摘要
Barium Zirconate Titanate-Barium Calcium Titanate (BCT-BZT) is one of the lead-free systems, which exhibits remarkable ferroelectric properties akin to lead-based perovskite materials. In this study, we have synthesized x(Ba0.85Ca0.15)TiO3-(1-x)Ba(Zr0.15Ti0.85)O-3 (where x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) monophonic powders by hydrothermal method at 150 degrees C. X-ray diffraction reveals the pure tetragonal phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies make known that the crystal growth is uniform due to low temperature, and that the ceramics are highly dense and polycrystalline. The single semicircle indicates bulk behavior. The bulk resistance decreases with the increase in temperature showing a typical semiconducting property, negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior.
