    The solid solution of a (1-x)PbZrO<inf>3</inf>-xPb(In<inf>1/2</inf>Nb <inf>1/2</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (PZ-PIN) system, with x=0.00-0.50, was synthesized using the wolframite precursor method. The effects of the PIN content on the crystal structure, and the electrical and thermal properties of a PbZrO <inf>3</inf> ceramic were investigated using X-ray diffraction, dielectric spectroscopy, hysteresis measurement, and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. Furthermore, the morphology and grain size were determined using scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the pure perovskite phase was obtained for all compositions, and the solid solution, PZ-PIN, changed from orthorhombic to rhombohedral symmetry when the amount of PIN increased. A ferroelectric intermediate phase began to appear between the paraelectric and the antiferroelectric phases of pure PZ, with increasing PIN content. The temperature range width of the ferroelectric phase also increased continuously with increasing PIN. At room temperature, the polymorphic phase transition (PPT) was identified from the orthorhombic to the rhombohedral phase in (1-x)PZ-xPIN at the composition, x=0.40. The ceramics (x=0.40) with PPT close to room temperature exhibited excellent electrical properties (ε<inf>rmax</inf>= 33240 and P<inf>r</inf>=26.94 μC/cm<sup>2</sup>). © 2011 The American Ceramic Society.

    Lead free piezoelectric in the ternary system of 0.9BaTiO<inf>3</inf>-(0.1-x)CaTiO<inf>3</inf>-xBaSnO<inf>3</inf> [BCT-xBS], where x = 0.00–0.075, was fabricated via a conventional solid state reaction. The effect of substituting BCT with BS on the crystal structure as well as dielectric, ferroelectric and strain behavior was investigated systematically in order to search for outstanding actuating performances in lead free piezoelectric ceramics. A ferroelectric phase diagram of BT-CT-BS was established in this work, and a multi-ferroelectric phase composition was designed near ambient temperature, based on an established phase diagram. The BS substitute depressed the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase temperature slightly and raised the transition temperatures of O-T phase transformations, thus, the orthorhombic phase could be stabilized above the ambient temperature with x > 0.05. As a result, the polymorphic phase composition showed outstanding piezoelectric values of k<inf>p</inf> = 41.7%, d<inf>33</inf> = 469 pC/N and d<inf>33</inf><sup>*</sup> = 1335 pm/V@10 kV/cm, which are suitable for lead free piezoelectric actuator applications.

    The solid solution of a (1-x)PbZrO<inf>3</inf> - xPb(Y<inf>1/2</inf>Nb <inf>1/2</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (PZ - PYN) system, with x = 0.00 - 0.08, was synthesized by the wolframite precursor method. The effects of PYN content on crystal structure, and electrical and thermal properties of PbZrO<inf>3</inf> ceramic were investigated. The crystal structure of sintered ceramics was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The pure perovskite phase was obtained for all compositions. The transition temperatures of the AFE to PE phase become lower with PYN increase. The dielectric properties of PZ were improved by the addition of PYN. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

    Solid solution of 0.9BaTiO<inf>3</inf>-(0.1-x)Bi<inf>0.5</inf>Na<inf>0.5</inf>TiO<inf>3</inf>-xBi(Mg<inf>0.5</inf>Ti<inf>0.5</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (BT-BNT-xBMT) system, where x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, was synthesized by the solid state reaction. Dense BT-BNT-xBMT ceramics were obtained by sintering at 1,150-1,250C for 4 h. The effect of BMT on crystal structure and electrical property of BT-BNT ceramics was investigated as a function of composition, x, using X-ray diffraction, dielectric spectroscopy, hysteresis and strain measurements. The crystal structure of solid solution BT-BNT-xBMT, where x = 0.00-0.10, successively transforms from tetragonal to pseudocubic symmetry, with increased BMT concentration. Temperature dependence of dielectric constant (ε<inf>r</inf>) and dielectric loss (tanδ) for BT-BNT-xBMT at various frequencies showed that phase transition of ceramics changed from ferroelectric to relaxor-like behavior as BMT content increased. Furthermore, remanent polarization (P<inf>r</inf>), coercive field (E<inf>c</inf>) and the normalized strain (d<inf>33</inf>∗) of BT-BNT-xBMT ceramics tend to decrease with increasing BMT concentration.

