Abstract

In this work, the concentration dependencies of unit cell parameters, microstructure, dielectric, impedance spectra, and magnetic properties of (1 – x)SmFeO3–xNaNbO3 were studied for the first time. It was found that at a concentration x = 0.7, the unit cell parameter a, the tilt angles θ and rotation angles φ of oxygen octahedra and the bond lengths Fe-O1 and Fe-O3 of samarium ferrite SmFeO3 (SFO) have a maximum, and Fe-O2 has a minimum value. The tilt angle θ, rotation angle φ of the octahedral, and the bond lengths of sodium niobate NaNbO3 (NNbO) change nonmonotonically. For x = 0.9, the unit cell parameters b and c, as well as all bond lengths in the NaO9 tetradecahedra, reach their minimum values. Anomalies corresponding to the spin-reorientation transition temperatures TSR1 and TSR2 were detected in the dielectric spectra of SFO at temperatures of 200 and 309 °C. The jump in the real part of the dielectric constant ε′(T), starting before – 100 °C, is attributed to the response of the dipole moments to the magnetic moment jump and spin switching (TSSW). Anomalies corresponding to transitions between different phases in this antiferroelectric were found in the temperature dependences of ε′(T) and dielectric loss tangent tgδ(T) of NNbO at temperatures of – 75, 23, 160, 278, 379, and 433 °C. From magnetic measurements, it was found that the composition with x = 0.8 has a minimum size of coherent scattering regions of D = 94 nm, representing the second critical size at which the coercive field Hc reaches its maximum value.
