In this study, we successfully synthesized a nano-sized lanthanum-modified lead-titanate (PLT) powder with a perovskite structure using a high-energy mechanochemical process (MCP). In addition, the sintering behavior of synthesized PLT nanopowder was investigated and the sintering temperature that can make the full dense PLT specimen decreased to below $1050^{\circ}C$ by using $Bi_2O_3$ powder as sintering agent. The pure PLT phase of perovskite structure was formed after MCP was conducted for 4 h and the average size of the particles was approximately 20 nm. After sintered at 1050 and $1150^{\circ}C$, the relative density of PLT was about 93.84 and 95.78%, respectively. The density of PLT increased with adding $Bi_2O_3$ and the specimen with the relative densitiy over 96% were fabricated below $1050^{\circ}C$ when 2 wt% of $Bi_2O_3$ was added.

B-site substitution with isovalent and donor impurities was compared in terms of the piezoelectric properties of Bi-based ABO3 perovskite ceramics. X-ray diffraction study revealed that both impurities bring about degradation in their ferroelectric properties as well as piezoelectric characteristics. However, there existed a difference between the isovalent and heterovalent impurities that influence a phase transformation of ferroelectric anisotropic-to-electrostrictive pseudocubic symmetry. Based upon analyses including the crystal, microstructure, dielectric, ferroelectric properties, we believed that A-site vacancies in the ABO3 ceramic significantly contribute to a ferroelectric-nonpolar phase transition, which give rise to lead to a giant strains. The present paper will discuss the origin of giant strains in Bi-based perovskite ceramics.

Thin films of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}\;nBaTiO_3(n=1&2)$ were prepared using sols erived Ba-Bi-Ti complex alkoxides. The sols were spin-cast onto $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrates and followed by pyrolysis for 1 hr at $620^{\circ}C,\;700^{\circ}C\;and\;750^{\circ}C$ In the thin films a pyrochlore phase seemed to be formed at a lower temperature and then tran-formed to the layered perovskite phase as the heating temperature increased. In the thin films pyrolyzed at formed to the layered perovskte phase as the heating temperature increased. In the films pyrolyzed at $750^{\circ}C$ the amount of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}BaTiO_3$ reached to 94% while $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}BaTiO_3$ was 77% in composition. This result shows that the formation of the layered pervoskite phase becomes difficult as the amount of complexing $BaTiO_3$ increases. The microstructures and the electrical properties of the thin films were gen-erally improved with the incease of the heating temperature. However the presence of the pyrochlore phase could not be removed effectively. Our study showed that the electrical properties of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}BaTiO_3$ were pronouncedly improved with complexing with BaTiO3 when compared to those of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ while the presence of the pyrochlore phase was detrimental to the those of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}2BaTiO_3$.

An ambiguity on the correct room temperature structure of $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$ was resolved using a combined Rietveld refinement of neutron and X-ray diffraction. The structure of this compound has been reported to have a space group of F2mm (adopting 2-fold rotation symmetry along the c-axis) or A21am. However, our diffraction, study reveals that some reflections would violate F-centering and confirm that the belong to $A2_1$am. Out refinement with the space group of $A2_1$am converged at $R_p=6.85%, R_wp=9.23%$ and $\chi^2$=1.66 for an isotropic temperature model with 85 variables. The lattice constants are a=5.4677(1) $\AA$, b=5.4396(1) $\AA$, and c=41.2475(8)$\AA$. In structure, Ti/Fe atoms at the oxygen octahedral sites of the perovskite unit are completely disordered, resulting in that these atoms are transparent in neutron diffraction. The octahedra of the perovskite unit are relatively displaced along the a-axis against the Bi atoms, which contribute as a major component to the spontaneous polarization of $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$.

