| Abstract: | Ferroelectric Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3(BST) and partially Pb2+ substituted for Ba2+ ceramics (Bao.7-xPbx)Sr0.3TiO3 (x=0.1-0.4,BPST) were prepared by using conventional solid-reaction method.XRD analysis shows that the samples microstructure changes from cubic phase to tetragonal one with the Pb2+ content increasing.ESEM analysis shows that the Pb2+ substituted samples have a denser and more uniform surface morphology than that of pure BST.Measured electrical properties suggest that the Pb2+ substitution for Ba2+ in the BST system enhances the ferroelectric performance obviously when x=0.2.In addition,the substitution increases the samples Curie temperature (Tc).(Ba0.5Pb0.2)Sr0.3TiO3 ceramic has good ferroelectric properties measured at a maximal electric field of 30 kV/cm under the condition of room temperature.The corresponding saturated polarization (Ps),remnant polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) is respectively 15.687 μC/cm2,8.100μ C/cm2 and 6.611 kV/cm.The measured Tc of (Ba0.5Pb0.2)Sr0.3TiO3 is 117 ℃. |
