    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 piezoelectric ceramics based on (1-x)Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3 - x Bi(Zn1/2 Ti1/2)O3 (x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.5) were obtained via solid-state processing techniques. The influence of BZT addition on BNT characteristics, sintering, microstructure and properties was investigated. A single perovskite phase with rhombohedral symmetry was obtained for Bi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3 substitutions of up to 10 mole%. A small amount of BZT was effective for improving both sintering behavior and dielectric properties of BNT ceramics. Optimized dielectric properties were obtained for samples with a maximum density of ρ = 98.3% for the composition, x = 0.1. 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.

    The binary system of (1-x)(K<inf>1/2</inf>Na<inf>1/2</inf>)NbO <inf>3</inf>-xBi(Zni/2Ti<inf>1/2</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>; x = 0.0-0.30 ceramics was fabricated by conventionally mixed oxide and two-stage mixed oxide methods. Phase development of calcined powders and the crystal structure of sintered ceramics were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure analyses were undertaken by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the conventional method, the perovskite phases were obtained for compositions containing only 10 mol % KNN. For compositions above this amount, a complex mixture of phases was observed. However, the complete solid solution of perovskite phase, prepared by two-stage mixed oxide, was retained up to 20 mole % BZT content. The experiments in this study suggest that the two-stage mixed oxide method helps to stabilize the perovskite phase better, when compared with the conventional method. © 2008 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
