Abstract
This paper reports the observation of hexagonal phase of barium titanate by Mn doping and its effect on dielectric and magnetic properties. Ceramic samples of Ba0.98Zn0.02Ti1−xMnxO3 (where, x= 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08) were prepared by traditional solid-state reaction route. The hexagonal phase is stabilized in the composition Ba0.98Zn0.02Ti0.92Mn0.08O3 and a very feeble M–H loop is also observed in that composition. This induced magnetism is expected due to the exchange interactions between magnetic polarons formed by oxygen vacancies with Mn ions. The dielectric constant as well as the ferroelectric to paraelectric transition temperature is systematically decreased with increasing of Mn doping concentration. Further to that, the temperature dependent dielectric constant curve is also broadened at transition temperature with increasing of Mn concentration. However, the ferroelectric to paraelectric transition temperature is well above room temperature.
