Abstract

Abstract: The effect of starting Mn precursor (0.01≤ x ≤ 0.04) on the structural and ferroelectric properties of Ba0.96 Ca0.04 Ti(1− x ) Mn x O3 samples prepared using conventional solid state reaction route have been investigated. The XRD analysis shows that the samples possess tetragonal structure and are phase pure up to x = 0.02 independent of starting Mn precursor. The samples x = 0.03 and x = 0.04 shows the presence of an additional hexagonal phase. The concentration of additional phase increases with increasing x . The P-E loops were recorded at room temperature showing the ferroelectric behaviour of the samples.
