Abstract

The role of BiFeO₃ addition on the crystal structure, microstructure, and the electrical and electromechanical properties of high-sensitivity Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃–Bi_0.5K_0.5TiO₃ ferroelectric ceramics for compositions at the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is investigated. A perovskite solid solution from nano-sized BiFeO₃ and Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃–Bi_0.5K_0.5TiO₃ powders is obtained, in which the persistence of a MPB in the ternary system is demonstrated. The structural characterization, along with the electrical properties, indicates the stabilization of intermediate domain configurations, associated with a decrease of the temperature for the development of the ferroelectric long-range order. As a consequence, high phase-change electromechanical response is found for certain small BiFeO₃ additions. This result is very promising for the processing of textured ceramics taking advantage of the decomposition behaviour of BiFeO₃. Ceramic texturing is demonstrated, a key technology for developing lead-free piezoelectrics that can replace Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃.
