Ferroelectric Properties of Bismuth Titanate Ceramics by Sm3+/V5+ Substitution

Article Preview

Abstract:

The ferroelectricity of Bi3.25Sm0.75Ti3O12 (BST), and Bi3.25Sm0.75Ti2.97V0.03O12 (BSTV) ceramics prepared at 1100°C by a conventional ceramic technique was investigated. These ceramics possess random-oriented polycrystalline structure. The remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of the BST ceramics are 16 µC/cm2 and 64kV/cm, respectively. Furthermore, V substitution improves the Pr value of the BST ceramics up to 25 μC/cm2, which is much larger than that of the BST ceramics. Therefore, co-sustitution of Sm and V in is effective for the improvement of the ferroelectricity of Bi4Ti3O12 ceramic.
