Diffuse Phase Transition and Dielectric Properties of Lead-Free Zr-Doped BCTS Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lead-free Ba0.9Ca0.1Sn0.06Ti0.94-xZrxO3 (BCTSZ) ceramics where x = 0.00, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09 were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The dielectric constant of the Zr doped BCTS ceramic was enhanced by Zr incorporation. The maximum dielectric constant were obtained at the composition of x = 0.05. The dielectric property investigation indicated that the degree of the diffuse phase transition behavior increased with Zr substitution. Phase transition of tetragonal to cubic structure was significantly dependent on the amount of Zr added.
