Abstract

In the present study, Na$_{0.329}$Bi$_{0.329}$Ba$_{0.042}$Sr$_{0.30}$TiO$_3$ (NBBST) and its solid solutions with Nd(Mg$_{0.5}$Ti$_{0.5}$)O$_3$ (NMT), Nd(Mg$_{2/3}$Nb$_{1/3}$)O$_3$ (NMN), and Nd(Zn$_{2/3}$Nb$_{1/3}$)O$_3$ (NZN) were synthesized and investigated. The phase composition, microstructure, dielectric properties, and impedance characteristics were analyzed for their optimized dense sintered forms. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of a single-phase perovskite structure in all compositions within the detection limit. All ceramics exhibited dense microstructures; however, the doped samples showed a reduced average grain size compared to pure NBBST. Among the compositions studied, the 0.98NBBST-0.02NZN solid solution demonstrated superior dielectric and electrical performance. This composition exhibited a low electrical conductivity (${\sim}3.98 \times 10^{-7}\ \mathrm{S\ cm^{-1}}$ at $600{^\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and at a frequency of $100\ \mathrm{Hz}$), low dielectric loss ($\tan\delta < 0.05$), and a high dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r \approx 2500$), with excellent temperature stability of capacitance from below room temperature up to $324{^\circ}\mathrm{C}$. Additionally, the Cole-Cole plot of the 0.98NBBST-0.02NZN ceramic revealed a higher resistance at $600{^\circ}\mathrm{C}$ compared to the other investigated compositions.

AB  - In the present study, Na$_{0.329}$Bi$_{0.329}$Ba$_{0.042}$Sr$_{0.30}$TiO$_3$ (NBBST) and its solid solutions with Nd(Mg$_{0.5}$Ti$_{0.5}$)O$_3$ (NMT), Nd(Mg$_{2/3}$Nb$_{1/3}$)O$_3$ (NMN), and Nd(Zn$_{2/3}$Nb$_{1/3}$)O$_3$ (NZN) were synthesized and investigated. The phase composition, microstructure, dielectric properties, and impedance characteristics were analyzed for their optimized dense sintered forms. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of a single-phase perovskite structure in all compositions within the detection limit. All ceramics exhibited dense microstructures; however, the doped samples showed a reduced average grain size compared to pure NBBST. Among the compositions studied, the 0.98NBBST-0.02NZN solid solution demonstrated superior dielectric and electrical performance. This composition exhibited a low electrical conductivity (${\sim}3.98 \times 10^{-7}\ \mathrm{S\ cm^{-1}}$ at $600{^\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and at a frequency of $100\ \mathrm{Hz}$), low dielectric loss ($\tan\delta < 0.05$), and a high dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r \approx 2500$), with excellent temperature stability of capacitance from below room temperature up to $324{^\circ}\mathrm{C}$. Additionally, the Cole-Cole plot of the 0.98NBBST-0.02NZN ceramic revealed a higher resistance at $600{^\circ}\mathrm{C}$ compared to the other investigated compositions.

  abstract = {In the present study, Na\$\_{0.329}\$Bi\$\_{0.329}\$Ba\$\_{0.042}\$Sr\$\_{0.30}\$TiO\$\_3\$ (NBBST) and its solid solutions with Nd(Mg\$\_{0.5}\$Ti\$\_{0.5}\$)O\$\_3\$ (NMT), Nd(Mg\$\_{2/3}\$Nb\$\_{1/3}\$)O\$\_3\$ (NMN), and Nd(Zn\$\_{2/3}\$Nb\$\_{1/3}\$)O\$\_3\$ (NZN) were synthesized and investigated. The phase composition, microstructure, dielectric properties, and impedance characteristics were analyzed for their optimized dense sintered forms. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of a single-phase perovskite structure in all compositions within the detection limit. All ceramics exhibited dense microstructures; however, the doped samples showed a reduced average grain size compared to pure NBBST. Among the compositions studied, the 0.98NBBST-0.02NZN solid solution demonstrated superior dielectric and electrical performance. This composition exhibited a low electrical conductivity (\${\sim}3.98 \times 10^{-7}\ \mathrm{S\ cm^{-1}}\$ at \$600{^\circ}\mathrm{C}\$ and at a frequency of \$100\ \mathrm{Hz}\$), low dielectric loss (\$\tan\delta < 0.05\$), and a high dielectric constant (\$\varepsilon\_r \approx 2500\$), with excellent temperature stability of capacitance from below room temperature up to \$324{^\circ}\mathrm{C}\$. Additionally, the Cole-Cole plot of the 0.98NBBST-0.02NZN ceramic revealed a higher resistance at \$600{^\circ}\mathrm{C}\$ compared to the other investigated compositions.},
