    Lead-free 0.88BaTiO<inf>3</inf>–(0.12-x)BaZrO<inf>3</inf>–xCaTiO<inf>3</inf> (BT-BZ-xCT) ceramics were fabricated via solid state reaction. The effect of CaTiO<inf>3</inf> content on crystal structure, phase transition, and electrical properties was investigated systematically. The crystal structure and phase transition of ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra and dielectric measurement. Results show that ceramic in the composition, x = 0.02, exhibits a rhombohedral structure. Ceramics with increasing CT content transformed from a rhombohedral to orthorhombic structure in the composition, x = 0.04, and eventually became a tetragonal structure at the composition, x ≥ 0.08. The polymorphic phase boundary (PPB) was observed at the composition, x = 0.06, with coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases showing at almost room temperature. This PPB composition exhibited a high piezoelectric response (d<inf>33</inf>*) of 1,150 pm/V at 10 kV/cm as an electric field was applied. These results indicate that the materials studied have potential as candidates for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.

    The series of 0.86BaTiO<inf>3</inf>–(0.14−x)BaZrO<inf>3</inf>–xCaTiO<inf>3</inf> (abbreviated as BT–BZ–xCT) ceramics with 0.03 ≤ x ≤ 0.11 were studied to obtain high piezoelectric properties. Rietveld refinement analysis indicated that the BT–BZ–CT compositions follow a gradual rhombohedral (R) → orthorhombic (O) + R → O + tetragonal (T) → T phase transformation with increasing x. Clear evidence of the series of ferroelectric phase transitions was also found in the dielectric results. The R-O and O-T transition temperature shifted close to ambient temperature, while the Curie temperature slightly increased with increasing x. In addition to the dielectric loss peaks associated with the structural phase transitions, a broad low-temperature dielectric loss peak was detected in the R phase at T = 90-150 K. This dielectric relaxation was attributed to the domain wall freezing and fits well to the Vogel-Fulcher model with activation energy E<inf>a</inf> ≈ 60-300 meV and freezing temperature T<inf>VF</inf> ≈ 75-140 K. High piezoelectric strain coefficient (d<inf>33</inf>*) of about 1030 pm/V at 10 kV was achieved at x = 0.07, and a high Curie temperature (T<inf>C</inf>) was maintained at about 375 K.

    The lead-free piezoelectric ceramics on the binary system of (1-x)(K<inf>1/2</inf>Na<inf>1/2</inf>)NbO<inf>3</inf>-xBi(Zn<inf>2/3</inf>Nb<inf>1/3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> [(1-x)KNN-xBZnN]; x = 0.01-0.10 were fabricated by the solid state reaction method. The structure and phase transition were determined by X-ray diffraction.The results of XRD patterns suggested that Bi(Zn<inf>2/3</inf>Nb<inf>1/3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> completely diffuse into the (K<inf>1/2</inf>Na<inf>1/2</inf>)NbO<inf>3</inf> lattices to form a solid solution. The crystal structure was in an orthorhombic phase for x ≤ 0.01. When reaching 0.01 < x ≤ 0.07, crystal structure became a rhombohedral phase and transformed to a pseudo-cubic structure for x > 0.07. The dielectric data shows that the amount of Bi(Zn<inf>2/3</inf>Nb<inf>1/3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> added in the (K<inf>1/2</inf>Na<inf>1/2</inf>)NbO<inf>3</inf> decreases the ferroelectric - paraelectric transition temperature progressively. Furthermore, optimum piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties were observed at the composition, x = 0.01: effective piezoelectric coefficients (d<inf>33</inf>) = 498 pm/V, remanent polarization (P<inf>r</inf>) = 23.3 μC/cm<sup>2</sup>, coercive field (E<inf>c</inf>) = 14 kV/cm, maximum strain (Sma<inf>x</inf>) = 0.3% and Curie temperature (T<inf>C</inf>) = 380°C. The results of this study show that KNN with a small amount of Bi(Zn<inf>2/3</inf>Nb<inf>1/3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (x = 0.01) can be one of lead-free piezoelectric ceramic candidate.

    An investigation of the coexistent ferroelectric phase was carried out on the ternary system of 0.87BaTiO<inf>3</inf>-(0.13-x)BaZrO<inf>3</inf>-xCaTiO<inf>3</inf> [abbreviated as BT-BZ-xCT (where 0.00≤x≤0.13)]. Temperature-, frequency-dependent dielectric data, electric field-dependent strain and polarization as a function of composition are presented in order to understand the relationships of structure-properties and find the high piezoelectric response in this system. Results showed that ceramics in the composition range of 0.00≤x<0.04 were of a rhombohedral structure and transformed into a tetragonal structure at x>0.06. The multiphase coexistence of the rhombohedral and tetragonal phase in this system was identified at x=0.06. A large, virtually hysteresis-free electric field induced strain of 0.23% was achieved with the composition, x=0.06, at 40kV/cm on the boundary between rhombohedral and tetragonal phase. This relates to an extraordinarily high and normalized piezoelectric coefficient (S<inf>max</inf>/E<inf>max</inf>) of 1280pm/V, which was reached at a low electric field applied at 10kV/mm. These results indicated that a high piezoelectric response may stem primarily from the rhombohedral-tetragonal phase boundary, due to greater lattice softening and reduced energy barriers for polarized rotation.

