Effect of compositional variations on phase transition and electric field-induced strain of (Pb, Ba) (Nb, Zr, Sn, Ti)O3 ceramics

(Pb0.97Ba0.02)Nb0.02(Zr0.55Sn0.45−xTix)0.98O3 (PBNZST, 0.03≤x≤0.06) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state synthesis and their crystal structure, ferroelectric, dielectric, and electric field-induced strain properties were systemically investigated. A transformation from antiferroelectric (AFE) phase to ferroelectric (FE) phase was observed at 0.05
