Microstructure and electrical properties of BaFe 0.5Nb 0.5O 3 Doped with GeO 2 (1-5 wt.%)

In this work, the effects of GeO2dopant on the electrical properties of BaFe0.5Nb0.5O3(BFN) perovskite ceramics were investigated. The BFN powder was prepared by a conventional mixed-oxide method using stoichiometric amounts of BaCO3, Fe2O3and Nb2O5. Afterward the GeO2contents, ranging from 1 to 5 w...
