Impact of phase transition sequence on the electrocaloric effect in Pb(Nb,Zr,Sn,Ti)O-3 ceramics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phase transition sequence in PbZrO3-based ceramics can be readily altered by chemical modification. In Pb0.99Nb0.02[(Zr0.57Sn0.43)(0.92)Ti-0.08](0.98)O-3 (PNZST 43/8/2), the sequence is ferroelectricantiferroelectric-paraelectric during heating, while in Pb0.99Nb0.02 (Zr0.85Sn0.13Ti0.02)(0.98)O-3 (PNZST 13/2/2), it is antiferroelectric-ferroelectric-paraelectric during heating. The electrocaloric effect associated with the antiferroelectricferroelectric phase transition is studied in both ceramics via indirect measurement. PNZST 43/8/2 is observed to display a positive electrocaloric effect; in contrast, PNZST 13/ 2/2 exhibits a negative effect.

Can an electric field induce an antiferroelectric phase out of a ferroelectric phase?
It has been widely accepted that electric fields favor the ferroelectric phase with parallel electric dipoles over the antiferroelectric phase. With detailed measurements in polycrystalline ceramics of Pb(0.99)Nb(0.02[(Zr(0.57)Sn(0.43)(1-y)Ti(y)](0.98)O(3), we demonstrate in this Letter that electric fields can induce an antiferroelectric phase out of a ferroelectric phase, i.e., trigger an app...
متن کاملDFT Study on Oxygen-Vacancy Stability in Rutile/Anatase TiO2: Effect of Cationic Substitutions
In this study, a full-potential density functional theory was used to investigate the effects of Ti substitution by different cations. In both rutile and anatase, Ti atom was replaced by Ce, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo, Nb, Zr, and Y. Phase stability, electronic structure and formation energy of oxygen vacancy were compared for rutile and anatase. The results indicated that substitution of Ce and Zr increas...

متن کاملDirect current field adjustable ferroelectric behaviour in (Pb, Nb)(Zr, Sn, Ti)O3 antiferroelectric thin films
Abstract (Pb,Nb)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 antiferroelectric (AFE) thin films have been fabricated on LaNiO3/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si wafers using a sol–gel process. The electric field-induced antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric (AFE–FE) phase transformation behaviour and its dependence on the temperature were examined by investigating the dielectric constant and dielectric loss versus temperature and electrical field. ...

A fine grain, relaxor-based piezoelectric ceramic 0.7 Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O3-0.3PbTiO3 (PMN-30% PT) has been investigated, which was fabricated using the columbite precursor method. The complete set of electromechanical properties of the piezoceramic at room temperature is determined using a combination of ultrasonic and resonance techniques. This fine-grain ceramic (grain size < or = 2.5 microm)...
