Research paper thumbnail of Effects of magnesium niobate precursor and calcination condition on phase formation and morphology of lead magnesium niobate powders

Both columbite MgNb 2 O 6 and corundum Mg 4 Nb 2 O 9 have been employed as magnesium niobate precursors, with the formation of the PMN phase investigated as a function of calcination conditions by thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particle size distribution of the calcined powders was determined by laser diffraction technique. Morphology, crystal structure and phase composition have been determined via a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques. The magnesium niobate precursor and calcination condition have been found to have a pronounced effect on the phase and morphology evolution of the calcined PMN powders. It is seen that optimisation of calcination conditions can lead to a single-phase PMN in both methods. However, the formation temperature and dwell time for single-phase PMN powders were lower for the synthetic method employing a columbite MgNb 2 O 6 precursor.

The effect of milling time on the phase formation and particle size of PbTiO 3 powder was investigated. Powder samples were characterized using TG-DTA, XRD, SEM and laser diffraction techniques. It was found that an average particle size of 17 nm was achieved at 25 h of vibro-milling after which a higher degree of particle agglomeration was observed on continuation of milling to 35 h. In addition, by employing an appropriate choice of the milling time, a narrow particle size distribution curve was also observed.

Phase formation, densification, microstructure and dielectric properties of the composites were investigated as a function of SiC content. Addition of SiC nanofibers to a PT matrix did not result in unexpected reaction phase. Microstructural observations revealed that some SiC nanofibers were heterogeneously dispersed in PT matrix and at the matrix boundaries. The grain size was decreased significantly with addition of SiC nanofiber. Though the densification and mechanical strength were improved, the dielectric properties of PT/SiC composites were degraded dramatically.

Effects of designed sintering conditions on phase formation, densification, microstructure and dielectric properties of the ceramics were characterized via X-ray diffraction, Archimedes density measurement, scanning electron microscopy and dielectric measurement, respectively. The potentiality of a two-stage sintering technique as a simple ceramic fabrication method to obtain highly dense and pure lead titanate ceramics was demonstrated. It has been found that, under suitable two-stage sintering conditions, dense perovskite lead titanate ceramics can be successfully achieved with better dielectric properties than those of ceramics from a single-stage sintering technique.

In the present study, we have investigated the effect of Ba on the structure, morphology, and dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of BLNLT system. The XRD patterns of all the specimens showed rhombohedral structure at room temperature. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images (FE-SEM) showed grain growth inhibition with Ba content in BLNLT system. The temperature dependence of dielectric constant revealed that the temperature of maximum dielectric constant β€œ 𝑇 π‘š ” and depolarization temperature β€œ 𝑇 𝑑 ” decreased for the sample 𝑧 = 0 . 0 6 and showed high value of dielectric constant with low dielectric loss. These samples exhibited nonlinear behaviour of hysteresis loop. The values of dielectric constant ( πœ€ π‘Ÿ ), dissipation factor (tan Ξ΄), piezo charge coefficient ( 𝑑 3 3 ), remnant polarization ( 𝑃 π‘Ÿ ), and coercive field ( 𝐸 𝑐 ) for the composition 𝑧 = 0 . 0 6 were 1495, 0.06, 20 pC/N, 5 ΞΌC/cm2, and 10.5 kV/cm, respectively.

However, the temperature related to the maximum dielectric constant (T max ) of PIN in relaxor phase is low (at 1 kHz, T max = 66Β°C). In this study, to increasing T max of PIN, lead titanate, PbTiO 3 (PT) was thus added to PIN with compositions (1 Γ€ x)PIN-xPT (for x = 0.1-0.5). The influence of stress on the dielectric properties of (1 Γ€ x)PIN-xPT ceramics was then investigated. The dielectric properties were measured under various uniaxial compressive stress up to 400 MPa. The results showed that the superimposed compression load reduced the dielectric constant in 0.9PIN-0.1PT. For the other compositions, the dielectric constants first increased with the compressive stress, and then decreased when the stress was further increased up to 400 MPa. The dielectric loss tangent of all composition was found to decrease with increasing compressive stress.
