Structure Stability and Microwave Dielectric Properties of (1 − x) Ba(Mg1/2W1/2) O3 + xBa(Y2/3W1/3)O3 Ceramics

The structure stabilities of double perovskite ceramics‐ (1 ? x) Ba(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃ + xBa(Y_2/3W_1/3)O₃ (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) have been studied by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectrometry in this study. The microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were studied with a network analyzer at the frequency of about 8–11 GHz. The results showed that all the compounds exhibited face‐centered cubic perovskite structure. Part of Y³⁺ and W⁶⁺ cations occupied 4a‐site and the remaining Y³⁺ and Mg²⁺ distributed over 4b‐site, respectively, and kept the B‐site ratio 1:1 ordered. Local ordering of Y³⁺/Mg²⁺ on 4b‐site and Y³⁺/W⁶⁺ cations on 4a‐site within the short‐range scale could be observed with increasing Y‐doping content. The decomposition of the double perovskite compound at high temperature was successfully suppressed by doping with Y on B‐site. However, Ba₂Y_0.667WO₆ impurity phase appeared when x > 0.1. The optimized dielectric permittivity increased with the increase in Y doping. The optimized Q × f value was remarkably improved with small amount of Y doping (x ≤ 0.02) and reached a maximum value of about 160 000 GHz at x = 0.02 composition. Further increasing in Y doping led to the decrease in Q × f value. All compositions exhibited negative τ_f values. The absolute value of τ_f decreased with increasing Y‐doping content. Excellent combined microwave dielectric properties with ε_r = 20, Q × f = 160 000 GHz, and τ_f = ?21 ppm/°C could be obtained for x = 0.02 composition.     

Etching Induced Stepped Nanostructure on Pb(Mg(1–x/2)Mn(x/2)W1/2)O3 Ceramics

A new solid solution system, Pb(Mg_(1–x/2)Mn_(x/2)W_1/2)O₃, is formed by replacing Mg²⁺ with Mn²⁺ in the Pb(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃ complex perovskite. The solid solution remains in the orthorhombic Pmcn symmetry up to x = 0.1. It is observed that for such a chemical modification, the surface of the grain changes significantly. A stepped surface nanostructure appears in the Mn‐substituted perovskite. Detailed surface morphology of the stepped patterns was revealed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), which determined that the interlayer step height varies from 2.3 to 8.3 nm. Analyse by XRD, SEM, EDX, and AFM suggest that the nature of the stepped surface structure may be the result of etching rather than spiral growth or two‐dimensional nucleation as it was previously believed.     

Effects of Magnesium–Tungsten co-substitution on crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties of CaTi1-x(Mg1/2W1/2)xO3 ceramics

CaTi_1-x (Mg_1/2W_1/2)_xO₃ (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08) dielectric ceramics were synthesized via the traditional solid-state reaction method. Crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties of CaTi_1-x (Mg_1/2W_1/2)_xO₃ system were systematically investigated based on chemistry bond theory (P–V-L theory) for the first time. The pure perovskite phase was obtained for all doped samples, as confirmed through the XRD and Rietveld refinement results. The lattice characteristics were closely related to the microwave dielectric properties. The bond ionicity, lattice energy, and bond energy affected the dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature stability of the ceramic material. Through the use of (Mg_1/2W_1/2)⁴⁺ doped on B-site, the CaTi_1-x (Mg_1/2W_1/2)_xO₃ system can maintain a high dielectric constant (ε_r > 100) while effectively reducing the τ_f value from 800 ppm/^°C to less than 300 ppm/^°C and improving the Q × f value to 9650 GHz (at 3.76 GHz).     

High‐Performance Ferroelectric Solid Solution Crystals: Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3–Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3

A series of regular shaped Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃‐based ternary ferroelectric single crystals (1 ? x)Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃–0.33Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–xPbTiO₃ (PIN–PZN–PT) have been grown by means of the top‐seeded solution growth method that prevented pyrochlore phase and promoted [001] or [111] growth. The nucleation and crystallization behavior of the Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃‐based ferroelectric single crystals differed from other relaxor‐based ferroelectric single crystals was discovered. Di‐/piezo‐/ferro‐/pyroelectric properties were characterized systematically. The PIN–PZN–PT single crystals showed large coercive fields E_c, high Curie temperature T_C and high pyroelectric coefficient P, presenting similar performance but better thermal stability compared with the PZN–PT single crystals, and making it a promising material for transducers and IR detectors in a wider temperature range.     

