Abstract
Perovskite-based (1-x) (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-x NaNbO3 [(1-x) NBT-x NN, x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4] ceramics were sintered at 1080°C. Dielectric characteristics, crystalline structures, and Raman investigations were carried out on (1-x) (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-x NaNbO3 ceramics. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that NaNbO3 ceramic would form a solid solution with (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 ceramic, and and unknown or second phases were not observable as well. NaNbO3 ceramic diffused into the crystalline structure of (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 ceramic and (1-x) NBT-x NN ceramics still revealed a rhombohedral structure. The temperature-dielectric constant curves showed that as NN content increased, the temperature to reveal the maximum dielectric constant (Tm) was raised, the depolarization temperature (Td) was shifted to lower value, and the dielectric constant at Tm and the loss tangent at Td gradually decreased. The Raman bands at 770 and 830 cm-1 were attributed to the existence of the oxygen vacancies. In this study, the relaxor-type ferroelectric properties of NBT ceramic had been improved as NN ceramic was added.
