Formation of magnetic grains in ferroelectric Pb[Zr0.6Ti0.4]O3 ceramics doped with Fe3+ above the solubility limit

Abstract: The effect of excess iron-doping in piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) on the microstructure was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy in conjunction with electron diffraction and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analysis. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has been used to characterize the site of the iron functional centers. A crystalline secondary magnetic phase formed upon sintering, magnetoplumbite (PbFe12O19), has been unequivocally identified. Furthermore… Show more

“…On the other hands, the HF resonance with g -factor close to 2 can be ascribed to the Fe ions and is correlated with the resonant absorption in the cycloidal spin structure and the defect induced free spins2930. Furthermore, a striking absorption splits into two peaks in the Mn-doped BFO spectra, indicating that the magnetic environment for the unpaired electrons in Fe ions has significantly changed due to the Mn ion substitution and the existence of Fe 3+ -exchange-coupled magnetic secondary phase3132.…”

“…The observed signal can be distinguished from that of a magnetically active secondary phase by means of the EPR line-width, 48 which is considerably broader for an exchange-coupled magnetic phase. By numerical doubleintegration of the EPR spectra as well as in comparison with a sample of known spin concentration, it is found that the signal for the ͑Fe Ti Ј -V O •• ͒ • defect dipole has approximately the same intensity as that for the free Fe centers.…”

“…However, excess doping of acceptor-type ions over the solubility limit may result in the formation of secondary phases [8]. On the other hand, donor-type functional centers rather occur as 'isolated' centers (Gd • Pb ) and the corresponding lead vacancies (V Pb ) generated for reason of charge compensation are located in distant coordination spheres [9].…”
