Abstract
In this paper, ternary piezoelectric ceramics with PT gradually replacing BT, 0.65BF-(0.35-x)BT-xPT was successfully synthesized by traditional solid-state method. Achieving excellent performance when x = 0.08 (d33 = 220 pC/N, TC = 435 °C, Pr = 24.19 μC/cm2). To analyze the structural features of the ceramics, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy were employed. Finally, the ferroelectricity of the sample was tested. The results indicate that the appropriate substitution of BT with PT results in a sample structure that coexists with the R phase and the pC phase at the MPB (Morphotropic Phase Boundary) structure, thereby achieving greater piezoelectric performance. With the increase of PT, the R phase increases and the content of pC phase decreases. The increase in the R phase leads to greater lattice distortion and a rise in the Curie temperature. An increase in PT causes a reduction in nanodomains and the formation of macrodomains. The domain structure with both macrodomains and nanodomains is also one of the reasons for the enhanced piezoelectric performance of the sample. A high Tc and a high d33 also indicate that BF-BT-PT ceramics have broad application potential at high temperatures.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