Structure and microwave dielectric properties of 1:1 ordered Nd[(Mg1-xZnx)1/2Ti1/2]O3 complex perovskite ceramics

Nd[(Mg_1-xZn_x)_1/2Ti_1/2]O₃ perovskite ceramics (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) are prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The effects of Zn²⁺ substitution on the structure, microstructure, especially the B-site 1:1 cation ordering and microwave dielectric properties have been investigated. Sintered Nd[(Mg_1-xZn_x)_1/2Ti_1/2]O₃ ceramics all adopt dense microstructure, along with increased dimensional uniformity as Zn²⁺ substitution. All the ceramics are confirmed to have B-site 1:1 ordered monoclinic perovskite structure with P2₁/n space group. Atomic mass difference of B-site elements might be an important factor affecting the B-site 1:1 cation ordering. HRSTEM observation suggest that the doped Zn²⁺ cations have roughly entered the Mg²⁺ sites to promote 1:1 cation ordering. The degree of the 1:1 cation ordering can be negatively reflected by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of F_2g(B) mode at 372 cm^?1 in Raman spectra. With Zn²⁺ doping, the degree of the 1:1 cation ordering first increases then decreases, and reaches its maximum at x = 0.6. Meanwhile the best combination of microwave dielectric properties is obtained, as ε_r = 31.4, Q × f = 74,000 GHz, τ_f = ?44 ppm/°C. It is found that the long-range ordering not only decreases the dielectric loss but also affects the dielectric constant, providing a theoretical foundation to understand further the correlation between ionic configuration and microwave dielectric properties.     

Preparation,X-ray phase analysis and dielectric properties of Pb(Fe1-xCox)2/3W1/3O3 and Pb(Co1-yFey)1/2W1/2O3 (0 ≤ x,y ≤ 1) systems

In this work, the Pb(Fe_1-xCo_x)_2/3W_1/3O₃ (PFCW) and Pb(Co_1-yFe_y)_1/2W_1/2O₃ (PCFW) ceramics with 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1 were successfully fabricated by a solid-state reaction process. X–ray diffraction phase analysis indicate the formation of two different series of solid solutions with a perovskite structure and with the substitution limits of Fe for Co (in PFCW) and Co for Fe (in PCFW) are x = 0.35 and y ≈ 0.05, respectively. Based on the results of dielectric study of the PFCW ceramics, it was shown that a crossover from relaxor ferroelectric to ferroelectric with a diffuse phase transition takes place at x = 0.10. In the case of PCFW ceramics, the observed dielectric maxima correspond to the phase transitions at 320 K and 256 K. The peculiarities of the temperature dependencies of the thermally stimulated depolarization currents of PFCW and PCFW solid solutions were studied and discussed.     

Composition dependent structure,dielectric and energy storage properties of Pb(Tm1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 antiferroelectric ceramics

In order to stabilize the perovskite structure and improve the storage energy density (U) of Pb(Tm_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃ (PTmN) based materials, Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (PMN) was introduced into PTmN to form binary (1-x)PTmN-xPMN solid solution ceramics. The XRD patterns show that all the compositions belong to orthorhombic phase with space group Pbnm. The Curie temperature (T_C) gradually decreases while the dielectric constant (ε') increases for (1-x)PTmN-xPMN with increasing PMN content. The ε' of each composition above T_C obeys the Curie-Weiss law. The appearance double hysteresis loop confirms the antiferroelectric nature of (1-x)PTmN-xPMN (x = 0.02–0.18) ceramics. With the increase of PMN concentration, the maximum polarization slowly increases from 8.58 μC/cm² to 29.5 μC/cm² while the threshold electric field (E_A-F) gradually declines from 290 kV/cm to 120 kV/cm. The maximum of U (3.12 J/cm³) is obtained in 0.92PTmN-0.08PMN ceramic with moderate E_A-F = 220 kV/cm, which makes (1-x)PTmN-xPMN ceramics safe in practical application.     

Structures and Properties of Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3−Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3− Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3 Ceramics for Energy Harvesting Devices

Piezoelectric ceramics with large energy density coefficient d₃₃·g₃₃ value have been found suitable for piezoelectric energy harvesting applications. In this study, the phase structures and piezoelectric properties of xPb(Zr_0.5Ti_0.5)O₃?yPb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃?(1?x?y)Pb(Ni_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (xPZT?yPZN?(1?x?y)PNN) ceramic were investigated with systematically varying PZN and PNN components. The ternary phase diagram of PZT?PZN?PNN system was illustrated and the composition region of morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) was determined. Piezoelectric and dielectric measurements verify that the materials in MPB region all present large d₃₃ and d₃₃·g₃₃ values. In particular, very high d₃₃·g₃₃ coefficients of 20162.2 × 10^?15 m²/N and 21026.3 × 10^?15 m²/N are observed from samples 0.75PZT?0.15PZN?0.1PNN and 0.8PZT?0.05PZN?0.15PNN with compositions located on the rhombohedral phase side near MPB because the dielectric coefficient ε₃₃^T/ε₀ decreases faster than the d₃₃ coefficient at this side.     

