The lead-free (1-x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 - xAgNbO3 (x = 0.00-0.15) ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction. Anomaly large grain growth was observed by scanning electron microscopy with an average grain size reaching 90 μm for x = 0.02. The incorporation of AgNbO3 into (Na0.5Bi0.5) TiO3 led to h...
