Structure and Properties of Novel Pb(B’1/2Nb1/2)O3-PbTiO3 Binary Systems with High Piezoelectric Coupling
The (l-x)Pb(Lu1/2Nb1/2)O3-xPbTiO3 (PLuNT) and (l-x)Pb(Er1/2Nb1/2)O3-xPbTiO3 (PErNT) binary systems have been originally synthesized. Pure lutecium niobate (PLuN) (x = 0) has a pronounced long-range order in the B-sublattice and an antiferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition at ~258°C. The phase structure of the PLuNT system, at room temperature, changes from a pseudomonoclinic (psd-M, space group Bmm2) to tetragonal (T, space group P4mm). The pseudomonoclinic phase extends over the 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.38 interval within which the monoclinic angle β proceeds a minimum near to 90° at x≅0.2. The morphotropic region covers over the interval x = 0.38–0.49, the concentration ratio psd-M:T≅l (the mor…
Morphotropic ceramic solid solutions of the Pb(B3+½Nb½)O3- PbTiO3binary system
Abstract The structure, dielectric, ferroelectric and electromechanical properties of lead lutecium niobate-titanate (PLuNT) and lead erbium niobate-titanate (PErNT) binary systems are reported. The data of phase diagram, crystallographic symmetry and morphotropic phase boundaries (MPB) are provided. High values of the electromechanical coupling coefficients kp = 0.66, kt = 0.48, k31 = 0.36 of (1−x)PLuN − xPT ceramics are attained in compositions near the MPB at x≈0.41.
New high piezoelectric coupling PLuNT binary system ceramics
Abstract The new (1 − x)Pb( Lu 1 2 Nb 1 2 ) O 3 − x PbTiO 3 binary system ceramics in the interval 0 0.49). The morphotropic region extends over the interval x = 0.38–0.49, the concentration ratio M:T ≅ 1 corresponds to x = 0.41. The maximum values of the electromechanical coupling coefficients k p = 0.663, k t = 0.481, k 31 = 0.355 of (1 − x)PLuN-xPT ceramics were attained in compositions PLuNT 59/41 (T m = 353 °C) near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). The PLuNT system, having large values of electromechanical coupling and the highest T m (> 350 °C) among binary Pb(B′,B″)O 3 -PT perovskites may be favorable for piezoelectric sensors and actuators, and may have an interest as promisin…
Structure and properties of high piezoelectric coupling Pb(B′½Nb½)O3-PbTiO3binary systems
Abstract The (1-x)Pb(Lu½ Nb½)O3-xPbTiO3 and (1-x)Pb(Er½ Nb½)O3-xPbTiO3 binary systems have been obtained, the structure and properties of which are studied. The unit cell of erbium niobate (PErN) is described as pseudomonoclinic of orthorhombic Bmm2 symmetry: a=c=4.2161 A b=4.0869 A β=90.55° and composition is characterized with antiferroelectric phase transition at 305°C. The PErNT system has the morphotropic phase region extending over the x=0.4–0.6 interval. In PLuNT ceramics system the pseudomonoclinic phase structure Bmm2 extending over the 0≤x ≤0.38 interval becomes pseudocubic at x≈ 0.2. The morphotropic region is spread over 0.38< × < 0.49; at higher PT concentrations (1.0 ≥ × ≥ 0.4…
