Acceptor doping and actuation mechanisms in Sr-doped BiFeO3BaTiO3 ceramics
Source abstract
Abstract
BiFeO3-BaTiO3 (BF-BT) ceramics are important multiferroic materials, which are attracting significant attention for potential applications in high temperature lead-free piezoelectric transducers. In the present study, the effects of Sr2+ as an acceptor dopant for Bi3+, in the range from 0 to 1.0% (in mole), on the structure and ferroelectric/piezoelectric properties of 0.7BiFeO3-0.3BaTiO3 ceramics were evaluated. The use of a post-sintering Ar annealing process was found to be an effective approach to reduce electrical conductivity induced by the presence of electron holes associated with reoxidation during cooling. A low Sr dopant concentration (0.3%, in mole) yielded enhanced ferroelectric (Pmax ∼ 0.37 C/m2, Pr ∼ 0.30 C/m2) and piezoelectric (d33 ∼ 178 pC/N, kp ∼ 0.27) properties, whereas higher levels led to chemically heterogeneous core-shell structures and secondary phases with an associated decline in performance. The electric field-induced strain of the Sr-doped BF-BT ceramics was investigated using a combination of digital image correlation macroscopic strain measurements and in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Quantification of the intrinsic (lattice strain) and extrinsic (domain switching) contributions to the electric field induced strain indicated that the intrinsic contribution dominated during the poling process.
