Synthesis, structure and electrical studies of praseodymium doped barium zirconium titanate

A feasible pathway to stabilize monoclinic and tetragonal phase coexistence in barium titanate-based ceramics

“…The result is in contradiction with the results of other works, where a shift towards higher values of the Curie temperature was observed as the Bi content increased. 24 Moreover, there is a rather widespread concept that when BaTiO 3 is substituted or doped with other elements such as Pr, 73 Sr, 74 or Sm 16 (among others), a diffusive behavior is induced by attenuating the transition and widening it in temperature. The diffusivity-inducing structural mechanism also appears when Bi is substituted, as reported in other studies 24 since this element is one of the cornerstones for obtaining lead-free relaxor ceramic materials with a high technological applicability.…”

Functional materials based on high-purity zirconium compounds for applications in alternative energy

“…Structural materials such as barium titanate, calcium titanate and zirconate are used in the production of piezoceramics [3]. The class of new materials includes high-purity zirconium and hafnium oxides as the basis of heat-resistant coatings for turbine blades of gas processing units (ZrO2•Y2O3) [4], new generation dielectrics (HfO2) for the production of supercomputers [5]. Zirconium, aluminum and barium compounds are used in carbon monoxide oxidation catalysts [6][7][8].…”

Dielectric Properties and Structures of Zn-doped Barium Zirconate Titanate Films

“…Doping is a common method used to adjust the material properties. In order to improve the optical, electrical and other properties of barium titanate and barium zirconate titanate materials, people have done a lot of researches on doping [8][9][10][11][12]. Some dopants such as Ce 2+ , La 3+ , and Hf 2+ that can replace the B sites of ABO 3 perovskite structure and act as electron acceptor have been used to improve the dielectric properties of BZT [13][14][15].…”
