STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 FERROELECTRIC MATERIALS
Keywords:
X-ray diffraction, lattice parameters, X-ray density, bulk density and porosityAbstract
Objective: Ferroelectric materials are polar materials characterized by a transition to a paraelectric,nonpolar phase at a temperature at which their dielectric permittivity presents a maximum. Ferroelectric materials exhibit spontaneous polarization, the direction of which can be switched by applying an external electric field. Ferroelectric materials are a sub class of Pyroelectrics and Piezoelectrics.
Materials and Methods: Ferroelectrics (Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3) (BST) were prepared by a conventional standard double sintering ceramic method. The structural properties of ferroelectrics were investigated.
Result: The X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out to find the planes and calculate the lattice parameters, X-ray density, bulk density, intensity of highest peak and porosity of the ferrite and ferroelectrics.
Conclusion: The analysis of X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the prepared Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 sample possesses Pervoskite tetragonal spinel structure. No other impurity phase was detected.
