Abstract

The present research study analyzes the consequences of the incorporation of rare earth ions on the pyroelectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric, and luminescence properties of Ba0.85Ca0.12RE0.03Ti0.90Zr0.04Nb0.042O3 (BCRETZN) (where RE = Ce or Pr) ceramic composites synthesized by means of a solid-state process. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data and Raman spectra analysis confirmed the presence of tetragonal symmetry (P4mm) at room temperature. Two different exciting laser wavelengths have been employed to illuminate the RE3+ emission phenomenon. The involvement of the luminescence behavior in the “abnormal” Raman spectra was registered at 785 nm. The measurements as a function of the temperature of pyroelectric properties, ferroelectric cycles, strain-field cycles, and dielectric properties confirmed the occurrence the tetragonal-to-cubic (T–C) and orthorhombic-to-tetragonal (O–T) phase transition sequence. Compared to pure BaTiO3, the incorporation of RE-ions lowers the phase transition temperatures. The BCPrTZN compound leads to a larger decrease in O–T and T–C phase transition temperatures than the BCCeTZN compound. The presence of Ce3+ and Pr3+ ions inside these perovskite ceramics is likely to have significant technological applications in future multifunctional devices.
