ABSTRACT:We have studied the influence of a new lead-free Fe/Li incorporated H-Bt prepared by the solid state reaction method and compared it with pure hexagonal barium titanate. The hexagonal phase was stabilised at room temperature due to substitution with Fe-Li. Lattice constants were refined as a = 5.720 A.U., c = 13.96 A.U. Both XRD and IR imply that Li enters octahedral as well as Ba sites. Dielectric measurements show an increase from 800 to 10 5 indicating sample to be potential colossal dielectric constant (CDC) material. Abnormal grain growth (AGG) was restricted in the substituted sample and normal grain growth was observed.
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.