Phase Diagram and Properties of High TC/TR−T Pb(In1/2Nb1/2) O3–Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 Ferroelectric Ceramics

A ternary ferroelectric ceramic system, (1?x?y)Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃–xPb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–yPbTiO₃ (PIN–PZN–PT, x = 0.21, 0.27, 0.36, 0.42), was prepared using a two‐step precursor method. The phase structure, dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties of the ternary ceramics were systematically investigated. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) was identified by X‐ray diffraction. The optimum piezoelectric and electromechanical properties were achieved for a composition close to MPB (0.5PIN–0.21PZN–0.29PT), where the piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃, planar electromechanical coupling factor k_p, and remnant polarization P_r are 660 pC/N,72%, and 45 μC/cm², respectively. The Curie temperature T_C and rhombohedral to tetragonal phase transition temperature T_R?T were also derived by temperature dependence of dielectric measurements. The strongly “bended” MPB in the PIN–PT system was found to be “flattened” after addition of PZN in the PIN–PT–PZN system. The results demonstrate a possibility of growing ferroelectric single crystals with high electromechanical properties and expanded range of application temperature.     

Metastable Ferroelectric Phase Induced by Electric Field in xPb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–(1–x)Pb(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 Ceramics

A xPb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–(1–x)Pb(Zr_0.95Ti_0.05)O₃ (xPZN–(1–x) PZT) system close to antiferroelectric–ferroelectric (AFE–FE) morphotropic phase boundary has been prepared and investigated. The XRD results reveal PZN addition induces a phase transition from the orthorhombic (AFE) to rhombohedral (FE) phase through a phase coexistence region (AFE+FE). The polarization–electric field (P–E) measurements indicate that the AFE phase can be induced into a metastable FE (FE_m) phase. And the FE_m can recover to AFE around a critical temperature indicated by temperature‐dependent P–E loops. A composition‐temperature phase diagram was generalized within a certain range of PZN content in which an AFE–FE phase boundary connecting orthorhombic antiferroelectric to rhombohedral ferroelectric phase zones is formed near room temperature.     

Perovskite stabilization in Fe- and Mg-doped Pb(Zn1/2W1/2)O3 and their dielectric characteristics

Stabilization of a perovskite structure by solid-state reaction in as-yet unreported Pb(Zn_1/2W_1/2)O₃ ceramics was attempted with compositional modification. A wide range of fractions of Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃ were initially introduced into the host material, and 20?mol% Pb(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃ was subsequently added to the resulting composition in order to enhance perovskite formation. The perovskite development yield of 62.5% (without any fraction of Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃ introduced) increased with Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃ contents and finally reached 99.9%. The lattice parameters of the perovskite structure in the cubic symmetry range decreased steadily from 0.4002 to 0.3979?nm with increasing Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃. The relative permittivity values of the ceramics increased from 72 to 4910 (1?MHz) with increasing Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃. By contrast, the dielectric maximum temperatures in the cubic perovskite range changed only slightly from -111 to ?124?°C (1?MHz), quite insensitive to the compositional modification. Meanwhile, the phase transition changed gradually from sharp to diffuse modes with the Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃ substitution.     

Evolution of magnetic order in multiferroic Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3-BiFeO3 solid solution

Multiferroic materials have attracted much interest in the last decade due to both the intriguing fundamental science and the potential applications in spintronics and magnetoelectric data storage devices. In this work, we have investigated and discussed the evolution of the magnetic properties of the multiferroic (1-x)Pb(Fe_2/3 W_1/3)O₃-xBiFeO₃ solid solution ((1-x)PFW-xBFO, x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1 and 0.15). The magnetic phase diagram is established based on the magnetic measurement results, which reveals six magnetically ordered states on the PFW-rich side of the solid solution. The origins of the complex evolution of magnetic order in the PFW-BFO solid solution are discussed from the point view of the variations in both the –Fe–O–Fe– and –Fe–O–W–O–Fe– superexchange routes, which are intimately related to the ratio of magnetic Fe³⁺ ion concentration on the B-site and the changes in the local structural order/disorder and chemical homogeneities. Combining the magnetic phase diagram with the relaxor characteristic phase diagram of the (1-x)PFW-xBFO system, a striking feature is found that the ergodic relaxor (ER) state and the weakly ferromagnetic phase coexist in the composition range of 0.025 ≤ x ≤ 0.1 between the freezing temperature T_f and the Burns temperature T_B.     

