Effects of La doping on diffused ferroelectric phase transition, electric and dielectric properties of lead-free SrBi2Ta2O9 ceramics

Citric acid-assisted method was used to synthesize pure polycrystalline La-doped SrBi2Ta2O9 powders which were uniaxially pressed and sintered under different conditions. La doping of SrBi2Ta2O9 resulted in the shortening of Ta-O bond lengths, but increased the unit cell volume and decreased the cry...

description Citric acid-assisted method was used to synthesize pure polycrystalline La-doped SrBi2Ta2O9 powders which were uniaxially pressed and sintered under different conditions. La doping of SrBi2Ta2O9 resulted in the shortening of Ta-O bond lengths, but increased the unit cell volume and decreased the crystallite size. The effect of sintering process on dielectric properties was studied in order to find optimal sintering conditions. Dielectric loss, measured at room temperature, increases when sintering temperature rises from 1100 to 1200°C, as well as when sintering time increases from 6 to 9 h. Thus, further investigation was performed on the sample sintered at 1100°C for 6 h. The obvious change in ε′ around TC and diffusive phase transition, pronounced for the ceramics with higher La content, were characteristic of the doped ceramics. The diffused ferroelectric phase transition behaviour is caused by structural disorder at the Sr-sites (Sr, Bi and La cations) in the Bi2O2 layers and perovskite blocks. The electrical conductivity increases steadily at lower temperatures (below 200 °C), but shows a strong temperature- and frequency-dependent trend at higher frequencies. La-doping decreases conductivity by hindering charge carriers’ long-distance mobility.
