Antiferroelectric Phase

Alkali-free barium boroaluminosilicate glass-modified PLZST antiferroelectric ceramics with glass contents between 0 and 8 wt.% have been fabricated respectively by a traditional solid phase reaction. The PLZST ceramics doped with alkali-free barium boroaluminosilicate glass showed typical antiferroelectric phase when the glass contents were below 6 wt.% and the refined grains were observed. The addition of glass decreased the dielectric constant of samples. With increasing of the glass additives, both the Curie temperature and the remanent polarization deceased. It may be that Ba2+ entered in the perovskite structure, which acts as an important modified ion in the alkali-free barium boroaluminosilicate glass. Larger forward antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition field (EAFE-FE >50 kV/cm) and higher breakdown strength (EBDS ≥105 kV/cm) were displayed in glass-modified PLZST ceramics. The improvement properties of samples were benefit for energy storage which is desired for the high power energy storage capacitors and pulsed power applications.

Pure and Nb2O5 doped PbZrO3 exhibit the following phases: antiferroelectric, ferroelectric, and paraelectric. By means of measurements of heat transition, dielectric constant in paraelectric phase, determination of electrical field – temperature phase diagrams, we calculate the free energy of each phase. Given that the free energy can be developed in powers of the polarization, we show the coefficients of the ferroelectric phase are slightly modified by the addition of Nb2O5, while those of the antiferroelectric phase vary by a factor greater than two.

Lead zirconate titenate (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, PZT) is a well known piezoelectric substance. Three phases have been reported in modified PbZr0.95Ti0.05O3 (PZT 95/5) bodies -- a low temperature rhombohedral ferroelectric phase (FR1), a high temperature rhombohedral ferroelectric phase (FR2) and a cubic paraelectric phase (PC). A pressure induced ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase transformation has also been reported in modified PZT 95/5 ceramics. These phase transformations are of technological importance, as this ceramic has practical applications as a power source in which large quantities of charge are released by shock wave depolarization.Both as-fired and pressure de-poled samples of PZT 95/5 ceramics with 0.8% Nb were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Specimens for electron microscopical study were prepared from thin sections, which had been sliced by diamond saw and then mechanically polished with 600 grit SiC paper followed by diamond polishing to about 100 μm thickness. These specimens were then argon ion milled to electron transparency; a liquid N2 cooled stage was used to try and prevent the occurrence of phase transformations due to heating during ion beam thinning. Special care was also taken to minimize beam heating during electron microscopical observation.

The Stability

The effect of lower valent substituents on the stability of the antiferroelectric phase of lead zirconate was studied by dielectric spectroscopy, Sawyer–Tower polarization methods, and electron diffraction techniques. The stability of an intermediate ferroelectric phase region was found to be enhanced with increasing lower valent substitution concentration. The influences of substituents of different ionic size and valence on the stabilization of the intermediate ferroelectric phase were differentiated. In general, lower valent substituents, such as K+ and Fe3+ affected antiferroelectric phase stability more significantly than higher valent ones.

(Pb0.97La0.02)(Zr0.92-xSnxTi0.08)O3 (PLZST) ferroelectric ceramics with x=0.40, 0.25, 0.15, respectively, were investigated. It was found that these ceramics with different Zr:Sn ratios were perovskite structure. With increasing of Zr:Sn ratio, the phase-transition electric-field of antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase increased. when x>0.15,All the samples have double hysteresis loops with antiferroelectric phase characteristics. Yet, when the electric field was removed at lower temperature of -5oC and -20oC, for x=0.25 and 0.40, the electric field induced FE phase can remain metastable FE state. But for x=0.15, the induced FE phase recover to AFE phase even at -20oC. Yet, electric field induced FE phase exist as metastable FE phase. TFE-AFE of the samples was -5oC, -20oC, when x=0.40, x=0.25, respectively. With increasing of Zr:Sn ratio, TFE-AFE increaseddecreased, Tc was hardly changed, but the dielectric constant increased from ~2500 to ~6000, the peak changed sharply, dielectric loss increased continuously with increasing of Zr:Sn ratio.

Antiferroelectric Phase

The re-entrant ferroelectric phase (Sm- C re * ) is investigated in the framework of a molecular–statistical approach. It was found that anticlinic synpolar along the smectic layer normal phase can arise below the antiferroelectric phase (Sm- C A * ) in the temperature scale, and we suggest this phase to be Sm- C re * . We have shown that in the vicinity of Sm- C A * –Sm- C re * phase transition temperature, a very small electric field can cause a transition into the bidomain synclinic phase, where the helical pitch is unwound and the tilt planes have contributions either along or against the electric field. The helical rotation, elasticity and deformation of the Sm- C * , Sm- C A * and Sm- C re * structures without electric field or in the presence of electric field, as well as the dielectric response, are investigated. It is shown that Sm- C re * can arise solely due to the dipole–dipole interaction, and thus, in contrast to the conventional (improper) ferroelectric Sm- C * , appears to be the proper ferroelectric phase.

The paper presents results of studies of the formation of phases during the solid-state synthesis in the [([Formula: see text] system of solid solutions with [Formula: see text]-site substitutions. The substitutions by zirconium, tin and ion complexes (In[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text] and (Fe[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text] have been studied. It has been found that the synthesis is a multi-step process associated with the formation of a number of intermediate phases (depending on the compositions and calcination temperatures). Single-phase solid solutions have been produced at the calcination temperatures in the interval 1000–1100[Formula: see text]C. An increase in the substituting ions concentration leads to a linear increase of the crystal cell size. At the same time, the tolerance factor gets reduced boosting the stability of the antiferroelectric phase as compared to that of the ferroelectric phase.