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy of PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3–PbSc1/2Nb1/2O3 ceramics

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy results of various ordered and disordered (1 ? x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–(x)Pb(Sc_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃ (PMN–PSN) ceramics are investigated in the temperature range from 80 K to 300 K and frequency range from 20 Hz to 2 THz. Dielectric dispersion is very broad and in the ferroelectrics case (x = 1, 0.95) consists of two parts: low-frequency part caused by ferroelectric domains and higher frequency part caused by soft mode. The relaxational soft mode exhibits pronounced softening close to phase transition temperature, as it is typical for order–disorder phase transitions. By substituting Sc³⁺ by Mg²⁺ in PMN–PSN ceramics relaxation slows down, and for relaxors (x = 0.2) the most probable relaxation frequency decreases on cooling according to Vogel–Fulcher law.     

Investigation of dielectric and piezoelectric properties in aliovalent Eu3+-modified Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 ceramics

Rare earth (Eu³⁺)-modified Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (PMN-PT) polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramics were fabricated by high-temperature solid-state sintering, the phase structure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. Eu³⁺ addition was found to significantly improve dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PMN-PT, where the optimized properties were achieved for the composition of 2.5 mol%Eu: 0.72PMN-0.28PT, with the piezoelectric d₃₃ = 1420 pC/N, dielectric ε_r = 12 200 and electromechanical k₃₃ = 0.78, respectively. All these results indicate that the Eu³⁺-doped PMN-PT ceramics are promising candidates for high-performance room-temperature piezoelectric devices.     

Structure and microwave dielectric properties of La(2−x)/3Nax(Mg1/2W1/2)O3

The structure evolution, sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of La_(2−x)/3Na_x(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃ (x = 0–0.5) were investigated in this paper. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that all samples exhibit single phase, and the structure changed from orthorhombic when 0 ≤ x < 0.3 to monoclinic phase when 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.5. The size and ordering degree of A/B-site domains decrease with the increase in x value. The sintering temperature of the Na-doped samples increased compared to the pure La_2/3(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃ (LMW) due to the estimated decrease in the concentration of A-site vacancies. The addition of Na⁺ ion does not affect the dielectric permittivity greatly. The Q × f value decreases with the increase in x value, although the estimated concentration of A-site vacancies decreases with increasing x, which may be ascribed to the decrease of A/B-site ordering and domain size with the increase in x. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency changed from negative values into positive values with the increase in x value.     

Resistivity Enhancement and Transport Mechanisms in (1 − x)BaTiO3–xBi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3 and (1 − x)SrTiO3–xBi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3

Ceramics of composition (1?x)BaTiO₃–xBi(Zn_1/2Ti_1/2)O₃ (BT‐BZT) were prepared by solid‐state synthesis; they have been shown to exhibit excellent properties suited for high‐temperature dielectric applications. The X‐ray diffraction data showed a single‐phase perovskite structure for all the compositions prepared (x ≤ 0.1 BZT). The compositions with less than 0.075 BZT exhibited tetragonal symmetry at room temperature and pseudo‐cubic symmetry above it. Most notably, a significant improvement in insulation properties was measured with the addition of BZT. Both low‐field AC impedance and high‐field direct DC measurements indicated an increase in resistivity of at least two orders of magnitude at 400°C with the addition of just 0.03 BZT (~10⁷ Ω‐cm) into the solid solution as compared to pure BT (~10⁵ Ω‐cm). This effect was also evident in dielectric loss data, which remained low at higher temperatures as the BZT content increased. In conjunction with band gap measurements, it was also concluded that the conduction mechanism transitioned from extrinsic for pure BT to intrinsic for 0.075 BZT suggesting a change in the fundamental defect equilibrium conditions. It was also shown that this improvement in insulation properties was not limited to BT‐BZT, but could also be observed in the paraelectric SrTiO₃–BZT system.     

