Enhanced photodielectric and photochromic characteristics of KNN-based ceramics doped with CaSc0.5Nb0.5O3
摘要
Multifunction development of KNN-based ceramics is of great significance for the applications of optoelectronic devices. The CaSc0.5Nb0.5O3 (CSN)-modified K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) ceramics were used to investigate their photodielectric and photochromic properties. All the samples have a perovskite structure. As the CSN content is increased, a phase transition occurs from an orthorhombic phase to a pseudo-cubic phase, and the fine grains are further refined. The reversible photodielectric and photochromic response of KNN-based ceramics is enhanced by the CSN dopants. High dielectric tunability of 900% is obtained under 365 nm light illumination, and a high reflectance change reflected the photochromic response is 48.49%. These results facilitate the development of new non-contact optoelectronic devices.