    Manganese zinc pyrophosphate (Mn<inf>(2-x)</inf>Zn<inf>x</inf>P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> when x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) ceramics were fabricated by conventionally mixing oxide using the normal sintering method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results indicated that synthesized Mn<inf>(2-x)</inf>Zn<inf>x</inf>P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> systems have a pure monoclinic phase without the presence of phase impurities. The lattice parameters and crystalline sizes analyzed from XRD data were changed depending on the amount of added Zn<sup>2+</sup> ion concentration in the Mn<inf>2</inf>P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> structure. The FT-IR and Raman results showed the fundamental vibrations of P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> <sup>4-</sup> ion and Mn-O or Zn-O, which confirmed the Mn<inf>(2-x)</inf>Zn<inf>x</inf>P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> formation. In addition, dielectric stability of temperature and frequency was observed in the composition, x = 1.0, with a dielectric constant value of 11.5 at 1 MHz. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    The ternary system of 0.945(K<inf>0.5</inf>Na<inf>0.5</inf>NbO <inf>3</inf>)-(0.055 - x)LiNbO<inf>3</inf>-xLiSbO<inf>3</inf> [0.945KNN-(0.055 - x)LN-xLS]; x = 0.0-0.055 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics was fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method with normal sintering. The crystal structure was studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results of XRD patterns show that complete solid solutions of the mixed phase between the orthorhombic and tetragonal perovskite phase were observed. The DSC and dielectric data show that the amount of LiSbO<inf>3</inf> in K<inf>0.5</inf>Na<inf>0.5</inf>NbO <inf>3</inf>-LiNbO<inf>3</inf> solid solution slightly decreases the paraelectric cubic-ferroelectric tetragonal phase transition (T<inf>C</inf>) to a low temperature. Furthermore, good dielectric and piezoelectric properties were observed at composition, x = 0.03. The polymorphic phase transition between the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases plays a very important role in enhancement of the piezoelectric properties of KNN-LN-LS ceramics. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

    In this paper, lead-free (Bi<inf>0.5</inf>K<inf>0.5</inf>)TiO<inf>3</inf> ceramics doped with SrTiO<inf>3</inf> was prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method with sintering temperature at 1040°C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The dielectric, ferroelectric properties were also investigated. The results of X-ray diffraction reveal that SrTiO<inf>3</inf> diffuse into the Bi <inf>0.5</inf>K<inf>0.5</inf>TiO<inf>3</inf> lattices to form a solid solution with a pure perovskite structure. After the introduction of SrTiO<inf>3</inf> into Bi<inf>0.5</inf>K<inf>0.5</inf>TiO<inf>3</inf>, the dielectric constant at room temperature (ε<inf>r</inf>) was found to decrease with increasing SrTiO<inf>3</inf>. The broadness of the dielectric constant peak was observed with increasing SrTiO<inf>3</inf> content, especially that of the 0.94Bi <inf>0.5</inf>K<inf>0.5</inf>TiO<inf>3</inf> - 0.06 SrTiO<inf>3</inf> ceramic which exhibited a very broad curve over a wide temperature range. The Bi <inf>0.5</inf>K<inf>0.5</inf>TiO<inf>3</inf> - SrTiO<inf>3</inf> system was expected to be a new and promising candidate for lead-free capacitors.

    Phase transition and dielectric properties of lead free (K 0.5Na0.5)NbO3- Bi(Zn0.5Ti 0.5)O3 piezoelectric ceramics

    Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics of (1-x)(K0.5Na0.5) NbO3 - x(Bi(Zn0.5Ti0.5)O3; x = 0.00-0.30 were prepared via the two-stage mixed oxide fabrication technique. The crystal structure and ferroelectric phase transitions were studied by means of x-ray diffraction and thermal measurements. XRD results showed that a single-phase perovskite structurewas formed in the ceramics with x ≤ 0.25. For the ceramics with x = 0.30, a small amount of secondary phase Bi2Ti2O7 with a cubic structure was formed. The ceramics with a perovskite structure showed an orthorhombic phase at 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.010 and became rhombohedral at 0.010 < x ≤ 0.015 before transforming to a cubic phase at 0.015 < x ≤ 0.25. In addition, DSC results showed that the phase transition temperature of orthorhombic-tetragonal (TO-T) and tetragonal-cubic (TC) decreased when a small amount of BZT was added. The trend of enthalpy for orthorhombic → tetragonal phase transition and tetragonal → cubic phase were found to reduce with progressive increases in small amounts of BZT content. This behavior could originate from the more complex occupation of the A and B sites in an ABO3 perovskite structure. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

    Lead-free ceramics based on potassium sodium niobate [(K<inf>0.5</inf>Na<inf>0.5</inf>)NbO<inf>3</inf>; KNN]-bismuth zinc titanate [Bi(Zn<inf>0.5</inf>Ti<inf>0.5</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>; BZT] were prepared by the modified-conventional mixed oxide route with normal sintering. The crystal structure and ferroelectric phase transitions were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, thermal and dielectric measurements. The ceramics with perovskite structure were in orthorhombic phase at x ≤ 0.010. When reaching 0.01 < x ≤ 0.03, they became a rhombohedral perovskite structure; and with increasing BZT content, cubic within the studied composition range. The phase Bi<inf>2</inf>Ti<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> with cubic structure began to appear at x > 0.25 and became dominant while increasing the content of BZT. Furthermore, the phase transition temperature of orthorhombic-tetragonal (T<inf>O-T</inf>) and tetragonal-cubic (T<inf>C</inf>) decreased when a small amount of BZT was added. As the amount of BZT concentration increased, the structure became denser, and well developed grain morphology with almost no porosity was finally obtained. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
