Preparation and Ferroelectric Properties of Sol-Gel Derived (Ba0.95Ca0.05)TiO3 Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ba0.95Ca0.05)TiO3 (BCT) ferroelectric ceramics were prepared from powders synthesized using a sol–gel process. Structural evolution of the BCT dry gels are investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis differential scanning calorimetry. It is found that BCT crystallites can be formed before 800°C. Well-sintered samples are synthesized at 1320°C for 2h. The crystal structure of the BCT ceramics is studied by XRD and ferroelectric properties of the ceramics are characterized by TF analyzer 2000. The Curie temperature Tc of the BCT ceramics is at about 130°C. The maximum dielectric constant (εr) reaches about 13678 at 130°C and hysteresis loops are measured with the temperature range from 25°C to 150°C.
