The Temperature Dependence of the Band Edge Energy in Calcium Barium Niobate
نویسندگان
چکیده
The temperature dependent band edge energy of the novel tungsten bronze type calcium barium niobate (CBN) is measured over a temperature range from 80 K to 573 K. CBN has been under investigation for serveral years and is believed to be a promising material for future applications. Czochralski-grown, colorless single crystals from the congruently melting composition with a calcium content of 0.281 were used. A numerical fit has been applied, comparing the results of CBN to those of the well known relaxor ferroelectric strontium barium niobate (SBN). The band edge energy of CBN was found to be higher than in SBN over the whole temperature range.

Relaxational polarization in polar dielectric barium magnesium niobate
Relaxor-like dielectric behavior, analogous to that found in lead magnesium niobate, has been induced in the polar dielectric barium magnesium niobate ~BMN!. In BMN, the dielectric constant was increased and the temperature of the maximum dielectric constant was shifted to a lower temperature with a decrease in measurement frequency with increasing A-site vacancy concentrations. The frequency d...
متن کاملStructural, dielectric and optical properties of barium strontium sodium niobate (Sr0.7Ba0.3)2NaNb5O15 single crystals
Barium strontium sodium niobate (Sr0.7Ba0.3)2NaNb5O15 (SBNN70) crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry showed that SBNN70 crystals have a stoichiometric composition nearly identical to the starting materials. X-ray diffraction of crushed powder indicated that the SBNN70 crystals are orthorhombic with a = 1.2748 nm, b = 1.1402 nm and c = 0.3898 nm. The...

Lead free potassium sodium niobate (KNN) piezoceramics were synthesized via conventional solid state sintering route. Nano and micron WO3 were separately added to KNN through ball-milling. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of samples sintered in the temperature range of 1110°-1145°C were measured by precision LCR-meter and APC d33-meter devices. The results revealed that micron WO3 partic...
متن کاملEffect of impurities on the optical properties of KTP single crystals grown from flux
In the present work, KTP crystals have been grown by spontaneous nucleation technique in flux medium using K6P4O13 flux. 0.4-1 °C/h cooling rates were applied in the spontaneous nucleation process. The presence and amount of impurities has been determined by using XRF. The optical transmission spectra of impure KTP crystals in the UV–visible region are discussed. The transmission cut-off is cle...
