Abstract

ABSTRACTPb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 ceramics were fabricated by mixed-oxide route. The compositions along morphotropic phase boundary were investigated. Dielectric properties and piezoelectric coefficient were measured. The maximum relative permittivity is 33600 found in the (PIN-PT)x(PMN-PT)1-x ceramics with x = 0.1 at 167 °C. When increasing the amount of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3, the piezoelectric coefficient of the ceramics decreases but the phase transition temperature increases. The selected-area electron diffraction patterns show the pseudo-cubic perovskite symmetry. Diffuse scattering is found in the diffraction pattern taken at higher order zone axis. Transmission electron microscopy study shows that the morphology of ferroelectric/ferroelastic domains is neither tetragonal nor rhombohedral configuration.
