Abstract

Neodymium and zirconium modified strontium bismuth titanate ceramics with content changing from 2.5 to 10 at% Nd and a 2.5 at% Zr of SrBi4Ti4O15 (SrNdxBi4-xZryTi4-yO15, (x = 0.00, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1, y = 0.00 and 0.025) have been prepared by solid state reaction method and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), dielectric response, ferroelectric hysteresis, electromechanical coupling coefficient, and piezoelectric charge coefficient. From hysteresis loop, the remnant polarization and coercive field were calculated and explained. Dielectric analysis explained the sample behavior. Piezoelectric charge and electromechanical coupling coefficients were found to be increased with the addition of Zr and Nd.
