The influence of La and Gd doped on the microstructure and dielectric properties, including the phase structure, temperature dependence of permittivity, (Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4)(Zr 0.6 Ti 0.4)O 3-Nb 2 O 5-Fe 2 O 3 (BSZT40NF) materials have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, SEM, and LCR analyzer, respectively. Experimental results revealed that incorporation of proper content of La and Gd basically soluted in the lattice of BSZT40NF and can control the grain growth, reduce the dielectric loss of the BSZT40NF materials. The development of microstructure promoted by the additives can result in the improvement of the dielectric constant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
