Abstract

AbstractThe effect of Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3 (BCT) substitution on the structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of mechano‐chemically synthesized lead‐free (1−x)Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3‐(x)Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3 (x=0.0, 0.10, 0.20, 0.35, and 0.50) ceramics have been investigated. XRD patterns confirms the formation of tetragonal phase with P4mm space group. The results indicate a strong influence of BCT substitution on the structural and electrical properties of Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 (BST) ceramic. BST–BCT ceramic for x=0.35 have shown high dielectric constant εm~21 800, high remnant polarization Pr~10.16 μC/cm2, large piezoelectric charge constant D33~293 pC/N, large piezoelectric voltage constant g33~5.80 mV·m/N, and highest dielectric breakdown strength Ebd~224 kV/cm among the five synthesized samples. The correlation between structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of the BST ceramic with increasing BCT content have been systematically described on the basis of domain wall motion and grain size effect.
