AN X-RAY STUDY OF THE LEAD TITANATE-BISMUTH CHROMATE SYSTEM BY TSEN-TSOU SHIH -I tj tf () A 129:-=;19 THESIS submitted to the faculty of THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT ROLLA in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY Rolla, Missouri . 1967 Approved by ~~~-'~~=~~~--- (advisor) ii ABSTRACT The lead titanate-bismuth chromate system was studied employing x-ray diffraction techniques at both room and high temperatures. Samples were prepared by sintering stoichiometric mixtures of the corresponding oxides followed by air quenching, Bismuth chromate was prepared by resintering and air quenching for four times. The results of the analyses show the structure of BiCr0 be tetragonal with 8 molecules per unit cell, 3 Solid to solutions exist over the range 100 to 35 mole percent PbTi0 3 of the binary system, although small amounts of other phases are present in some regions. X-ray data at room temperature indicate the tetragonal perovskite structure exists over the range of 100 to 65 mole percent PbTi0 , 3 PbTi0 From 60 to 35 mole percent the structure is cubic. 3 Dielectric measurements show that the specimen containing 95 mole percent PbTi0 3 is ferroelectric with a Curie point of 475°C, slightly lower than that of pure PbTi0 . 3 From 90 to 50 mole percent PbTi0 3 the samples are too conductive for meaningful dielectric ' measurements. High temperature x-ray results show that the Curie point drops almost linearly from 100 to 65 mole percent PbTi0 , 3 The phenomenon is exhibited by ferroelectric binary systems containing PbTi0 PbTi0 -BiFe0 system. 3 3 3 with the exception of the iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to thank Dr. William J.

The Curie point of pseudo-binary solid solutions of perovskites containing PbTi0 3 usually decreases upon substitution of other perovskite components as discussed in Sec. II-C. system. The sole exception is the PbTi0 -BiFe0 3 3 Here the tetragonal distortion from the ideal peroyskite structure varies from 1.063 for pure PbTi0 1.17 for 32 weight percent PbTi0 3 3 to causing the Curie point to increase as the concentration of BiFe0 3 is increased. The purpose of this investigation was to prepare and study solid solutions of PbTi0 3 containing Bicr0 3 with regard to crystallographic symmetry and electrical properties. It was of particular interest to see if ferro- electric properties were enhanced upon substitution of Bicro ,. as found in the PbTi0 --BiFe0 system, or diminished, 3 3 3 . as observed in other pseudo-binary systems containing 2 II. A. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Perovskite Ferroelectrics Crystals lacking a center of symmetry may be piezo- electric.

This behavior is exhibited by 20 of the 21 non-centrosymmetric crystal classes. shows pyroelectricity.(l) A subgroup of piezoelectrics The spontaneous polarization of a pyroelectric crystal is altered with change in temperature. Both piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity are inherent properties of a crystal wnich require a crystal structure to contain a polar axis along which atomic displacement can take place asymmetrically. Ferroelectrics are a class of pyroelectrics with the additional property that spontaneous polarization can be reversed by applying a sufficiently intense electric field. The presence of domains* in the ferroelectric crystal produces a hysteresis in the polarization when an alternating field is applied. A typical hysteresis loop for a ferroelectric crystal is shown in Figure i. The hysteresis disappears at a certain temperature, called the Curie point. The structure undergoes a transition at this temperature from the polar to non-polar state; the high temperature form of the crystal is known as para- * A part of a twinned crystal which is itself a true single crystal. 3 E Figure 1. crystal.

The structure of the ideal perovskite can be visualized from Figures 2 and 3 for cubic BaTi0 , 3 The larger cation Ba (orA ion) is located in the center of the cubotetrahedron and has a coordination number 12. The smaller cation Ti Lor B ion) is 6 coordinated and is located in the center of the octahedral framework of oxygens. In general, the structure is slightly distorted from the ideal cubic type. Table I lists several perovskite-type compounds. Not all compounds with the formula AB0 , however, have a perovskite-type structure. 3 An important factor that determine~ the structure type is the geometrical packing of the ions in the lattice.

