Abstract
Pure and Mn-doped 0.49BiFeO3–0.20Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.31PbTiO3 (BF–PMN–PT) ceramics at morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) have been prepared by solid state reaction method. A systematic investigation of its microstructure and electrical properties was conducted. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) showed the formation of pure perovskite phase with homogeneous microstructure having average grain size of 2.48 µm at optimum temperature 920 °C. As compared to the pure BF–PMN–PT ceramic, enhanced dielectric constant value (~ 800) was observed for Mn-doped sample at room temperature. Polarization vs. electric field (P–E) hysteresis curves exhibits improved ferroelectric properties (Pr = 97.65 C/cm2 at coercive field Ec = − 17.08 kV/cm) after doping and showed a fatigue free nature over 104 switching cycles. The displacement voltage (D–V) curve showed a high value of the piezoelectric coefficient d33* = 786 pm/V after Mn doping. The magnetic hysteresis loop (M–H) curve showed a weak ferromagnetic nature with coercive field (Hc = 54.19 Oe) and remanent magnetization (Mr = 0.0087 emu/g) of the sample. Therefore, Mn-doped BF–PMN–PT ceramic can be a promising candidate for applications in the electronic ceramic industries.
