Structures, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.90Ba0.10TiO3 ceramic
sintered at different temperatures were investigated. The results confirm an important role of
sintering temperature on the structure and electrical properties of the ceramic. It was found that the
increase of sintering temperature in the range of 1110-1160 promoted the development of
crystal structure and microstructural densification, leading to an improvement in ferroelectric
properties, poling process and piezoelectric properties. Further increase of the sintering temperature
above 1160 resulted in a slight deformation of ceramic specimens. With respect to sintering
behavior and piezoelectric properties, a relatively narrow sintering temperature range near 1150
was ascertained to be preferred for the ceramic.
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.