RA = ionic radius of larger cation A. ~ = ionic radius of smaller cation B. R o = ionic radius of oxygen. For an ideal perovskite, t is exactly equal to unity. For perovskites of the type A2 +B 4 +o 3 and A3 +B 3 +0 , the 3 tolerance factor has been assigned a value between 0.99 and 0.77(4) (5) although exceptions have been reported.

Recently, Filip'ev(6) and Fedulov(7) reported that bismuth ferrate, BiFeo 3 , has a rhombohedral distorted perovskite structure. This provides further evidence of the possible existence of perovskitic Bicr0 3 , since the ionic radius of cr 3 + o 3+ 0 (0.63 A) is essentially equal to that of Fe (0.64 A). B. Lead Titanate, PbTi0 3 Lead titanate has been studied extensively by many investigators. Naray-Szabo(8) first reported the structure to be a tetragonal perovskite with a = 3.89 o A, and ~ = o 4.13 A, one molecule per unit cell. Precise lattice para- meters at room temperature were determined in 1951 by Shirane et al(9) with a = 3.894 A, and c = 4.140 A. The space group is P4mm. The axial ratio cia at room temperature is 1.063, markedly larger than any other perovskite with the same structure. Above room temperature c decreases and a increases until just below the transition point, 490°C, cia is 1.02. Figures 8-12 show the temperature dependence of the lattice parameters, the axial ratio, the'cell volume, specific heat, and dielectric constant respectively. .

The atomic positions of the room temperature phase of lead titanate were determined in 1956 by Shirane et al(13) using both x-ray and neutron diffraction. The results are given in Figures 13-15 and Tables II-III. Taking Pb at the origin, both 01 (located above and below Ti along the tetragonal axis) and 0Il (the other oxygen atoms) are shifted in the same direction by the same o 0 amount, 0.47 A. Ti is shifted by 0.17 A in the same direction as the three oxygens. remains undistorted. The oxygen octahedron Figure 13 shows the structure of tetragonal PbTi0 with oxygen defining the lattice. The 3 large shifts of Ti and Pb ions cause the change in bond length. The bond lengths in the cubic structure at 490°C and those of the tetragonal structure at room temperature are given in Table-.II. Passing from the cubic structure above the Curie temperature to the tetragonal structure, the oxygen octahedron suffers only a uniform elongation due to the tetragonal distortion. The Ti-O I bond under- goes a drastic change as can be seen from Figure 14. The o Ti-O (+) bond length is 1.78 A, much shorter than the sum I o of the Goldschmidt radii which is 1.96A. The Pb-OII o 0 length is 2.53 A, and the Goldschmidt radius is 2.78 A.

This covalent system of Pb-O bonds creates conditions which favor the development of unsymmetrical Ti-O bonds, or the off-centering of Ti in the oxygen octahedron, to produce a polar axis. C. Solid Solutions of PbTi0 3 Lead titanate has the highest Curie point among the perovskite-type ferroelectrics. Almost any substitution of Pb or Ti with suitable atoms which form a perovskitetype lattice causes a lowering of the Curie point. The systems PbTi0 3 -caTio3 ,(lS) (~6) PbTi0 3 -CaZr0 3f (17) and PbTi0 3 -CaSno 3 (17) were studied in recent years. The crystallographic .results are given in Figures 16-18. The phase diagrams of the systems of the lead titanate side were constructed from x-ray phase analysis and the dielectric measurements as shown in Figure 19. It can be seen that the Curie point falls with the increase of the con--: centration of the second component in all three systems. Figure 20 shows the dependence of the Curie point upon composition when Pb is replaced by Bar Sr, or Ca. In three cases the Curie point decreases almost linearly with increasing content of the substituted atoms. The axial ratio cia of the tetragonal solution at room temperature decreases accordingly.

