Abstract

Effect of lower ionic radii (Na and Nd) substitution in A-site on the structure, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBT) is investigated in this paper. The samples are prepared by solid state double sintering method and sol gel method based on pechini process. Substitution of smaller ions reduced the dielectric constant and remanent polarization values. But sol gel samples showed good dielectric and ferroelectric properties. A-site substitution has resulted in improved Curie temperature and piezoelectric properties. As a result, Na and Nd modified SBT ceramics are found to be excellent high temperature piezoelectric materials.
