Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

Poling characteristics, especially DC poling field (E) dependence of dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated to evaluate the domain behavior in lead-free ceramics such as alkali niobate and alkali bismuth titanate ceramics. The domain switching was confirmed by the E to realize minimum dielectric constant (εr), minimum electromechanical coupling factor (k) and maximum frequency constant (fc), because of domain clamping. On the other hand, the domain rotation occurred at the E to obtain maximum εr and minimum fc. These phenomena are observed in the lead-free ceramics as well as PZT ceramics.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

(Na1-xBax)(Nb1-xTix)O3 (NNBTx; x=0.0-0.21) solid-solution ceramics were synthesized and their crystal structure, dielectric properties and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure at room temperature of NNBTx varied from orthorhombic to tetragonal with increasing BaTiO3 content x. The phase boundary between orthorhombic and tetragonal at room temperature was confirmed BT content between x=0.08 and 0.09. For x>0.05, it was found that the Curie temperature was decreased with increasing x. The highest electromechanical coupling factor, kp, and the largest piezoelectric constant, d33, were obtained at x=0.09-0.10.

(K,Na)NbO3(KNN)-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramic could be fabricated by ordinary solid sintering method.This paper reported preferable properties of solid solutions (1-x)(Na0.535K0.480)NbO3-xLiNbO3(x=0.050,0.055,0.060,0.065 and 0.070 successively) all sintered at 1060°C.The nonconservation of charge suppressed negative effects caused by evaporations of K&Na and doped Li occupied A sites in ABO3perovskite structure lattices led to the intensification of lattice distortion.XRD result showd phase transition from coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal symmetry to tetragonal.Polymorphic phase boundary could be observed when 0.050≤ x≤ 0.060.Coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases brought improvements of piezoelectric coefficient d33and electromechanical coupling factor kp,whose top values were 162 pC/N and 28.1% in this paper. Positive correlation between the Curie temperature and Li content proved that a distorted crystal lattice needed more energy to accomplish its phase transition from tetragonal to cubic than a normal one.

(1-x) (K0.475Na0.475Li0.05)(Nb0.975Sb0.025)O3-xmolBiFeO3 (x=0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008) doped with 0.8mol%CuO lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that all the ceramics presented perovskite structure. The compositional dependence of the phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. The ceramic (x=0.002) near room temperature exhibited excellent electrical properties (piezoelectric constant d33=172pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling factor kp=0.43, and dielectric constant =418). A relatively high mechanical quality factor (Qm=200) was also obtained in this particular composition. All these results revealed that this system might become a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials.

Planar Electromechanical Coupling Factor

In the poling process of PZT ceramics, the poling temperature is a critical condition. When the poling temperature is too low, no matter how high is the poling field and how long is the poling time, the planar electromechanical coupling factor kpis lower. When the poling temperature is higher enough, the kpcan reach to a saturated value with a lower poling field and short poling time. The variation of dielectric constant with the poling conditions is the same as that of planar electromechanical coupling factor. When poling with a low temperature, the dielectric constant after poling is lower than 1400. When poling with higher temperature, no matter how high is the poling field and how long is the poling time, the dielectric constant after poling is higher than 1500.

Improved Stability

We propose the design and synthesis of a polycrystalline sintered composite microstructure that leads to improved stability of piezoelectric response as a function of temperature in ( K , Na ) NbO 3 (KNN) based ceramics. The microstructure consists of matrix and island both of which have different composition and surface area. The matrix had much larger surface area and smaller orthorhombic to tetragonal transition temperature (T O-T ) than island. The composition corresponding to 0.99( K 0.48 Na 0.48 Li 0.04)( Nb 0.98 Sb 0.02) O 3-0.01 BaTiO 3 ( KNLNS-BT , T O-T ~ 33° C ) was selected as matrix while ( K 0.5 Na 0.5) NbO 3 ( KNN , T O-T ~ 206° C) was selected as island. The results show the flat electromechanical coupling factor from room temperature until ~ 300°C.
