Abstract
The sol–gel prepared (1-x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-(x) CaMnO3 (x = 0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.12) compositions show a Rhombohedral (R3c) phase up to x = 0.06 while a mixed rhombohedral (R3c) and orthorhombic (Pnma) phases for the x = 0.12. The lattice volume consistently decreased with an increase in the CaMnO3 content. The phase transition temperature (Tc) decreased with an increase in the CaMnO3 compositions. The room temperature dielectric constant increased, and loss decreased for the x = 0.03 composition due to a decrease in the oxygen vacancy and Bi loss confirmed by the valence state study (XPS). All the compositions show a variation of the room temperature dielectric property with an application of magnetic field confirming a magnetodielectric coupling. The x = 0.06 composition shows the highest negative magnetodielectric coupling constant (MD%) of 3.69 at 100 kHz at an applied field of 5 kG.
