The synthesis temperature of Bi4Ti3O12 platelets was decreased to 650℃ from 900-1100℃. The phase compositions and crystalline morphology of Bi4Ti3O12 platelets were investigated by XRD and SEM. The experimental results indicate that Bi4Ti3O12 platelets containing tetragonal and orthorhombic phase with the size of 1-3μm can be synthesized at 650℃ for 2 h, and the orthorhombic phase becomes the dominant phase at 750℃ for 5 h. The size and proportion of Bi4Ti3O12 platelets increase with the increment of the calcining temperature and holding time. The proportion of platelets increases to about ninety percent, and the platelets grow up to about 3-10μm at 750℃ for 5 h from 1-2μm at 650℃ for 2 h. This technical route provides a new low-temperature molten salt system for preparing platelets by molten salt methods.展开更多
Chemical solution route was used to synthesize Bi3.1La0.9Ti3O12 and CoFe2O4. Alternate CoFe2O4/Bi3.1La0.9Ti3O12 layers were deposited on Pt substrate (Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) by spin coating.

Alternate CoFe2O4/Bi3.1La0.9Ti3O12 layers were deposited on Pt substrate (Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) by spin coating. X-ray diffraction and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) studies show composite-like polycrystalline films. Films were studied for leakage current, dielectric response, ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. Leakage current was low (〈 10^-8 A) in electric field below 120 kV/cm, and the dielectric response shows relaxation. Dielectric loss (tan 8) reduces 〈 3% at 10^6 Hz. Two and four layer structures showed room temperature FE (ferroelectric) and FM (ferromagnetic) responses with FE Pr (polarization) 〉 25℃/cm2 and ferromagnetic Mr (memory) 〉 52 emu/cm3. Co-existence of FE and FM can be attributed to stress due to different crystal structures of the material involved in composite film structure.展开更多

With increasing temperature the sample first has metallic behavior, then strong electrical fluctuations above 100℃, and finally exhib-its stable nonlinear properties characterized by semiconduc-tivity above 300℃ at low field (E ≤ 100 V/mm). The Ar-rhenius law for electrical conductivity by thermal activation is not suitable to explain the anomalous results. XRD analysis reveals that Bi2WO6 is the main phase and Bi4Ti3O12 is the second phase. Based on the phase transition of tungsten tri-oxide from room temperature to about 300℃, the electrical properties of Bi2WTi3O12 ceramics can be explained.展开更多
