Abstract
We report experimental investigation on the ferroelectricity and electric field-induced strain response in LiNbO3-doped 0.94(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.06BaTiO3 (BNT-BT) piezoelectric ceramics. At room temperature, a large strain of 0.6% (at 70kV/cm) is achieved in the 2.5%-LiNbO3-doped BNT-BT, higher than that of commercially-utilized Pb(Zr,Ti)O3. The corresponding piezoelectric coefficient d*33 reaches 857 pm/V, which is high among these of BNT-based ceramics at room temperature. Further study indicates that the superior piezoelectric properties are realized at the ferroelectric-relaxor transition temperature TF-R, which is pushed to room temperature with 2.5% LiNbO3 doping. This indicates that large electromechanical response can be induced via delicate mixing of the ferroelectric rhombohedral phase and the polar nanoregions (PNRs) relaxor-ferroelectric tetragonal phase.
