Sintering of Lead-Free Piezoelectric Sodium Potassium Niobate Ceramics
The potassium sodium niobate, K0.5Na0.5NbO₃, solid solution (KNN) is considered as one of the most promising, environment-friendly, lead-free candidates to replace highly efficient, lead-based piezoelectrics. Since the first reports of KNN, it has been recognized that obtaining phase-pure materials with a high density and a uniform, fine-grained microstructure is a major challenge. For this rea...
متن کاملNew electric-field-driven mesoscale phase transitions in polarized suspensions.
We report the discovery of a new class of an electric field-driven bulk phase transition due solely to dipolar interactions in a suspension under the action of a uniform ac field where the effects of other competing forces are suppressed. This transition appears after the well-known chain-column formation and causes the uniform suspension of columns to rearrange into a cellular pattern consisti...
متن کاملPotassium Sodium Niobate-Based Lead-Free Piezoelectric Multilayer Ceramics Co-Fired with Nickel Electrodes
Although lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been extensively studied, many problems must still be overcome before they are suitable for practical use. One of the main problems is fabricating a multilayer structure, and one solution attracting growing interest is the use of lead-free multilayer piezoelectric ceramics. The paper reviews work that has been done by the authors on lead-free alkal...
متن کاملComposition-driven structural phase transitions in rare-earth-doped BiFeO3 ceramics: a review.
Bismuth ferrite suffers from high leakage currents and the presence of a complex incommensurate spin cycloidal magnetic ordering, which has limited its commercial viability and has led researchers to investigate the functionality of doped BiFeO3 ceramics. In particular, the substitution of rare earths onto the Bi(3+) site of the perovskite lattice have been shown to lead to improved functional ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Friendly Potassium Sodium Niobate Based Thin Films from Solutions
We present the synthesis of ~250 nm thick K0.5Na0.5NbO3 thin films on platinized silicon substrates from alkoxide-based solutions with the stoichiometric composition and with the 5 or 10 mole % potassium acetate excess. The films crystallized into a pure perovskite phase, but depending on the amount of the alkali excess in solutions, they consisted of ~50 nm or of ~200 nm large grains. The fine...
