Description
Summary:The lead-free piezoelectric ceramic binary system of (1-x)Bi 0.5 (Na 0.80 K 0.20 ) 0.5 TiO 3 -x(Ba 0.7 Sr 0.3 )TiO 3 or (1-x) BNKT-xBST (with x ranging from 0.05 to 0.15 mol fraction) near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) has been investigated. The ceramics were synthesized by a conventional mixed-oxide method and sintered at 1125°C for 2 h. All BNKT-BST samples had relative density higher than 98% of their theoretical values. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all compositions had a pure perovskite structure and BST effectively diffused into the BNKT lattice during sintering to form a solid solution. Crystal structure changed from rhombohedral-rich phase to tetragonal-rich phase with increasing BST content. Because of such MPB-like behavior, the highest dielectric (T c = 325°C, e{open} r = 1827, tan δ = 0.0823) and piezoelectric performances (d 33 = 225 pC/N) were obtained in the BNKT-0.11BST sample. © 2013 The Korean Institute of Metals and Materials and Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
