Bi:SrTiO3: A quantum ferroelectric and a relaxor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum ferroelectric and ferroelectric relaxor behavior has been found in (Sr121.5xBix)TiO3. For x <0.0267, the quantum ferroelectric relationship T«m}(x2xc) 1/2 holds with xc'0.0005, and obvious hysteresis loops were observed. The polarization relaxation shows critical slowing down. At high Bi concentration, a crossover from quantum ferroelectric to relaxor behavior occurred. The coexistence of ferroelectric and relaxor behavior in Bi:SrTiO3 was attributed to a ferroelectric domain state induced by random fields. @S0163-1829~98!02314-5# BRIEF REPORTS

Dielectric relaxation modes in bismuth-doped SrTiO3: The relaxor behavior
The ferroelectric relaxor behavior in Bi-doped SrTiO3 was studied in the temperature range 1.5–300 K and up to 400 MHz. Some interesting results are shown: ~1! Typical ferroelectric relaxor behavior develops out of the other impurity relaxation modes. The ferroelectric relaxor peaks occur on the quantum-paraelectric background. The polarization irreversibility effect observed after field coolin...
متن کاملImpurity-induced ferroelectric relaxor behavior in quantum paraelectric SrTiO3 and ferroelectric BaTiO3
The ‘‘ferroelectric relaxor’’ behavior, which shows a rounded permittivity peak with low-frequency dispersion, was first observed by Smolenskii et al. in the Ba(Ti,Sn)O3 solid solution in 1954. Later, this phenomenon was also observed in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ~PMN! compounds by the same group. Smolenskii et al. named this phenomenon as a behavior of the ferroelectric with diffuse phase transition ~D...

In this article, we report the evolution of the dielectric behavior from a dielectric relaxor to a ferroelectric relaxor with variation of Bi concentration in (Sr121.5xBix)TiO3 (0<x<0.2). In the doping range 0.0005<x<0.002, two dielectric modes A and B are induced. The temperature (Tm) where the permittivity maximum occurs for modes A and B is independent of Bi concentration and of dc electric ...
متن کاملThe origin of ultrahigh piezoelectricity in relaxor-ferroelectric solid solution crystals
The discovery of ultrahigh piezoelectricity in relaxor-ferroelectric solid solution single crystals is a breakthrough in ferroelectric materials. A key signature of relaxor-ferroelectric solid solutions is the existence of polar nanoregions, a nanoscale inhomogeneity, that coexist with normal ferroelectric domains. Despite two decades of extensive studies, the contribution of polar nanoregions ...
متن کاملPhonon-coupled impurity dielectric modes in Sr1À1.5xBixTiO3
SrTiO3 ~ST! doped with Bi shows three Bi-induced dielectric modes ~modes A, B, and C) that are superimposed upon the quantum paraelectric behavior of pure ST. In ST doped with low concentration Bi, the modes A and B exhibit dielectric behavior arising from noninteracting polar clusters. The evidence of the dielectric modes coupling with optical phonons is observed from Raman spectra. The dielec...
