Ba{[Gax,Tax]Ti(1-2x)}O3 ceramics with x equal to 0, 0.0025, 0.005, 0.01, 0.025 and 0.05 have been prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. Structural and dielectric characterization have been performed to investigate the effect of…
We here report the substitution effects of the smaller Ca for the bulky Ba in (Ba1-xCax)(Ti1-yZry)O3 perovskite oxides for two systems (Ba1-xCax)TiO3 with y=0 and (Ba1-xCax)(Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3 with y=0.1. Ca off-centering was found to play a…
Polycrystalline sample of (Ba_{0.90}Pb_{0.10})(Ti_{0.90}Sn_{0.10})O_3 was obtained by means of a conventional ceramic technology. The dielectric measurements were performed depending on temperature and frequency of electric measuring field.…
A single crystal of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT), composition Pb(Zr0.80Ti0.20)O3, was studied by polarized-Raman scattering as a function of temperature. Raman spectra reveal that the local structure deviates from the average structure in…
The solid solution $0.5Ba(Ti_{0.8}Zr_{0.2})O_3$-$0.5(Ba_{0.7}Ca_{0.3})TiO_3$ (BCZT) has become a promising member of the lead-free piezoelectric materials because of its exceptionally high piezoelectric properties. In this study, we focus…
Method of derivation of phenomenological thermodynamic potential of solid solutions is proposed in which the interaction of the order parameters of constituents is introduced through the account of elastic strain due to misfit of the…
Substitutions of the zirconium and tin ions along with the indium-niobium and iron-niobium complexes for titanium in the barium modified NBT solid solutions impact the formation of phases in the process of the solid state synthesis and the…
The structural phase transition in hexagonal BaMnO$_3$ occurring at $T_c$=130 K was studied in ceramic samples using electron and X-ray diffraction, second harmonic generation as well as by dielectric and lattice dynamic spectroscopies. The…
Full pattern Le-Bail refinement using x-ray powder diffraction profiles of Sr1-xCaxTiO3 for x=0.02, 0.04 in the temperature range 12 to 300 K reveals anomalies in the unit cell parameters at 170, 225 K due to an antiferrodistortive (cubic…
The influence of the B-site ion substitutions in (1-x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3-xBaTiO3 system of solid solutions on the relative stability of the ferroelectric and antiferroelectric phases has been studied. The ions of zirconium, tin, along with…
The current controversies about the existence of an intermediate 'beta' phase of BiFeO_3 and the high temperature paraelectric 'gamma' phase are resolved by studying the sequence of ferroic transitions in 0.8BiFeO_3-0.2Pb(Fe_1/2Nb_1/2)O_3…
We report on a thermal-expansion study of the ferroelectric phase transition in insulating Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$TiO$_3$ ($x=0.009$) and its evolution upon increasing charge-carrier concentration up to $n\simeq 60 \times 10^{19}$cm$^{-3}$.…
In this work, the potential to exploit Aurivillius higher order composition (n=6) given by Bi4Ti3O12-3BiFeO3 as single phase and high temperature magnetoelectric materials are well explored by elaborately studying the concerned structure…
A detailed investigation using variable temperature powder neutron diffraction demonstrates that BiFeO3 undergoes a phase transition from the ferroelectric alpha phase (rhombohedral, R3c) to a paraelectric beta phase (orthorhombic, Pbnm)…
The investigation of the structural phase transition in the vicinity of the Curie temperature $T_c$ of LiNb$_{1-x}$Ta$_x$O$_3$ crystals is motivated by the expected combination of advantageous high-temperature properties of LiNbO$_3$ and…

Theoretical {\em ab initio} and experimental methods were used to investigate the $x$Bi(Zn,Ti)O$_3$-(1-$x$)PbTiO$_3$ (BZT-PT) solid solution. We find that hybridization between Zn 4$p$ and O 2$p$ orbitals allows the formation of short,…
CaxBa1-xNb2O6 (CBN) ferroelectric is isostructural with SrxBa1-xNb2O6 (SBN) that is a prototypical ferroelectric of tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure, but shows a much higher Curie temperature Tc than SBN, providing a wider…
