Abstract
Bismuth-layered compound Ca0.15Sr1.85Bi4−xNdxTi5O18 (CSBNT, x = 0–0.25) ferroelectric ceramics samples were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The effects of Nd3+ doping on their ferroelectric and dielectric properties were investigated. The remnant polarization Pr of CSBNT ceramics increases at beginning then decreases with increasing of Nd3+ doping level, and a maximum Pr value of 9.6 μC/cm2 at x = 0.05 was detected with a coercive field Ec = 80.2 kV/cm. Nd3+ dopant not only decreases the Curie temperature linearly, but also the dielectric constant (er) and dielectric loss tangent (tan δ). The magnitudes of er and tan δ at the frequency of 100 kHz are estimated to be 164 and 0.0083 at room temperature, respectively.
