In order to develop dielectric ceramics with temperature-stable permittivity characteristics, Eu and Ti codoped K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 [(1 -x)K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 -xEuTiO 3 ] ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid state route. The effect of EuTiO 3 on the phase structure and dielectric performance of KNN ceramics were investigated. The temperature dependence of the relative permittivity illustrated that the small amount of EuTiO 3 depressed the dielectric peak of ferroelectric-paraelectric transition. Therefore, the temperature stability and relative permittivity of ceramics were effectively improved. As x = 0.03, the ceramic showed superior dielectric temperature stability (±10 %), very low dielectric loss (0.008 at 250°C) and a relatively high permittivity ([1500 at 250°C) over the temperature range from *100 to 350°C. It suggests that this ceramic is a promising candidate for high-temperature capacitor application.
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.
