Title: New high permittivity tetragonal tungsten bronze dielectrics Ba{sub 2}LaMNb{sub 4}O{sub 15}: M=Mn, Fe

Abstract

The new phases Ba{sub 2}LaMNb{sub 4}O{sub 15}: M=Mn, Fe were prepared by solid state reaction at 1100 deg. C. They have the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure, space group P4/mbm, at room temperature. The two octahedral sites show partial order of M and Nb with preferential occupancy of the smaller B(1) sites by M. Both phases have high permittivities 90+-15 over the range 10-320 K. Ba{sub 2}LaFeNb{sub 4}O{sub 15} is highly insulating with bulk conductivity <<10{sup -8} ohm{sup -1} cm{sup -1} at 25 deg. C and tan delta<<0.001 over the range 100-320 K and at 10{sup 5} Hz. Solid solutions between these new phases and the compositionally and structurally related relaxor ferroelectric Ba{sub 2}LaTi{sub 2}Nb{sub 3}O{sub 15} show gradual loss of ferroelectric behaviour attributed to replacement of polarisable Ti{sup 4+} by a mixture of (Mn, Fe){sup 3+} and Nb{sup 5+}. - Graphical Abstract: Tetragonal tungsten bronze structure of Ba{sub 2}La(Mn, Fe)Nb{sub 4}O{sub 15} from two different viewpoints.
