Abstract

BaTi1−xYxO3−x/2 ceramics were prepared by using a solid state reaction process. All the samples have a tetragonal structure below the solution limit of 3 at.%. And the doping of Y3+ inhibits the grain growth of BaTiO3 ceramics. In addition, substitution of Y3+ at B-site in BaTiO3 leads to an increase of Curie temperature (Tc). Specifically, the sample with x = 0.015 has the raised Tc temperature (136 °C) and exhibits a larger electric field induced strain (0.27 %) at the electric field of 65 kV/cm and room temperature. Besides, oxygen loss is restrained due to the incorporation of Y3+ in BaTiO3. Conductivity of the sample with x = 0.005 is dominated by a p-type conduction in air and oxygen, while in nitrogen, oxygen loss leads to it changes to an n-type conduction. However, the sample with x = 0.02 behaves a mixed conduction in oxygen, air and nitrogen, in which the species responsible are primarily O2− ions and holes.
