چکیده
We report a comprehensive comparative study of ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of BNT-BKT-BT ceramics through the MPB (morphotropic phase boundary) zone, from the rhombohedral to the tetragonal phases in the system (97.5-x)(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO₃ + x(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO₃ + 2.5(BaTiO₃), where x = 0 to 24.5 mol %. The structural transitions were studied by XRD patterns and Raman spectra. The MPB was confirmed between x = 10 and 12.5 mol % BKT. The dielectric/ferroelectric/piezoelectric properties of the BNT-BKT-BT system are maximized in the MPB region exhibiting a dielectric constant of 1506, a remanent polarization of 34.4 μC/cm², a coercive field = 36.9 kV/cm, and piezoelectric values of d33 = 109 pC/N, kt = 0.52, and kp = 0.24. Changes in microstructure as a function of BKT content are also presented and discussed.

Lead-free relaxor ferroelectrics that feature a core-shell microstructure provide an excellent electromechanical response. They even have the potential to replace the environmentally hazardous lead-zirconia-titanate (PZT) in large strain actuation applications. Although the dielectric properties of core-shell ceramics have been extensively investigated, their piezoelectric properties are not ye...

High density sodium lithium niobate lead free ceramics near the morphtropic phase boundary [NaxLi1−xNbO3, (LNN), x=0.12] were prepared by the solid state reaction method. XRD patterns showed that the lattice structures were changed after polarization. The temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss, pyroelectric coefficient and DSC curves of LNN ceramics showed that th...
