| Title: | The effect of Fe substitution on pyroelectric properties of 0.62Pb(Mg[sub ⅓]Nb[sub ⅔])O₃-0.38PbTiO₃ single crystals | Authors: | Wan, X Chew, K Chan, HLW Choy, CL Zhao, X Luo, H |
Issue Date: | 9-Mar-2005 | Source: | Journal of applied physics, 9 Mar. 2005, v. 97, 064105, p. 1-4 | Abstract: | Fe-doped 0.62Pb(Mg[sub ⅓]Nb[sub ⅔]O₃-0.38PbTiO₃ (PMN-0.38PT) single crystals with two different dopant concentrations, 0.2 and 1.0 mol %, were grown by a modified Bridgman technique. The effect of Fe substitution on dielectric and pyroelectric properties was examined. The dielectric constant of the 0.2 mol % Fe-doped PMN-0.38PT single crystal was controlled successfully, indicating the possibility of tuning the dielectric properties by doping with a small concentration of iron ions. The mechanism of doping effect was also discussed based on the principles of crystal chemistry. The pyroelectric response of the single crystals was measured using a dynamic method from 20 to 50 °C. Compared with the 1.0 mol % Fe-doped single crystal, the 0.2 mol % Fe-doped sample possesses the better pyroelectric properties. At room temperature, the pyroelectric coefficient and detectivity figure of merit (F[sub D) for the 0.2 mol % Fe-doped sample are 568 µC/m² K and 53 µPa[sup −1/2], respectively, and they increase slightly with temperature increasing. These excellent pyroelectric properties as well as being able to produce large-size and high-quality single crystals make this kind of single crystal a promising candidate for high-performance infrared detectors and other pyroelectric applications. | Keywords: | Lead compounds Ferroelectric materials Pyroelectricity Permittivity Dielectric losses Impurity distribution Crystal chemistry |