EXPERIMENTAL Materials The materials used in the preparation of the various samples were PbO, Ti0 2 , Bi 0 , and cr 0 , The purity and 2 3 2 3 manufacturer of each of these oxides are listed in Appendix A. B. Apparatus The uses of the various- apparatus will be described here, and a list of apparatus is given in Appendix B. 1. Analytical balance . . A single pan electric balance was used in weighing the materials to make the samples. The sensitivity of the balance was 1/10,000 gram. 2. Ball mill. A ball mill was used for mixing the samples for sintering. The ball mill was constructed from a 250 ml plastic bottle that contained about 25 ceramic balls of 0.4 inch in diameter and could be rotated at an inclined angle by a variable speed motor. 3. pill die. A stainless steel die of 3/8 inch diameter was used to press the mixed oxides to form discs for sintering. 4. crucible. A morganite crucible with a lid, lined with platinum foil, was used to sinter the samples. The crucible was approximately O.B inch in diameter and 0.875 inches high. 5.

The furnaces were each calibrated twice to ensure correct temperature. 6. Mortar and pestle.

C. preparation of Samples The compositions were arbitrarily selected at 5 or 10 mole percent intervals between 100 percent lead titanate and 100 percent bismuth chromate. stoichiometric amounts of materials were weighed to an accuracy of 1/10,000 grams. 27 Figure 24.

