Abstract

Materials with batch formula Pb(1-x-3y/2)RyBa xNb2O6, where R = Y, (1 - x) = 0.73, 0.63, 0.53 and y = 0.00, 0.02 have been prepared by the double sintering method. Substitution of yttrium (Y) restored tetragonal symmetry of PBN but reduced lattice parameters, cell volume and enhanced the density. Transition temperature of PBN has decreased due to the substitution of Y3+. Enhanced room temperature spontaneous polarization (Ps) = 149.97 μC/sq. cm has been observed in PBN53, which is above MPB, whereas enhanced value of P s = 112.74 μC/sq. cm is found in Y: PBN63 at MPB region. The room temperature Pyroelectric coefficient (PRT = 1.07) has been observed in the composition where maximum volume of Ps is obtained. Similarly, enhanced values of piezoelectric coefficients Kp = 0.244, K t = 0.353, K31 = 0.131, d31 = 60, d 33 = 159 and g31 = 3.65 have also been found in the same material PBN53. Substitution of Yttrium enhanced the stiffness constant 13.59 in PBN 73 to 14.27 of Y: PBN73.
