摘要
Barium stannate titanate [Ba(SnxTi1-x)O-3, x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4] ceramics were prepared using a conventional solid-state reaction process. Their dielectric properties were measured under direct current bias fields ranging from 0 to 2.5 kV/cm. A transformation from normal to relaxor ferroelectrics was observed when xgreater than or equal to0.3. Broken long-range order or "dirty" ferroelectric domains and nanodomains were observed in Ba(Sn0.1Ti0.9)O-3 and Ba(Sn0.4Ti0.6)O-3 by transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Voltage driven tunability was found to decrease with increasing Sn content. The change from normal ferroelectric into relaxor ferroelectric had a negative impact on the tunability value of the materials. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
