Abstract:

(Ba0.6Sr0.3Ca0.1)1-xYxTi0.999Mn0.001O3(0≤x≤0.007) ceramics were prepared by the solid-state reaction technique. The effects of Y doping on the microstructure, dielectric properties and pyroelectric properties were investigated. The average grain size decreases with the increase of Y concentration. The dielectric and pyroelectric properties measurement results show that the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, Tc and pyroelectric coefficient all initially increase and then decrease with Y concentration. And the pyroelectric figure of merit Fd can be improved by the Y doping. The specimen doped with 0.7mol%Y shows a higher maximum Fd value of 8.22×10-5 Pa-1/2 under 700 V/mm near 30℃ with the smallest average grain size of 3.1 μm, indicating its promising application in infrared thermal imaging arrays devices.
