摘要
xBaZr(0.2)Ti(0.8)O(3)-(1-x)BiFeO3 (short for xBZT-(1 - x)BFO) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of xBZT-(1 - x)BFO ceramics have been investigated. The crystal structure of xBZT-(1 - x)BFO ceramics change gradually from rhombohedral to cubic structure with the increasing of x. The average grain size of xBZT-(1 - x)BFO (x = 0-0.7) increases initially to the maximum (x = 0.5) and then decreases. The dielectric constant of 0.3BZT-0.7BFO and 0.5BZT-0.5BFO ceramics is more than that of BFO ceramics, and the dielectric constant of BFO and 0.7BZT-0.3BFO ceramics is about the same in the temperature range of 303-423 K. Addition of BZT can decrease the dielectric loss and leakage current density of xBZT-(1 - x)BFO ceramics. As BZT content increases, the remnant polarization of xBZT-(1 - x)BFO ceramics (x = 0-0.7) increases initially to the maximum (x = 0.5) and then decreases, and the coercive field decreases. Moreover, the frequency and temperature dependences of ferroelectricity of xBZT-(1 - x)BFO ceramics is obvious. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
