K0.5La0.5Bi2Nb2O9, a relaxor, was synthesized and the structural studies confirmed it to be an n=2 member of the Aurivillius oxides. The (1/2){h00} and (1/2){hk0} types of superlattice reflections in the electron diffraction ...Read more >
K0.5La0.5Bi2Nb2O9, a relaxor, was synthesized and the structural studies confirmed it to be an n=2 member of the Aurivillius oxides. The (1/2){h00} and (1/2){hk0} types of superlattice reflections in the electron diffraction patterns reflected the presence of ordered polar regions. A broad dielectric peak with frequency dependent dielectric maximum temperature was observed. The dielectric relaxation obeyed the Vogel-Fulcher relation wherein Ea=0.04 eV, Tf=428 K,and omegao=1010 Hz. The diffuseness parameter gamma=2.003 established the relaxor nature and it was attributed to the A-site cationic disorder. The piezoelectric d31 coefficient was 0.5 pC/N at 300 K and 2 pC/N at 480 K.Read less <
