| dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
