We report herein the variations in the Raman and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra
of barium titanate (BT) induced by individual doping of yttrium at the Ba sites and of tin at the …

Structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, energy storage properties, and electrocaloric effect were
studied in lead-free ceramic Ba0. 95Ca0. 05Ti0. 89Sn0. 11O3 (BCTSn) elaborated by the …

Recently electrostrictive effect in ferroelectrics has attracted much attention, since the electric
field-induced strain based on such an effect possesses an ultra-low hysteresis, which is of …

Ferroelectric materials are used in a number of applications such as sensors, transducers
and health monitoring systems. The multi-physical coupling ability possessed by these …

In the present work, it is shown how the controlled porosity can be exploited to obtain a
compromise between a reduced permittivity down to a few hundreds and maintaining a high …

Despite the pivotal role of stannum doping in achieving ultrahigh piezoelectric performance
in barium titanate-based ceramics, the fundamental mechanisms underlying this …

BaSn x Ti 1-x O 3 (x= 0, 0.05) ceramics with orthorhombic/tetragonal phases at room
temperature were comparatively investigated to understand the role of phase composition …
