Alkoxide sol-precipitation method was adopted as revised chemical route to synthesize the constituent "core" BT powders in a dispersed phase, whereas the distinctive initial nano-sized particles were affected by the pre-calcination temperatures(600-900 ℃).The microstructure of the uncoated BT ceramics revealed an exaggerated grain growth with an optimized dielectric constant(ε(max) 〉9 000) whilst the coated ceramics behaved otherwise(grain growth inhibited) when sintered at an elevated temperature. Regardless of the previously studied solubility limit(about 0.1%) of BT-BA samples, BT@0.6 BT-0.4 BA maintained a maximum dielectric constant(ε(max)) ranging from 1 592 to 1 708 and tan δ less than 2% under a unit mole ratio at room temperature. In view of all these analyses, the initial nanometer sizes of the as-prepared BT-core powders combined with the increase effect of cation substitutions of Bi^(3+) and Al^(3+) in the shell content, induced the diffuse transition phase of BT@0.6 BT-0.4 BA composition.展开更多

Single BiBa and YTi impurities have little structure distortion. Bi forms ionic bond with nearby O atom in single Bi impurity, Y formed [YO6] octahedral in single Y impurity. However, in the co-doped BiB~ and Yr~ structure, Bi formed three valence bonds with nearby O atom, which causes the large structure distortion. The doped ion makes the mobile of Ti4~ difficult and loss local ferroelectricity, which will broaden the dielectric constant temperature curve and increase the temperature stability of BaTiO3 ceramic matrix.展开更多
