Abstract
Single-phase lead-free Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) perovskite ferroelectric ceramic was produced using a solid-state reaction method. A detailed investigation of the structural and electrical properties of BNT ceramic is conferred. According to phase analysis employing Rietveld refined X-Ray diffraction, the crystal structure is single phase with rhombohedral (R3C) symmetry. Raman spectra measurement also confirms the rhombohedral structure of BNT by originating numerous peaks from the TiO6 octahedron. The ferroelectric character of the BNT sample was established by a hysteresis loop measurement of polarisation vs electric field (P-E). The remnant polarisation (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) have characteristic values of 1.63 μC/cm2 and 29.91 kV/cm, respectively. The ferroelectric phase change is seen in the temperature-dependent dielectric research, with a transition temperature of 323°C. The compound possessed a low value of tanδ even at a high temperature (500°C) at 1 MHz. The prepared sample exhibited excellent dielectric characteristics from room temperature to high temperatures, making it ideal for various applications.
