摘要
Calcium-doped sodium strontium barium niobate (SBNN, (Sr0.6Ba0.4)(4-x)CaxNa2Nb10O30, 0 <= x <= 05) ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. SBNN showed 'filled' tetragonal tungsten-bronze structure with fully occupied A-sites. The tetragonal structure, as revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, was not affected by the Ca-dopant. Effects of Ca-doping concentration on the phase transitions as well as ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of the SBNN ceramics were investigated. From the dielectric studies, two anomalies were observed, namely, a sharp normal ferroelectric transition at 260 degrees C and a broad maximum at round -110 degrees C. The later was affected by the Ca-doping concentration and its origin was discussed. At x = 0.3, the sample exhibited the highest pyroelectric coefficient of 168 mu C/m(2) K and the largest piezoelectric coefficient (d(33)) of 63 pC/N at room temperature. On the basis of our results, the pyroelectric properties of the SBNN were improved by Ca-doping. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
