Abstract

Multiferroic BiFeO 3 and Bi 0.92Dy 0.08FeO 3 ceramics were prepared to study their crystal structures and piezoelectric properties. BiFeO 3 exhibits rhombohedral phase below 810 °C. Although Bi 0.92Dy 0.08FeO 3 ceramic also shows rhombohedral phase at room temperature, it allows the coexistence of rhombohedral phase and orthorhombic phase at 460-650°C. Both samples have maximum polarizations of >21 μC/cm 2 and piezoelectric d 33 values of ∼37 pC/N at room temperature. Their polarized slices show the dielectric anomalies and impedance anomalies because of vibrating resonances below 500°C, and the thickness vibration electromechanical coupling factor is ∼0.6 and ∼0.4 for BiFeO 3 and Bi 0.92Dy 0.08FeO 3, respectively. The vibrating resonances confirm piezoelectric responses. Furthermore, samples impedance and resistance decrease fast with temperature increasing, which screens piezoelectric response above 550°C. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
