| dc.description.abstract | Lead-free (K<inf>0.5</inf>Na<inf>0.5</inf>)(Nb<inf>0.7</inf>Ta<inf>0.3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (KNNT) ceramics with Li<sup>+</sup> substitution (KN<inf>0.5-x</inf>Li<inf>x</inf>NT) and direct (KNNT-xLi) doping at x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 mol% were synthesized by the solid-state combustion route. The phase, microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the ceramics were examined. The XRD pattern of the ceramics revealed orthorhombic and tetragonal phases in all specimens. The Rietveld refinement procedure showed that increasing either the Li<sup>+</sup> substitution or doping levels enhanced the amount of the tetragonal phase. It was found that Li<sup>+</sup> doping, either substitutional or additional, enhanced the Curie temperature (T <inf>C</inf>) by increasing the tetragonal distortion, while the dielectric constant (ε <inf>C</inf>) decreased. The good remanent P-E loops of the KN<inf>0.5-x</inf>Li<inf>x</inf>NT ceramics were found with x = 0.01 (P <inf>r</inf>∼10.89 µC/cm<sup>2</sup> and E <inf>C</inf>∼13.09 kV/cm), while for KNNT-xLi ceramics, it was obtained with x = 0.02 (P <inf>r</inf>∼15.65 µC/cm<sup>2</sup> and E <inf>C</inf>∼11.46 kV/cm), which were confirmed by remanent P-E hysteresis measurements. | |
