Abstract

Abstract Ceramics of seven quasi-binary concentration sections of the ternary solid solution system (1- x-y )BiFeO 3 - x PbFe 0.5 Nb 0.5 O 3 - y PbTiO 3 were prepared by the conventional solid-phase reaction method in the range of 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.325; 0.05 ≤ y ≤ 0.325. By using x-ray diffraction technique, the phase diagram of the system was constructed which was shown to contain the regions of tetragonal and rhombohedral symmetry and the morphotropic phase boundary between them. Grain morphology, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of selected solid solutions were investigated. The highest piezoelectric coefficient d 33 = 50 pC/N was obtained. Dielectric characteristics of ceramics revealed ferroelectric relaxor behavior and region of diffuse phase transition from the paraelectric to ferroelectric phase in the temperature range of 600–800 K.
