Ferroelectric Properties and Electrocaloric Effect in Dy2O3 Substitution on Lead-Free (Na0.5 Bi0.5)0.94 Ba0.06TiO3 Ceramic by Turki, O.

“…Higher stability of the ferroelectric (FE) phase was obtained at room temperature for the compositions y = 0.01, 0.02 and 0.05, with optimum values for y = 0.02 as remanent polarization Pr = 32µC/cm2, as well as piezoelectric coefficients d33 = 137 pC/N, kp = 0.27 and kt = 0.16, whereas a higher content of Dy (y = 0.08) induced a remarkable decrease of the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. …”
