Spectral and structural properties of ferroelectric compounds Experimental Analyses

Abstract

Abstract In this study two Ferroelectric compounds were prepared, The chemical formula of the two compounds were [BTO] and [BPTO], Both compounds were synthesized by ceramic method and calcined for 4 hours at 1000°C. Then, the compounds were subjected to X-ray diffraction Analysis for the determination of their structural properties.From the results, the compounds were found to exhibit a tetragonal Perovskite with homogenous particle size in-between the samples; furthermore, there was an observable increase in the Theoretical density. Similarly, Samples were subjected to atomic force Microscope (AFM) analysis for roughness, grain size, and root mean square.Upon Infrared analysis of the samples, the IR spectra showed an increase in the constant bond force (K) by a slight proportion of lead while the bond length (r) decreased by the same proportion.
