Abstract
Present communication describes the preparation and the influence of Pr2O3 and Nd2O3 on structure, ferroelectric, dielectric, pyroelectric and resistivity properties of (Ba 1-x Srx)2NaNb5O15[BSNN] compositions at and around × = 0.6, MPB region. Substitution of Pr 2O3/Nd2O3 decrease the cell volume and Curie temperature and enhance the room temperature dielectric constant. The room temperature pyroelectric coefficients are observed to be in the order of 10-9 C/cm2°C. Higher figure of merit FMRV, FMRN and FMRI values of the order 10-14 CM/J. 10-12 CM/J and l0-11 CM/J respectively are observed in both Pr/Nd: BSNN compositions. Resistivity studies revealed a PTCR behavior.
