Abstract:
A giant field-induced strain of 0.65% with excellent temperature insensitivity and fatigue resistance was achieved by introducing 1.5 mol.% B-site complex cations (Zn1/3Nb2/3)(4+) into the 0.93(Bi1/2Na 1/2)TiO3-0.07BaTiO(3) lead-free ferroelectric ceramics. (Bi1/2Na1/2)(0.93)Ba-0.07(Zn1/3Nb2/3)(x)Tit-xO(3) (0 <= x <= 0.025) ceramics were prepared by the columbite route, their microstructure, electric properties, and field-induced strain behavior were systematically investigated. XRD analysis reveals that the B-site substitution by complex cations (Zn1/3Nb2/3)(4+) induces the phase transition from R3c to pseudocubic structures, and demonstrates different phase evolution under field applied. At the composition x= 0.015, a composition-driven boundary between the nonergodic state and ergodic state is observed. Meanwhile, the substitution by complex cations (Zn1/3Nb2/3 )(4+) reduces the dimension of polar nanoregions (PNRs) due to the destruction of the long-range ferroelectric ordering. A phenomenological illustration based on Bokov's suggestion and Landau-Devenshire theory suggests the relationship between the size of PNRs and field-induced strain behavior. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
