Abstract
The dielectric characteristics of tungsten bronze structured ferroelectric Sr0.3Ba0.7Nb2O6 (SBN30) and Sr 0.7Ba0.3Nb2O6 (SBN70) ceramics are analyzed with respect to the content of Nb2O5. When excess Nb2O5 is added in SBN30 and SBN70, Ba3Nb 10O28 was produced as a second phase. Because of its low melting temperature, a liquid phase was formed during sintering, which accelerated densification. Whereas in Nb2O5 deficient samples, Ba5Nb4O15 and Sr2Nb 2O7 phases were produced in SBN30 and SBN70, respectively. When Ba-rieh second phase is produced, it shifts the Sr/Ba ratio of the matrix to Sr-rich, while Sr-rich second phase makes the matrix Ba-rich. The maximum dielectric constant and the Curie temperature variation were discussed based on the formation of the second phases.
