Abstract

Ferroelectric ceramics (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Ti_0.9Zr_0.1−xSn_x)O₃ (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) were elaborated by sol–gel method. Structural investigation revealed co-existence of tetragonal (P4mm) and orthorhombic (Pmm2) symmetries at room temperature for the undoped ceramic, while only a tetragonal structure (P4mm) was observed for the doped ceramics. Dielectric measurements indicate a dielectric relaxation process at high temperatures which is essentially related to the hopping of oxygen vacancies \({\text{V}}_{\ddot{O}}\). Furthermore, a down shifting of the Curie temperature (T_C) with increasing Sn⁴⁺ doping rate has been revealed. The temperature profiles of the Raman spectra unveiled the existence of polar nanoregions above the Curie temperature in all ceramics. The ferroelectric properties were found to be related to the microstructure. Electrocaloric effect was investigated in this system that revealed an electrocaloric responsivity of 0.225 × 10⁻⁶ K m/V for the composition with x = 0.04 Sn doping, where other remarkable physical properties were also observed.
