Abstract

Perovskite-structured ceramics in the (1−x)BiSc1∕2Fe1∕2O3-xPbTiO3 (BSF-PT) system were fabricated for x⩾0.45 in which a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) occurred between rhombohedral and tetragonal phases at x≈0.50(TC=440°C). Samples close to the MPB gave piezoelectric and electromechanical coupling coefficients of ∼300pC∕N and 0.5, respectively. The low cost of BSF-PT in comparison to (1−x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 (BS-PT) coupled with its high TC and usable piezoelectric properties suggests future commercial exploitation.
