Abstract:

Bi3.25Ho0.75Ti2.97V0.03O12 (BHTV) ceramics was prepared by solid state reaction. This sample had polycrystalline Bi-layered perovskite structure without preferred orientation, and consisted of well developed plate-like grains with random orientation. BHTV caused a large shift of the Curie temperature ( TC ) of Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) from 675 °C to 398 °C. The remanent polarization and the coercive field of the BHTV ceramics were 28μC/cm2 and 56kV/cm at an electric field of 90kV/cm, respectively. Furthermore, the dielectric permittivity and dissipation factor were 298 and 2.8×10-3 at 1MHz, respectively. These ferroelectric properties of BHTV ceramics are superior to V-doped Bi4Ti3O12 (~20μC/cm2 and 80kV/cm) and (Sr, Ta)-doped Bi4Ti3O12 (~12μC/cm2 and 71kV/cm) ceramics. In addition, the dense ceramics of BHTV could be obtained by sintering at temperatures 100─200 °C lower than those of the SrBi2Ta2O9 system.
