Abstract

A study was conducted on the effects of compositional modifications on the temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (TCF) in the disc planar vibration mode for the bismuth layer-structured compound SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN)-based ceramics. The substitution of the strontium site by divalent and trivalent ions improved the TCF, accompanying the relaxation of elastic anomaly. The tolerance factor, t, was calculated for a pseudo cubic block to study the contribution of the structural factor to Curie temperature, T-C, and the temperature of elastic anomaly, T-ea, for each sample. T-ea showed no apparent tendency with t, whereas T-C increased as t decreased.

Curie temperature

In physics and materials science, the Curie temperature (TC), or Curie point, is the temperature above which certain materials lose their permanent magnetic properties, which can (in most cases) be replaced by induced magnetism. The Curie temperature is named after Pierre Curie, who showed that magnetism was lost at a critical temperature. The force of magnetism is determined by the magnetic moment, a dipole moment within an atom which originates from the angular momentum and spin of electrons.

Curie's law

For many paramagnetic materials, the magnetization of the material is directly proportional to an applied magnetic field, for sufficiently high temperatures and small fields. However, if the material is heated, this proportionality is reduced. For a fixed value of the field, the magnetic susceptibility is inversely proportional to temperature, that is where is the (volume) magnetic susceptibility, is the magnitude of the resulting magnetization (A/m), is the magnitude of the applied magnetic field (A/m), is absolute temperature (K), is a material-specific Curie constant (K).

Strontium titanate

Strontium titanate is an oxide of strontium and titanium with the chemical formula SrTiO3. At room temperature, it is a centrosymmetric paraelectric material with a perovskite structure. At low temperatures it approaches a ferroelectric phase transition with a very large dielectric constant ~104 but remains paraelectric down to the lowest temperatures measured as a result of quantum fluctuations, making it a quantum paraelectric.
