The effects of strontium substitution on the electrical properties of La 3 Ta 0.5 Ga 5.5 O 14 (LTG) are reported. Strontium substituted LTG (Sr-LTG) with a nominal chemical composition La 2.9 Sr 0.1 Ta 0.55 Ga 5.45 O 14 crystals were grown using the conventional Czochralski method under high and low oxygen partial pressures. The electrical properties and thermal behaviors of the Sr-LTG crystals were also compared with those of pure crystals. Sr substitution was found to affect the electroacoustic constants and thermal expansion coefficient clearly. These characteristics are discussed from crystallographic perspectives. The Sr-LTG crystals grown at low oxygen partial pressures exhibited higher electrical resistivity µ for pressure sensors used at high temperatures.
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.