Distilled water After rotating the sample for 4-5 hours, the slurry was filtered with distilled water and then dried in a drying oven. Samples were then ground, by hand, to a fine powder (approximately 300 mesh) and pressed into discs 3/8 inch in diameter and 1/8 to 3/8 inches in height~ The pressure applied was 50,000 psi in most cases. D. Sintering Proc~dure The discs were placed in a platinum-lined morganite crucible with a stainless steel spatula. crucible was put into a preheated furnace. The covered After a temperature recovery period of about 10 minutes, the sample was usually sintered for 2 hours under one atmosphere pressure. After the reaction period, the crucible was removed from the furnace and air 9uenched. The discs shrank only slightly because of the high pressure applied before sintering. As the sintering temperatures used in this system were generally above 900°C, incomplete reactions on the surface of the discs were evident due to the volatility of Pba and Bi 0 " 2 3 The outer parts of the discs were removed using a sheet of abrasive paper. was The sample ground by hand with a mortar and pestle to a fine pO\vder of approximately 300 mesh. The sample was then used for x-ray diffraction studies. For compositions of 40 mole percent PbTi0 3 to Bi~r03 29 resintering techniques were employed in an attempt to obtain complete reaction. This was accomplished by re- peating the procedures stated in the last paragraph, that is; regrind, repress, and resinter. For 100 percent Bicr0 3 the sample was preheated at a temperature of 400°C for 1-2 hours. The temperature was then increased and sintering continued for about the same period of time. Sintering under an oxygen atmosphere was also carried out. Thesintering temperatures and the other conditions during sample preparation are listed in Appendix D. E. X-ray Diffraction Analysis at Room Temperature X-ray diffraction patterns were made of each sintered sample. The samples were mounted on the center of a 3/2" square glass plate. A minute quantity of vaseline was spread on the glass for adhension of the powdered sample. The surface of the sample '1as made flat by pressing it against another glass plate. A scanning speed of lO/min and a chart paper speed of 1 ern/min were generally used. A slower speed of 0.25°/min and a chart paper speed of 2.5 em/min were used to increase the resolution of certain reflections. An entrance slit of 1 rom and an exit slit width of 0.1 rom were used. The x-ray unit was aligned frequently and provided very good resolution for Ka reflections. 1 and Ka , especially for the high angle 2 30 The lattice parameters were determined from the x-ray patterns. The "d" values for all possible values of "hkl" were calculated using the digital IBM-360-40 computor located on the V.M.R. campus. The volume of the unit cells was determined from the following equations. Tetragonal Cubic F. High Temperature Techniques The Curie point of each specimen was determined using a high temperature x-ray diffractometer. A tantalum, instead of platinum, sample holder was used because tantalum has a very simple structure and d-spacings which are quite different from those of the perovskites. The reflections contributed by the tantalum stage did not superimpose upon those of the perovskites. Since tantalum reacts readily with oxygen and nitrogen at moderate temperatures, it was necessary to use a vacuum of the order of 10 -4 torr. This was accomplished by using a forepump and a diffusion pump. The procedure for determining the phase transformation, ferroelectric + paraelectric, was as follows: A fine powder sample, mixed with drops of ether to form a slurry, was mounted on the surface of the Ta heating element with a stainless steel : spatula. The amount of the sample was just enough to fO:r1l1 a thin layer. The surface of the sample was made as even as possible. 'rhe 31 heating element was then fixed in place. Alignment was made according to the procedures listed in the Manual.*(24) The vacuum pump system was connected to the high temperature attachment and the system evacuated to the desired pressure. To obtain the best resolution, a scanning rate of O.25°/min and a chart paper speed of 2.5cm/min were chosen. An entrance slit of I.nun and an exit slit of O. 2mm were used to obtain reasonably high intensities. The temperature was measured with a chromel-alumel thermocouple, attached to the back of the Ta element, and a portable millivolt potentiometer. When a vacuum of 10 -4 torr was reached, the x-ray diffraction pattern of a particular pair of was recorded. refle~tions In this series of samples studied, the pair of reflections (200) and (002) was selected because these peaks possess the maximum splitting among the sets of reflections with strong intensities in the room temperature x-ray pattern.t * For an unknown reason the correct reflection angles could not be obtained. Therefore a correction of the true angles. was made with true angles obtained from the room temperature stage as a standard. t The (100) and (001) reflections had stronger intensities but their separation was less. The same was true for (110) and (all). (211) and (112) had nearly the same peak separation as (200) and (002) but the intensities were too low for good resolution. 32 starting at room temperature, x-ray patterns for various temperatures were obtained. The temperature interval varied from lOO°C at temperatures far below the Curie point to within lODe in the vicinity of the Curie point. X-ray patterns of temperatures above the Curie point up to 700°C were obtained. The equilibrjum tem- perature of each setting could be attained within 10 minutes. A slight fluctuation of the temperature (±2°C) during the measurements was observed occasionally. For a few samples, x-ray patterns of 26 range 15-60 degrees at room temperature were made. The relative inten- sities and the sharpness differed from those patterns obtained with a room temperature stage. The low angle reflection intensities were lower and the high angle reflection intensities were higher; all the peaks were broader. These were the consequences of the ~neven surface of the sample on the Ta stage and the smaller amount of sample mounted on the sample holder. A complete x-ray pattern, from 15-60 degrees of 26, was made of the 90 percent PbTi0 3 Curie point. composition at a temperature just above the Only lines belonging to a simple cubic pattern of the high temperature phase of the sample were evident as well as several peaks of the Ta stage. The tetragonal and cubic lattice parameters, ' S and ~, were calculated for each temperature from x-ray data obtained at the various temperature5~ A typical plot of the lattice parameters versus temperature is shown in Figure 33 26. The Curie point was determined from the intersection of the lattice parameters of tetragonal and cubic regions.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Sintering The determination .of the time and the temperature for sintering the mixed oxides was a trial and error process. Bismuth chromate was made by repetitive sintering at 800, 850, 900, and 950°C for a period of 2 hours in each sintering. Resintering techniques were required because the higher temperatures necessary to provide sufficient reaction caused some Bi 0 to melt in the mixture. 2 3 A temperature of 1000 to 1050°C and a period of 2 hours were used for samples on the PbTi0 3 side of the system. Higher sintering temperatures were required to ·obtain complete solid state reactions as the concentration of BiCr0 increased. was 3 For example, sintering at 950°C for 95 mole percent PbTi0 3 sample gave complete reaction, whereas sih- . tering at the same temperature for 50 mole percent PbTiO j gave incomplete reaction. For samples : frotn 45 mole percent PbTi0 to 100 percent BiCr0 temperatures beb'leen 3 3 800 and l200 0 c were employed. Resintering and multplestage sintering were also carried out in an att~mpt to go to higher temperature without melting the samples. In several cases, the sample fused. Each sample was pressed into a disc before sintering, in part to shorten the diffusion path length and to prevent the vaporization of low melting point oxides. Weight 36 losses during sintering were found to be negligible extil.e pt for those samples sintered at temperatures higher than llOOOC in which case the discs were found to be nonhomogeneous after sintering. Therefore, a closed system would be required for high temperature sintering. The color of PbTi0 3 is brown • . As the BiCr0 3 content is increased in samples of the PbTi0 -BiCr0 system, the 3 3 color of the powders changes gradually to dark green. The hardness of the sintered discs generally increases as the BiCr0 B. composition is increased. 3 Crystallographic Results at Room Temperature Pure PbTi0 3 was prepared by sintering equimolar mixtures of PbO and Ti02 at IOOOoe. X-ray results were in good accordance with Shirane'.s .• lattice constants and indexing for pure PbTi0 3 as given in Appendix E. The method for preparing bismuth chromate was described in the previous section. X-ray diffraction patte~ns showed primarily a single phase with a perovskite tetragonal structure. The lattice parameters are a = ° c 7.855 A, = o 7,902 A. The pattern is similar to that of Naray-Szabo's except for a few extraneous peaks. Peaks at d = 3.56, o 2.64, 2.46, and 1.67 A, corresponding to the positions of er 0 are evident, but strangely there is no evidence of 2 3 Bi 0 in the x-ray spectra. 2 3 Weight losses were too small to account for the absence of Bi 0 as resulting from 2 3 evaporative loss. Attempts to index x-ray data by using .37 Sugawara's triclinic lattice constants were unsuccessful. Further studies of Bicr0 3 are necessary and it is probable that high pressure techniques will be required to prepare single p~ase material. In the PbTi0 -Bicr0 system, single phase solid 3 3 solutions were prepared over the range 100 to 50 mole percent PbTi0 . From 100 to about 60 mole percent PbTi0 3 3 the structure is tetragonal. The lattice parameter £ decreases sharply and a increases gradually with increasing concentration of BiCr0 3 (Figure 27). The cia ratio (Figure 28) decreases from 1.064 for pure PbTi0 for 65 mole percent PbTi0 . 3 to 1.008 The volume of the unit cell (Figure 28) decreases as the BiCr0 content is increased. 3 Between 60 to 50 mole percent PbTi0 apparently cubic. 3 3 the structure is Below 45 mole percent PbTi0 , x-ray 3 results show multiple phases with a predominance of cubic phase up to 35 mole percent PbTi0 . 3 appear at this composition.

