Abstract

Abstract (LiBi)-doped CaBi2Nb2O9 (CBN) ceramics were synthesized by the conventional solid-state sintering method. The effects of (LiBi) additives on the crystalline structure were explored by Rietveld refinements. The results showed that pseudo-tetragonal distortion was induced by (LiBi) additives when x ≥ 0.35. This structural distortion increased the spontaneous polarization along a-axis and decreased the quits spontaneous polarization along b-axis, which was beneficial to the polarization switching, thus promoting the ferroelectricity and decreasing the coercive field (EC) of CBN based ceramics. The Ca0.60(Li0.5Bi0.5)0.40Bi2Nb2O9 (CBNLB-40) ceramics possess the optimum ferroelectric property with 2Pr of 10 μC/cm2 and a coercive field (EC) lower than 100 kV/cm. Moreover, it exhibits a good ferroelectric fatigue-free property within 107 switched cycles. This work may provide a new method to promote the performance of Aurivillius ferroelectric-based non-volatile memory devices.
