Abstract
(1 â x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-x(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BNT-xBCT, 0 â¤Â x â¤Â 0.15) solid solutions have been synthesized by a conventional solid state sintering method for obtaining a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with good piezoelectric properties. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that a MPB of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases is formed at compositions 0.09 â¤Â x â¤Â 0.12. Addition of BCT into BNT greatly lowered coercive field Ec without degrading remanent polarization Pr. The specimen with x = 0.09 has the good piezoelectric properties: d33 = 125 pC/N and kp = 0.33. A modified Curie-Weiss law was used to fit the dielectric constant of BNT-xBCT ceramics, and a frequency dispersion was observed during the phase transitions from antiferroelectric to paraelectric in specimens with x exceeding 0.06.
