Distribution of the iron dopant in barium titanate ceramic, determined by the scanning transmission electron microscope

Abstract: The iron distribution in iron‐doped BaTiO3 ceramic with an average grain diameter of 0.3 μm is measured in a scanning transmission electron microscope with a field‐emission gun. The mass fraction of iron varies from grain to grain between 0.1 and 0.2%. Whereas the iron distribution within the grain is homogeneous, a boundary layer with a thickness of no more than 20 nm shows an increase in the iron concentration by an average of 0.4%. Possible iron distributions within the boundary layer and the relation betwe… Show more

“…Issa et a/(1984) concluded from their studies that the formation of defective grain boundary layers at the boundary of the grain was responsible for the depression of ema~-These large boundary layers with lattice distortion were assumed to be compositionally different from the interior of the grain. A similar conclusion was arrived at by Knauer (1979) for BaTiO3 doped with Fe203. From the above results, it is reasonable to assume that the decrease in spontaneous polarization values consequent on decrease of permittivity values of the doped samples of NaVO3 and LiVO 3 is due to the formation of defective grain boundary layers.…”

“…The assumed migration of ferro and especially ferri ions into the BTO lattice leads to a structural phase transition and displacement of the ions inside the lattice, thereby changing the local dipole structure in the grains. The distribution of iron at grain boundaries affects the electrical properties of the system as well, reducing mobility of the walls between polarization domains [29,30]. This is in agreement with the defective dipole model [31], according to which iron effectively immobilizes dipoles in its surroundings.…”

“…3). A broadening and flattening of the maximum of ε(T) and a shift of the Curie temperature T c have also been observed in Fe-doped BaTiO 3 ceramics [10,11]. Similar effects also exist in the potassium tantalite niobate [12] and in several oxides with perovskite structure: Nb:KTaO 3 , Cu,La:PbTiO 3 [13].…”
