Abstract:

We fabricated (1?x)Bi0.5(Na0.78K0.22)0.5TiO3?xBi(Cu0.5Ti0.5)O3, which is a lead-free piezoelectric material, using a conventional solid-state reaction process and investigated its ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. The addition of small amounts of xBi(Cu0.5Ti0.5)O3 was found to affect the shapes of the polarization-electric field and the strain-electric field hysteresis loops as well as the polarization values. Both the remnant polarization P rand the coercive field E c were found to decrease gradually with increasing xBi(Cu0.5Ti0.5)O3, indicating a shift from normal to relaxor-type ferroelectric behavior. This behavior was further confirmed by analyzing the frequency dispersion in the temperature-dependent dielectric measurements. The strain was significantly increased for a xBi(Cu0.5Ti0.5)O3 content of x = 0.01 and then decreased monotonically with further additions ofxBi(Cu0.5Ti0.5)O3. The largest normalized strain constant (d * 33 = 400 pm/V at 50 kV/cm) was obtained for axBi(Cu0.5Ti0.5)O3 content of x = 0.01. This suggests that this material (at least for a xBi(Cu0.5Ti0.5)O3 content of 0.01 or less) is a promising candidate for actuator applications.
