Abstract

The ferroelectric and dielectric properties of cerium (Ce) substituted La₂Ti₂O₇ (LTO) have been investigated. Single phase, dense La_2-xCe_xTi₂O₇ (x=0.15, 0.25, 0.35) ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering. The solubility limit of Ce in La_2-xCe_xTi₂O₇ was found to be between 0.35 and 0.5. The a-, b- and c-axes of the unit cell decrease with increasing Ce substitution. The Curie point (Tc) of La_2-xCe_xTi₂O₇ (x=0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35) decreases and dielectric constant and loss increase with increasing Ce substitution. Cerium can increase the d₃₃ of La₂Ti₂O₇. The highest d₃₃ was 3.9±0.1pC/N for La_1.85Ce_0.15Ti₂O₇ textured ceramic.
