Lead-free ceramics of composition Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃-(Bi₁/₂K₁/₂)TiO₃-(Bi₁/₂Na₁/₂)TiO₃ were prepared
using solid state synthesis techniques. The dielectric spectra showed a Tmax of more than 320 °C
for all compositions, and the transitions became increasingly diffuse as the Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃
content increased. A lower temperature transition, indicating a transformation from an ergodic to a
non-ergodic...
Lead-free Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃-(Bi₁/₂K₁/₂)TiO₃-(Bi₁/₂Na₁/₂)TiO₃ (BMT-BKT-BNT) ceramics have
been shown to exhibit large electromechanical strains under high electric fields along with
negligible fatigue under strong electric fields. To investigate the role of point defects on the
fatigue characteristics, the composition 5BMT-40BKT-55BNT was doped to incorporate acceptor and
donor defects on the A and...
The need for miniaturization without compromising cost and performance continues to motivate research in advanced capacitor devices. In this report, multilayer ceramic capacitors based on relaxor BaTiO₃-Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ (BT-BZT) were fabricated and characterized. In bulk ceramic embodiments, BT-BZT has been shown to exhibit relative permittivities greater than 1000, high resistivities (ρ > 1...