We present ferroelectricity of Bi-doped ZnO film probed by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), which is one of the Scanning Probe Microscopy techniques. Perovskite ferroelectrics are limited to integration of devices into semiconductor microcircuitry due to hard adjusting their lattice structure to the semiconductor materials. Transition metal doped ZnO film is one of the candidate materials for replacing the perovskite ferroelectrics. In this study, ferroelectric characteristics of the Bi-doped ZnO grown by pulsed laser deposition were probed by PFM. The polarization switching and patterning of the ZnO films were performed by applying DC bias voltage between the AFM tips and the films with varying voltages and polarity. The PFM contrast before and after patterning showed clearly polarization switching for a specific concentration of Bi atoms. In addition, the patterned regions with nanoscale show clearly the local piezoresponse hysteresis loop. The spontaneous polarization of the ZnO film is estimated from the local piezoresponse based on the comparison with LiNbO3 single crystals.

본 연구팀에서는 층상형 페로브스카이트 구조를 갖는 Ruddlesden-Popper 구조의 $K_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$의 박리화를 통해 Aurivillius 구조의 $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$(x~2) 페로브스카이트 산화물을 성공적으로 합성하였다. 박리화된 란타늄 티타네이트 나노시트는 BiOCl 나노결정구조와 반응시켜 $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$(x~2) 결정을 얻어내었다. 박리화된 나노시트 현탁액은 $K_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$으로부터 수소화된 $H_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$의 층간에 에틸아민을 삽입시킴으로써 얻어내었다. 투과전자현미경(TEM) 분석을 통해, 란타늄 티타네이트가 에틸아민에 의해 박리화된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. X-선 회절분석(XRD)을 통해, 박리화된 란타늄 티타네이트와 BiOCl의 재적층과정을 거쳐 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 열처리 조건에서 $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$(x~2)로 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

$Sr_{l}$ $\pm$x/$Bi_{2}$ $\pm$y/$Ta_2$ $O_{9}$ and $Sr_{l}$ $\pm$$Bi_{x}$ $2\pm$y$Nb_2$$O_{9}$ ceramics were prepared by a solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that single-phase of Bi-layered perovskite was obtained. According to Sr/Bi content ratio, Curie temperature( $T_{c}$), electromechanical factor($K_{p}$ ) and mechanical quality factor($Q_{m}$ ) were measured. The Curie temperature of SBN(SBT) rose from $414^{\circ}C$(314$^{\circ}C$) to $494^{\circ}C$(426$^{\circ}C$) when Sr/Bi content ratio was increased. In the case of Sr/Bi content ratio = 0.55/2.3, the maximum value of the mechanical quality factor $Q_{m}$ of SBT and SBN were obtained 3320 and 1010, respectively.

Lead-free perovskite ceramics, which have excellent energy storage capabilities, are attracting attention owing to their high power density and rapid charge-discharge speed. Given that the energy-storage properties of perovskite ceramic capacitors are significantly improved by doping with various elements, modifying their chemical compositions is a fundamental strategy. This study investigated the effect of Zn doping on the microstructure and energy storage performance of potassium sodium niobate (KNN)-based ceramics. Two types of powders and their corresponding ceramics with compositions of (1-x)(K,Na)NbO₃-xBi(Ni_2/3Ta_1/3)O₃ (KNN-BNT) and (1-x)(K,Na)NbO₃-xBi(Ni_1/3Zn_1/3Ta_1/3)O₃ (KNN-BNZT) were prepared via solid-state reactions. The results indicate that Zn doping retards grain growth, resulting in smaller grain sizes in Zn-doped KNN-BNZT than in KNN-BNT ceramics. Moreover, the Zn-doped KNN-BNZT ceramics exhibited superior energy storage density and efficiency across all x values. Notably, 0.9KNN-0.1BNZT ceramics demonstrate an energy storage density and efficiency of 0.24 J/cm³ and 96%, respectively. These ceramics also exhibited excellent temperature and frequency stability. This study provides valuable insights into the design of KNN-based ceramic capacitors with enhanced energy storage capabilities through doping strategies.
