breakdown voltage drops before rising while the nonlinear coefficient increases and then decreases. We suggest that, considering both grain semi-conductivity and nonlinear electrical properties of the TiO2-based varistor ceramics, the optimal soaking time is between 2.0 h and 3.0 h.展开更多

Particularly, the relation between the dielectric properties and the lattice distortion is investigated in the phase coexistence region of PZT ceramics, and the fitting value of the volume fraction of the tetragonal phase VT to composition x in the equation is determined. Further,the fitting results are well consistent with the related experimental data. It involves more profound physical process than relation between the dielectric properties and composition x.展开更多

The influence of BT addition on the crystal structure, phase transition and dielectric properties was investigated. The crystal structure and ferroelectric phase transition were studied by XRD （X-ray diffraction） and dielectric measurements. The complete solid solution of BKT-BT was observed for all compositions. In XRD results, all compositions showed a single phase perovskite structure with tetragonal symmetry at room temperature. With increasing BT content, the separation between diffraction peaks corresponded to increasing tetragonality. The phase transition temperature of ferroelectric tetragonal-paraelectric cubic （Tc） decreased with increasing BT content. As the amount of BT concentration increased, the ceramic became denser, and almost no porosity was finally obtained.展开更多
