Concurrence of ferroelectric, dielectric and magnetic behaviour in Tb2Ti2O7 pyrochlore
Preprint
Abstract
We report the ferroelectric property in Tb2Ti2O7 pyrochlore, prepared by a two-step solid-state reaction method. A concave P-E (polarisation vs electric field) loop observed from 382 K confirms ferroelectricity, below which the loop remains as pointed or banana-shaped. Dielectric plots clearly show an anomaly at 383 K and the magnetic data reveals a deviation from 380 K supporting the observed ferroelectric ordering. The origin of ferroelectricity in Tb2Ti2O7 is discussed which is due to the structural distortion in TiO6 octahedron.Keywords
