(1 -x)BaTiO 3 -xBiYO 3 [(1 -x)BT-xBY] polycrystalline ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The ceramics are in tetragonal phase when x ≤ 0.04, transform to pseudocubic at x ≥ 0.06, showing a classic ferroelectric to relaxor transition at x = 0.06, where the phase transition temperature was found to shift to higher temperature with increasing frequency. The dielectric permittivity peaks were analyzed by the modified Curie-Weiss law. Both parameters DT diffuse and DT relaxor were found to increase with increasing BY content, demonstrating a stronger relaxor characteristic.
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.