    Phase transition behavior of the (1-x) PbZrO 3-x Ba (Al 1/2 Nb 1/2) O 3 solid solution

    Solid solution of the (1-x)PbZrO <inf>3</inf>-xBa(Al <inf>1/2</inf>Nb <inf>1/2</inf>)O <inf>3</inf> system, with x = 0.02-0.30, was prepared using solid state reaction. The effect of Ba(Al <inf>1/2</inf>Nb <inf>1/2</inf>)O <inf>3</inf> on phase transitions and thermal and electrical properties was investigated. The stability of ferroelectric phase in pure PZ was found to improve with increasing BAN content, which corresponded to the increased tolerance factor (t) of solid solution. In comparison to other systems, results in this study indicated that the tolerance factor can predict the ferroelectric (FE)/antiferroelectric (AFE) stability of PZ-based solid solution. If the t value of solid solution is higher than pure PZ, the FE phase can be induced. On the other hand, the AFE phase is stabilized when the t value of solid solution is lower than pure PZ. © 2012 The American Ceramic Society.

    Effect of A-site and B-site ion replaced with small ions on the intermediate phase in PbZrO3 ceramic

    ;
    The solid solution of (1 - x)PbZrO<inf>3</inf>-xNaNbO<inf>3</inf> ceramics, where x = 0.0-0.08, was synthesized by solid state reaction. The basic characterizations were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), dielectric spectroscopy, hysteresis measurement and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The results indicated that the crystal structure of the solid solution, (1 - x)PZ-xNN, where x = 0.00-0.08, is of orthorhombic symmetry. It was found that the effect of NN being replaced with small ions at the A-site and B-site can induce an AFE-like phase in PZ. The FE intermediate phase of PZ cannot be induced, although Zr<sup>4+</sup> ions were substituted by small Nb<sup>5+</sup> ions. This is due to the decreasing average rate of radii in the A-site (0.1 Å mol<sup>-1</sup>) being higher than that in the B-site (0.08 Å mol<sup>-1</sup>). © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The (1 - x)PbZrO <inf>3</inf>-xPb(Yb <inf>1/2</inf>Nb <inf>1/2</inf>)O <inf>3</inf> (PZ-PYbN) ceramics, with the compositions, x = 0.00-0.50, were prepared by the wolframite precursor method. The crystal structure and electrical and thermal properties of PbZrO <inf>3</inf> ceramic were investigated as a function of the composition, x, using X-ray diffraction, dielectric spectroscopy, hysteresis measurement and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. The results indicated that the solid solution, PZ-PYbN, changed from orthorhombic to rhombohedral symmetry when the amount of PYbN increased. The pyrochlore phase identified as Yb/Nb mixed compound was observed at the composition, x ≥ 0.2. For the compositions, x = 0.00-0.10, ceramics showed a sharp phase transition from AFE to PE. Furthermore, the intermediate FE phase was absent from the PZ-PYbN system. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

    Solid solution of (1-x)PbZrO<inf>3</inf>-xPb(Ni<inf>1/2</inf>W <inf>1/2</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>;(1-x)PZ-xPNW ceramics, where x = 0.02-0.10, were prepared by solid state reaction. Dense (1-x)PZ - xPNW ceramics were obtained by sintering at 1,100?C for 4 h. Effect of PNW on crystal structure, phase transitions and thermal and electrical properties was investigated using X-ray diffraction, dielectric spectroscopy, hysteresis measurement and differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicated that the solubility limit of the (1-x)PZ-xPNW system was found at x = 0.04. It was proved that the intermediate phase is an antiferroelectric in the PZ-PNW system. Stability of the AFE intermediate phase was seen to improve with increasing PNW content. Copyright © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

    The combination of antiferroelectric PbZrO<inf>3</inf> (PZ) and relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Zn<inf>1/3</inf>Nb<inf>2/3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> was prepared via the columbite precursor method. The basic characterizations were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), linear thermal expansion, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques, dielectric spectroscopy, and hysteresis measurement. The XRD result indicated that the solid solubility limit of the (1-x)PZ-xPZN system was about x = 0.40. The crystal structure of (1-x)PZ-xPZN transformed from orthorhombic to rhombohedral symmetry when the concentration of PZN was increased. A ferroelectric intermediate phase began to appear between the paraelectric and antiferroelectric phases of pure PZ, with increasing PZN content. In addition, the temperature range of the ferroelectric phase increased with increasing PZN concentration. Themorphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in this system was located close to the composition, x = 0.20. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