Effects of W6+ substitution on crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties of Li3Mg2NbO6 ceramics

Li₃Mg₂(Nb_1-xW_x)O_6+x/2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.08) ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state reaction route. The effects of W⁶⁺ substitution on the phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Li₃Mg₂NbO₆ ceramics were investigated systematically. The XRD results showed that all the samples formed a pure solid solution in the whole doping range. The SEM iamges and relative density revealed the dense structure of Li₃Mg₂(Nb_1-xW_x)O_6+x/2 ceramics. The relationship between the crystal structure and dielectric properties of Li₃Mg₂(Nb_1-xW_x)O_6+x/2 ceramics was researched through polarizability, average bond valence, and bond energy. The substitution of W⁶⁺ for Nb⁵⁺ in Li₃Mg₂(Nb_1-xW_x)O_6+x/2 ceramics significantly promoted the Q × f values. In addition, the increase of W⁶⁺ content improved the thermal stability of the Li₃Mg₂(Nb_1-xW_x)O_6+x/2 ceramics. The Li₃Mg₂(Nb_0.94W_0.06)O_6.03 ceramics sintered at 1175 °C for 6h possessed excellent properties: ε_r ~ 15.82, Q × f ~ 124,187 GHz, τ_f ~ −18.28 ppm/°C.     

First‐Principle Calculation and Assignment for Vibrational Spectra of Ba(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 Microwave Dielectric Ceramic

Ba(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃ ceramic was synthesized using a conventional solid‐state reaction method at 1500°C for 4 h. The face‐centered cubic crystal structure of the material was confirmed by Rietveld refinement of X‐ray diffraction (XRD) data, and vibrational modes were obtained by Raman and Fourier transform far‐infrared (FTIR) reflection spectroscopies. First‐principle calculations based on density functional theory with local density approximation were used to calculate Gamma‐point modes and dielectric properties of Ba(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃. The Raman spectrum with nine active modes can be fitted with Lorentzian function, and the modes were assigned as F_2g⁽¹⁾ (126 cm^?1), F_2g⁽²⁾ (441 cm^?1), E_g(O) (538 cm^?1), and A_1g(O) (812 cm^?1). Far‐infrared spectrum with 12 infrared active modes was fitted using both the Lorenz three‐parameter classical and four‐parameter semiquantum models. Consequently, the modes were assigned as F_1u⁽¹⁾ (144 cm^?1), F_1u⁽²⁾ (284 cm^?1), F_1u⁽³⁾ (330–468 cm^?1), and F_1u⁽⁴⁾ (593–678 cm^?1). The active modes were represented by linear combinations of symmetry coordinates that were obtained by group theory analyses. The Raman mode A_1g, which has the highest wave number (812 cm^?1) is dominated by the breath vibration of the MgO₆ octahedron. The infrared modes F_1u⁽²⁾, that can be described as the inverted vibrations of Mg atoms in the MgO₆ octahedron along the x_i, y_i, and z_i axes have the most contributions to the microwave permittivity and dielectric loss.     

Structure development and dielectric properties of Zn-doped Pb([Mg,Fe],W)O3 perovskite ceramics

Ceramic samples of a pseudo-binary system Pb(Mg_1/2W_1/2)O₃-Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃ (PMW-PFW) were prepared by solid-state reaction. In addition, their compositions were modified by 20 mol% Pb(Zn_1/2W_1/2)O₃ (PZW) doping in order to investigate the role of zinc in the perovskite formation and dielectric properties. The perovskite contents were ≥95.1% at the overall composition range, except for a significantly low value of 79.0% at 0.8PFW-0.2PZW. The extension of sintering time for PMW accelerated superstructure formation, resulting in the ordering factor increased up to 0.40 after 12 hours heat treatment. The maximum dielectric constant values increased with increasing PFW fractions. In comparison, the phase transition temperatures decreased sharply (by up to 161°C) at low concentrations of PFW, followed by mild changes (by up to 47°C) afterward. The dielectric constant spectra were analyzed in terms of diffuseness characteristics, which reflected the phase transition modes quite well.     

Novel BiFeO3–BaTiO3–Ba(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 Lead‐Free Relaxor Ferroelectric Ceramics for Energy‐Storage Capacitors

A novel lead‐free relaxor ferroelectric ceramic of (0.67?x)BiFeO₃–0.33BaTiO₃–xBa(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ [(0.67?x)BF–0.33BT–xBMN, x = 0–0.1] was prepared by a solid‐state reaction method. A relatively high maximum polarization P_max of 38 μC/cm² and a low remanent polarization P_r of 5.7 μC/cm² were attained under 12.5 kV/mm in the x = 0.06 sample, leading to an excellent energy‐storage density of W ~1.56 J/cm³ and a moderate energy‐storage efficiency of η ~75%. Moreover, a good temperature stability of the energy storage was obtained in the x = 0.06 sample from 25°C to 190°C. The achievement of these characteristics was basically attributed to an electric field induced reversible ergodic to ferroelectric phase transition owing to similar free energies near a critical freezing temperature. The results indicate that the (0.67?x)BF–0.33BT–xBMN lead‐free realxor ferroelectric ceramic could be a promising dielectric material for energy‐storage capacitors.
