Effect of Doping Ions on Structure and Electrical Properties of Lead-Free KNN Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Doping effect on the lattice parameters, vibration modes, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of LiSbO3, LiTaO3 and LiNbO3 substituted lead-free K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) ceramics are investigated. All compositions are crystallized in morphotropic phase boundary region. Enhanced piezoelectric and electromechanical response d33 ~176–197 pC/N, kp ~45%–48%, and kt ~34%–47% obtained in the doped ceramics are due to the presence of the polymorphic phase transition between orthorhombic and tetragonal phase at room temperature.
