Abstract

Although the multi-phase coexistence makes Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-based piezoelectric thin films possess stronger piezoelectric properties and more spacious application prospects in electronic devices, the domain reversal mechanism of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-based thin films cannot be accurately understood due to the size effect. In this study, the relationship between domain structure and piezoelectric properties of the (0.94-x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3-xBi(Fe0.95Mn0.03Ti0.02)O3 thin films are studied by using visualization technology PFM, structure and electrical properties characterizations. The results show that the addition of Bi(Fe0.95Mn0.03Ti0.02)O3 creates a long-range ordered/short-range disordered nanodomain coexisting structure. This kind of coexisting domain structure can realize the long-range reversal driven by disordered nanodomains under the external electric field, reduce the potential barrier and the hysteresis, and significantly enhance the piezoelectric properties of the thin films. Under the same conditions, the piezoelectric properties of the 0.94Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3 thin films are enhanced nearly 2.3 times. This provides a reference for exploring the physical mechanism of high performance lead-free piezoelectric thin films.
