Abstract
One of the important lead-free ferroelectric solid solutions, sodium bismuth titanate–barium titanate Na 1/2Bi 1/2TiO 3–BaTiO 3 (NBT–BT) was grown by the conventional flux technique. In order to study the role of oxygen vacancies on the dielectric/ferroelectric properties, some of the crystal samples oriented along (0 0 1) and (1 0 0) planes were subjected to oxygen and nitrogen annealing processes to create different concentrations of oxygen vacancies in the samples. Dielectric and its loss measurements were carried out to analyze the role of oxygen vacancies and their corresponding dielectric behavior on NBT–BT crystals. Electron energy loss spectrum (EELS) has revealed that increasing oxygen vacancies has reduced oxidation states of Ti. X-ray rocking curve analysis has confirmed the degradation in the structural quality also on increasing the oxygen vacancies.
