Temperature Stable Dielectric Properties in BaTiO3-Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O-3-NaNbO3 Solid Solution

摘要

abstract_textp0.5BaTiO(3)-(0.5-x)Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O-3-xNaNbO(3) (x=0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) samples were processed via solid-state sintering route. Phase identification of the samples showed the formation of a single-phase cubic perovskite-structure (space group Pm-3 m) which was further confirmed using Raman spectroscopy. Microstructural analysis of the samples revealed some voids in the samples while grain size was observed to decrease with increasing NaNbO3 concentration. The addition of NaNbO3 shifted T-m to below room temperature and the stability range of 0.5BaTiO(3)-0.5Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O-3 ceramics was enhanced. The sample with x=0.20 exhibited epsilon(r(mid)) = 400 +/- 15% stable over a wide temperature range from -85 to 500 degrees C and most importantly a low dielectric loss of 0.05 stable across a wide temperature range -100 to 426 degrees C was maintained. The thermally stable dielectric properties of sample x=0.2 suggests that it could be useful candidate material for capacitor applications in both low (X9R) as well as harsh environment applications./p/abstract_text
