Abstract
Composites of (1 − x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-(x)SrTiO3, where x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.9 are studied. Individual compounds are synthesized by sol gel, and composites are prepared by solid-state sintering process. Through the analysis of X-ray diffraction, lattice parameters are obtained and, from scanning electron microscope (SEM), micro-structure of the samples is observed. The depolarization temperature (Td) and the Curie temperature (Tc) are determined from dielectric studies. Relaxor behavior of the samples is interpreted using modified Curie Weiss law. Control of polarization in sodium bismuth titanate (NBT) is achieved using strontium titanate (SrTiO3-ST) and studied through polarization vs. electric field (PE) loops and piezoelectric measurements. The intra-granual and inter-granual effects on the electrical properties of the ceramics are studied from impedance analysis.
