Abstract

The electrical properties of Er2O3-doped bismuth titanate,Bi4-xErxTi3O12 (BET) ceramics prepared by a conventional electroceramic technique were investigated. XRD analyses revealed Bi-layered perovskite structure in all samples. SEM micrographs showed randomly oriented and plate-like morphology. For the samples with x=0.4 and 1.0 P-E hysteresis loops were characterized by large leakage current, whereas for the samples with x=0.6 and 0.8 P-E hysteresis loops were the saturated and undistorted hysteresis loops. The remanent polarization ( Pr ) and coercive field (Ec) of the BET ceramic with x=0.8 were above 20μC/cm2 and 65KV/cm , respectively.
