Effects of the amount of Co^3+ on the electrical properties and phase transition are studied. The results indicate that the addition of Co^3+ enhances the mechanical quality factor Q^3+ significantly, whereas the dissipation factor tanδ has a minimum value at x = 3.5.

The present 0.92(Bio.aNao.5) TiO3-0.08BaTiO3+3.5 moi% Co^3+ ceramics exhibit good performance with mechanical quality factor Qm = 910, piezoelectric constant d33 = 106pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling kp =10% and dissipation factor tanδ = 1.1% at 1 kHz. Saturated polarization hysteresis loops have been obtained for BNBT-Co ceramics. Two dielectric peaks at depolarization temperature Td and Tm appear in the curves of ε33^T vs temperature for the pure BNBT ceramics. However, the first dielectric peak Td disappears after the addition of Co^3+, which means that the transition from ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase has been eliminated.展开更多
