Abstract
Synthesis, formation, structural phase transition, dielectric and magnetic properties of polycrystalline Ba0.90Mn0.10TiO3 (BMTO) ceramic have been investigated to study the effect of magnetic ion (Mn) doping at Ba-site in the well-known ferroelectric (FE) material BaTiO3 (BTO). The polycrystalline ceramic BMTO has been prepared via solid state reaction route. The Wyckoff-site occupancy of the substituted Mn has been determined through x-ray diffraction (XRD) and soft X-ray absorption measurement via confirmation of its oxidation state to be 2+ and that of Ti to be 4+. The temperature dependent XRD, dielectric and pyroelectric studies show all the known transitions similar to the pristine BTO. However, the transition temperatures (Tc) were found shifted towards lower temperatures as compare to the pristine BTO. The shifts in Tc corresponding to cubic-tetragonal and tetragonal-orthorhombic transitions are significant as compared to that of orthorhombic-rhombohedral transition. Frequency dependent dielectric measurements show the space-charge related dielectric relaxation. The dc-magnetization measurements show antiferromagnetic interactions in BMTO. Our results also address the role of Ba site on the ferroelectric properties of BTO.
