Differences in nature of electrical conductions among Bi4Ti3O12-based ferroelectric polycrystalline ceramics

Abstract Bismuth titanate Bi4Ti3O12 (BiT), was one of the most promising lead-free high-temperature piezoelectric materials, due to high Curie temperature (675 °C) and large spontaneous polarization (50 µC/cm2); however, extensive studies had revealed that high leakage conductivity interferes with t...
