| Abstract |
Fe3+/Nb5+ co-doped TiO2 (FeNb-TO) nanocrystalline powders were prepared by a combustion process. A
pure rutile–TiO2 phase of powders and sintered ceramics with a dense microstructure was achieved. Both
co-dopants were homogeneously dispersed in the ceramic microstructure. The presence of oxygen
vacancies was confirmed by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. The lowfrequency dielectric permittivity enhanced as co-doping concentration increased. The thermally
activated giant-dielectric relaxation of FeNb-TO ceramics was observed. Removing the outer-surface
layer had a slight effect on the dielectric properties of FeNb-TO ceramics. Density functional theory
(DFT) calculation showed that, in the energy preferable configuration, the 2Fe atoms are located near
the oxygen vacancy, forming a triangle-shaped FeVoTi defect complex. This defect cluster was far away
from the diamond-shaped 2Nb2Ti defect complex. Thus, the electron-pinned defect-dipoles (EPDD)
cannot be formed. The giant-dielectric relaxation process of the FeNb-TO ceramics might be attributed
to the interfacial polarization associated with electron hopping between Ti3+/Ti4+ ions inside the grains,
rather than due to the surface barrier layer capacitor (SBLC) or EPDD effect. |
