The Effect of V2O5 Addition on Ferroelectric Properties of Sr0.3Ba0.7Nb2O6 Ceramics

Abstract
Sr0.3Ba0.7Nb2O6(SBN30) compacts with 1mol% V2O5 addition were fabricated at relatively lower temperatures by liquid phase sintering. A considerable elongation and coarsening of grains were observed after prolonged sintering at 1200°C. The ferroelectric properties were improved by the addition of V2O5: sharpening of the dielectric peak and shift in Curie temperature from 175 to 225°C. The modified ferroelectric properties might be attributed to decrease in the internal stress and compositional fluctuation with coarsening of grains. The pyroelectric coefficient of V2O5-added compacts (1200°C, 14h) at room temperature was 8.0×10-5C/m2·K.
