摘要
The thermostability of lanthanum substituted bismuth titanate, Bi4-xLaxTi3O12 (BLT), with La-content up to x = 0.75 was investigated using differential thermal analysis. Subsequently, BLT and Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) single crystals were grown by a self-flux method. The BLT crystals with two different ranges of La content, x = 1.0-1.5 and 0 < x < 0.1, were obtained using starting materials with mole ratio BLT(x = 0.25) : Bi2O3 = 1 : 9. Segregation phenomena of La during crystal growth process were observed. A comparison of dielectric and ferroelectric properties in BIT and BLT crystals was performed. The La incorporation led to a significant increase in the coercive field value, E-c, of BIT single crystals.
