Dielectric Properties of Sr-Doped BaZrO3 Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Perovskite compounds have received keen interest from academic research due to their unique properties such as ferroelectric, pyroelectric, piezoelectric, and dielectric properties. Nano sized oxides of strontium doped barium zirconate of general formula Ba1-xSrxZrO3 (x= 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) have been prepared by a solid-state procedure. The surface morphology, microstructure, and phase analysis, of the sintered ceramics were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Scanning electron microscopic studies showed the formation of cubic and hexagonal nanoparticles with an average grain size of 1.6μm±0.47 and 0.82±0.35μm. Dielectric studies were carried out as a function of frequency to explore the electrical properties of Sr-doped BaZrO3.
