Dielectric and conductivity measurements were carried out on the 0.95(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3-0.05BaTiO(3) (KNN-5BT) ceramic both as a function of temperature (similar to 350-850 K) and frequency (40 Hz to 100 MHz). A high-temperature dielectric relaxation above Curie temperature (similar to 590 K) was observed and analyzed with the Cole-Cole function. Frequency dependent conductivity was analyzed with an augmented Jonscher relation and exhibited a universal conductivity behavior. The activation energy of dielectric relaxation was estimated to be 1.09 eV. It could be attributed to the thermal motion of double ionized oxygen vacancy or to the formation of defect dipoles between the acceptor ion and charge compensating oxygen vacancies. The mechanism for both the high-temperature dielectric relaxation and the frequency dependent conductivity was proposed based on a possible mode of incorporation of Ba2+ and Ti4+ ions into the KNN lattice sites.

Qiuwei He, Siegbert Schmid, Xue Chen, Biaolin Peng, ChunChun Li, Changzheng Hu, Laijun Liu, Manuel Hinterstein

Summary: This paper reports a novel lead-free tungsten bronze type ceramic, Sr5BiTi3Nb7O30, which exhibits second-order non-linear optical behavior and ferroelectric properties. The disorder on the A and B sites in Sr5BiTi3Nb7O30 leads to strong frequency dispersion and a low phase-transition temperature. The temperature dependence of the dielectric responses is described using a statistical model, and the calculated sizes of polar nanoregions imply a more diffuse ferroelectric transition.

Relaxation behavior and energy storage of A-site substituted Sr4-xNa2-xLaxTa0.6Nb9.4O30 ferroelectric ceramics

Xiao Zheng, Zuheng Jin, Yuejun Dan, Changzheng Hu, Laijun Liu, Liang Fang

Summary: Tungsten bronze ceramics were prepared using the solid-state reaction method to study the influence of La3+ concentration on the microstructure, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties of Sr4 - xNa2 - xLaxTa0.6Nb9.4O30. The introduction of La3+ promoted dipole-glass-like behavior and enhanced dielectric relaxation. Calculations and analysis of polar nanoregions (PNRs) revealed that the stability of the dielectric constant is inversely related to the size of PNRs. It is crucial to obtain small size and a high number of active PNRs, as well as a weak coupling between PNRs and other polar clusters, for energy storage performance. A high energy storage density of 2.06 J/cm(3) was achieved in Sr3.8Na1.8La0.2Ta0.6Nb9.4O30.
