Abstract

La-modified PbZrTiO3 ferroelectric ceramics with Pb0.92La0.08(Zr0.686Ti0.294)O3 nominal composition were obtained via the conventional solid-state reaction method, by considering different PbO excess (5, 10 and 15 mol %). The structural properties, were investigated from X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman Spectroscopy techniques, both at room temperature. Results confirmed the formation of the perovskite structure with rhombohedral symmetry (R3m space-group) for all the samples. The dielectric properties were also investigated, from the temperature dependence of the dielectric response, and results revealed the characteristic response of ferroelectric materials for all the compositions. The obtained very broad peak in the maximum dielectric permittivity, around Tm (~107°C), suggests the diffuse character of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition.
