Phase Transitions, Dielectric and Piezoelectric Properties of BiScO₃-PbTiO₃ Ceramic Solid Solutions

Abstract:

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramic solid solutions based on the compositions close to the MPB in the system (1-x)BiScO3 – xPbTiO3 (x- 0.63, 0.635, 0.64) have been studied. The 1st order phase transitions were observed at temperatures near 700 K. Increase in the lead titanate content stimulates slight increase in the TC value. Cr2O3 additives in amounts up to 0.2 w. % favor to the decrease of total conductivity and dielectric loss at high temperatures. Increase in the d33 and kt piezocoefficients was observed in modifed ceramic. Besides peaks in temperature dependences of dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss marked ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transitions, effects of dielectric relaxation, determined by oxygen vacancies were revealed.
