Abstract

Since the 1950s, the perovskite-type FE solid solutions are regarded as important objects for the study of interconnections in the fundamental triangle ‘composition–structure–properties. The FE solid solutions, especially those comprising PbTiO3, BaTiO3, or KNbO3 among components, have been of great interest due to various electromechanical, FE, and other properties [1, 2, 3, 4]. In Chap.2, we focus attention on the following perovskite-type solid solutions: \(\mathrm{Pb}({\mathrm{Zr}}_{1-x}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{x}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}\) (PZT), PMN–xPT, and \((1 - x)\mathrm{Pb}({\mathrm{Zn}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3})\mathrm{{O}_{3}} - x\mathrm{PbTi{O}_{3}}\) (PZN–xPT). The compositions are chosen near the MPB that represents a transition region [5, 6] where the crystal structure changes abruptly and extreme values of the physical properties take place with change in the molar concentration x. The perovskite-type solid solutions of PZT (ceramics), PMN–xPT, PZN–xPT (SCs and ceramics), etc., have been intensively studied in the last decade [2, 3, 6], and it is caused by many reasons.