The application of high pressure during sinter- ing may be helpful. · c.

The room temperature resistivity varies from about 8 6 10 ohm-cm for 10 mole percent BiCr0 to 10 ohm-ern for 40 3 mole percent BiCro , as measured by Mr. James Canner of the 3 physics department. The Curie . point of only a 95 mole percent PbTiOi 'sample could be determined from dielectric measurements and it was found to be 475°C. It was therefore necessary to obtain the Curie points of the solid solutions from 95 to 65 mole percent PbTi0 3 by high temperature x-ray techniques. The results are given in Table IV and illustrated in Figure 29. The Curie point of the 95 mole percent PbTi0 3 sample determined by this method is 465°C, in resonable agreement with that obtained from the dielectric measurement. were measured twice. measurements was ± Several samples The average deviation between 10ce. possible errors that can occur in high temperature x-ray diffraction techniques are as follows: First, the thermocouple is attached to the back of the sample holder; therefore, the temperature registered might differ from that of the sample itself. Second, the surface of the sample is rough, causing some local variation in temperature from point to point. Third, the thick- ness of the sample mounted on the sample holder is difficult to reproduce from measurement to measurement, making it difficult to assure temperature reproducibility.

The crystal structure of 60 to 50 mole percent PbTi0 room temperature. is possible. is cubic at 3 A Curie point below room temperature Therefore low temperature x-ray studies are necessary in order to construct the complete phase diagram of the single phase solid solution region of the system. Inasmuch as PbTi0 is reported to have a .low 3 phase transition at -lOO°C, low temperature x-ray studies over the single phase solid solution region would be of interest. It is worth noting that as in other pseudo-binary systems, PbTi0 3 has an extraordinary capability for bringing Bicr0 into its perovskitic lattice. 3 . The similarity of Cr 3+ to Fe 3 +rn1ght lead one to expect the behavior of the PbTi0 3 -Bicr0 3 to approximate that of PbTi0 -BiFe0 , Such is not the case, and these 3 3 results clearly show that ionic size of the ferroactive ion is not a unique factor in determining the tendency to form perovskitic structures of similar properties. 44 V.
