摘要
Investigation on structural, vibrational, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of Bi1-xPrxFeO3 (x = 0.0, 0.15, 0.25) ceramic samples has been carried out. Room temperature Rietveld-refined X-ray diffraction pattern shows the crystal structure of Bi1-xPr5FeO3 is rhombohedral for x = 0 and triclinic for x = 0.15, 0.25. The changes in Raman normal modes with increasing doping concentration infer the structural transformation is due to Pr substitution at A-site in BiFeO3. Raman spectra also reveal suppression of ferroelectric behavior due to Pr doping. The dielectric parameters, namely, dielectric permittivity (s') and loss tangent (tan (6)) were evaluated as a function of frequency at room temperature. The ferroelectric polarization reduces in Pr doped bulk BFO samples due to structural change. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
