Abstract

Lead-free 0.96[Bi1/2(Na0.84K0.16)1/2](1−x)La x TiO3-0.04SrTiO3 (BNKTLax-ST, with x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.05) ceramics have been synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method and their phase transition, dielectric, ferroelectric, and strain properties investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed formation of pure perovskite phase. A phase transition from coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal to a pseudocubic phase was observed at x = 0.02. Polarization and bipolar strain hysteresis loops indicated that the ferroelectric order (FE) of BNKT-ST is significantly disrupted by lanthanum doping. The destabilization of the FE order results in degradation of the remanent polarization, coercive field, depolarization temperature (T d), electromechanical coupling factor (k p), and static d 33, accompanied by large electric-field-induced strain of 0.34% at 60 kV/cm with normalized strain of d *33  = S max/E max = 600 pm/V at a critical composition of around x = 0.02.
