Abstract
Effects of Ca-substitution on the crystal structure and dielectric properties were investigated for Ba5SmTi3Nb7O30 tungsten bronze ceramics. The tetragonal tungsten bronze structure in space group P4bm was determined in Ba4CaSmTi3Nb7O30 ceramics, which was the same for Ba5SmTi3Nb7O30. The c-axis off center displacement in both B1 and B2-sites for Ba5SmTi3Nb7O30 was slightly larger than that in BaCaSmTi3Nb7O30, while the distortion of Ti/Nb(2)O6 octahedra in Ba4CaSmTi3Nb7O30 was obviously suppressed compared with that in Ba5SmTi3Nb7O30. Though there were also two dielectric anomalies observed in Ba4CaSmTi3Nb7O30, the relaxor ferroelectric nature was changed to the normal ferroelectric one, and both the endothermal peak in differential scanning calorimetry curve and the significant thermal hysteresis of the phase transition confirmed the first order ferroelectric transition. These results indicated that the ferroelectric nature of Ba4CaSmTi3Nb7O30 was more close to that in Ba4Sm2Ti4Nb6O30, and it could be concluded that the ferroelectric nature in filled tungsten bronze ceramics was primarily dominated by the A-site occupation rather than B-site occupation.
