ABSTRACT |
The crystal structure and ferroelectricity of the $(1-x)BiFeO_3;(BF)-xPbTiO_3$ (PT) ceramic system with the addition of $DyFeO_3$ (DF) have been investigated for attaining a high temperature piezoelectric material. This study is focused on the relation between crystal structure and ferroelectric property with the addition of DF over the phase boundary in the (1-x)BF-xPT system. Hysteresis curves of polarization-electric field at room temperature have been measured. The X-ray and neutron diffraction data were analyzed by the rietveld refinement method. The addition of 0.1 mole DF into BF-PT system greatly increases the ferroelectric remanant polarization Pr values, e.g. 17 ${mu}C/cm^2$ in 0.6BF-yDF-(0.4-y)PT and 31${mu}C/cm^2$ in 0.5BF-yDF-(0.5.y)PT, respectively. The improved Pr value has been discussed in relation with crystal structure and electrical property. |
