Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) and lanthanum (La) doped lead manganese antimoine zirconate titanate (PZMST) ceramic powders have been synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method. Preliminary X-ray structural analysis of the com pounds shows the formation of tetragonal structure. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) shows a uniform grain dis tribution and grain size of the order of ~ 2.28 μm. Detailed dielectric studies of the Pb 0 . 95 (La 1- z Bi z ) 0 . 05 [(Zr 0 . 6 Ti 0 . 4 ) 0 . 95 (Mn 1/3 Sb 2/3 ) 0 . 05 ]O 3 samples as a function of the temperature (from 25°C to 450°C) at frequency 1 kHz suggest that the compounds undergo a diffuse phase transition. The transition temperature shifts in crease with increasing the Bi ratio. Diffusivity ( γ ) study of phase transition of these compounds provided its value from 1.59 to 1.78 indicating the degree of the disordering in the system.
