Abstract

Two temperature dependence dielectric anomalies are observed in the series of CoFe2O4 (CFO)/Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNdT) composite ceramics arising from a periodic structural fluctuation found by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) in the BNdT phase. The latter dielectric anomaly upshifts from 580°C to 760°C with the increasing of CFO contents. Higher Curie temperatures are attributed to the larger orthorhombicity values with the effects of the different thermal expansion coefficients and the coherent interfaces between BNdT and CFO. The conductive mechanisms stemming from grain boundaries and plate boundaries were merged into one process approximately for proper CFO contents.
