Polycrystalline materials with a general formula Pb2Na0.8R0.2Nb4.8Fe0.2O15 (R=Dy, Eu, Sm, Nd, La) have been synthesized, in air by a high temperature solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction study, at room temperature, revealed that they crystallize in the tungsten bronze-type structure. Dielectric properties were performed, in the temperature range 25-500 degrees C, at three different frequencies 10, 100 and 1000 kHz. The ferroelectric transition is pronounced by a large thermal hysteresis during the heating and cooling cycles. The determined Curie temperature values T-c were discussed as a function of rare earth size. Phase transitions around T-c for the investigated compounds were confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
