Abstract
The ternary perovskite xPbTiO3 - (1−x)[BiScO3 + Bi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3] (PT-BS-BNiT), where x = 0.54 is the morphotropic phase boundary composition, was studied for high temperature ferroelectric applications. Polycrystalline ceramics were prepared using the standard solid-state methods. The stoichiometric ceramic was found to have room temperature dielectric permittivity and loss values at 1 kHz of 1490 and 0.049 respectively. Piezoelectric properties, of the stoichiometric composition, measured included: Pr = 31.0 μC/cm2, Ec = 25.0 kV/cm, d33 = 340 pC/N, d33 * = 896 pm/V, and a bipolar electromechanical strain of 0.25 %. From these data, the Curie temperature was TC = 370 °C and the depoling temperature was TD = 325 °C. Processing ceramics with excess bismuth improved the low field piezoelectric coefficients with a maximum of d33 = 445 pC/N, while increasing the lead content increased the transition temperatures. The depoling and Curie temperatures of all compositions were measured to be between 275 and 400 °C.
