The composition of (1-x) (Ba0.85Sr0.15)TiO3 – x (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (BST-KNN) for x=0.1 and x=0.2 were successfully prepared by two separate synthesis namely oxalate co-precipitation (for BST) and solid-state reaction (for KNN). Sintered pellet at 1200 °C for 2h exhibits a single phase except x= 0.2 showing a secondary phase and was identified as Ba2TiO4. KNN doped BST system show tetragonal symmetry in which higher dopant expand its tetragonality (c/a). The density of sintered samples deduced by Archimedes method are slightly higher than 90%. Permittivity measurements as function of temperature show almost similar Tc= 90 °C at frequency 1.273 kHz and shift to higher temperature as frequency increases indicating a typical relaxor characteristics. At room temperature the relative permittivity showing Debye relaxation characteristic with ωr=12560 (x=0.1) and ωr =20096 (x-0.2). Furthermore, as function of temperature the activation energy deduced from relaxation time was obtained Ea=0,564 eV for x=0.1 and 0,58 eV for x=0.2.
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.
