Abstract
To gain a deep insight into the contribution of Nd-substitution, we have investigated structural phase transition behavior in Bi4-xNd xTi3O12 (BNT) powders derived from chemical solutions. Differential thermal analysis and thermo-gravimetry (DTA-TG) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that the para- and ferroelectric transition temperature (Curie temperature, Tc) continuously decreased with increasing x. The XRD studies also showed that continuous decrease in lattice anisotropy (a/b, orthorhombicity) with the increase of x. Considering the close relationship with Tc, a/b and spontaneous polarization Ps in displacive ferroelectrics, Nd-substitution may not enhance the intrinsic Ps in Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT). For direct evaluation of Ps upon Nd-substitution, synthesis route to polar-axis-orientated BNT films was investigated.
