The purpose of this work is to show the effect of Chromium (Cr) on the microstructural and dielectric properties of solid solution: [Pb(0.975) La0, 015Nd0.01][(Zr0, 524Ti0, 476) (0.9875-(w/4))Nb0.005 CrwO3] with w = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 molar % (abbreviated PLNZNCT) were developed by solid state chemical reaction. The analysis by X-ray diffraction and the calculation of the tolerance factor (t) show a stable single-phase perovskite structure of tetragonal symmetry sintered at 1200°C. The SEM micrograph, the density test and the dielectric measurements indicate that the PLNZNCT ceramic achieves optimal values at 1 mol% Cr3 +. These obtained results, perhaps characterize the classic hard ferroelectric materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
