摘要:
利用传统的固相反应法制备了BiFe_(1-x)Mn_xO_3(x=0-0.20)陶瓷样品,研究了不同Mn~(4+)掺杂量对BiFeO_3陶瓷密度、物相结构、显微形貌、介电性能和铁电性能的影响.实验结果表明:所制备的BiFe_(1-x)Mn_xO_3陶瓷样品的钙钛矿主相均已形成,具有良好的晶体结构,且在掺杂量x=0.05附近开始出现结构相变.随着Mn~(4+)添加量的增加,体系的相结构有从菱方钙钛矿向斜方转变的趋势,且样品电容率大幅度增大,而介电损耗也略有增加;在测试频率为10~4Hz条件下,BiFe_(0.85)Mn_(0.15)O_3(ε_r=1065)的ε_r是纯BiFeO_3(ε_r=50.6)的22倍;掺杂后样品的铁电极化性能均有不同程度的提高,可能是由于Mn~(4+)稳定性优于Fe~(3+),高价位Mn~(4+)进行B位替代改性BiFeO_3陶瓷,能减少Bia+挥发,抑制Fe~(3+)价态波动,从而降低氧空位浓度,减小样品的电导和漏电流.
Abstract:
Multiferroic BiFe_(1-x)Mn_xO_3(x = 0,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20)(represented as BF_(1-x)M_xO) ceramics are prepared by the conventional solid state reaction technique.The effects of Mn~(4+) doping on density,phase structure,morphology,dielectric and ferroelectric properties are investigated.The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples indicate that the typical perovskite phase structure of BiFeO_3 is formed,and a phase transition starts near x=0.05,i.e.,the phase structure is distorted from rhombohedral to orthorhombic by Mn~(4+) doping.The dielectric susceptibility of the sample is significantly increased and the dielectric loss is slightly increased with the increase of Mn~(4+) content.The dielectric constantε_r of the BiFe_(0.15)Mn_(0.15)O_3 ceramic at 10 kHz is as high as 1065,22 times larger than that for pure BiFeO_3 It is suggested by hysteresis loop measurements that the ferroelectric property of the BF_(1-x)M_xO ceramics is improved and the remanent polarization is increased by Mn~(4+) doping.This is probably because Mn~(4+) is more stable than Fe~(3+), and the B-site doping with higher valent Mn~(4+) could reduce the volatilization of Bi~(3+) and suppress the valence fluctuation of Fe~(3+), thereby reducing the concentration of oxygen vacancies and the leakage current in the ceramic.
