The PbSnO3-PbTiO3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (PST-PMN) ternary system with morphotropic phase-boundary (MPB) compositions were fabricated using a two-step columbite precursor method. The effects of Al2O3 and MnO2 addition on the dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties of PST-PMN were investigated. MnO2 acted as an acceptor dopant and induced a hardening effect in PST-PMN, with decreased piezoelectric coefficients d(33) and increased mechanical quality factors Q(m), while the addition of Al2O3 led to the significant decrease of piezoelectric properties, attributed to the second phase. Of particular interest is the fact that the Mn-doped PST-PMN exhibited excellent properties when the doping level was in the range of 0.2-0.5wt%, with piezoelectric d(33), planar electromechanical coupling k(p), dielectric permittivity E-r, Q(m), remnant polarization P-r and coercive field E-C being on the order of approximate to 510pCN(-1), approximate to 57%, 3120-3500, 530-600, 27-30 mu Ccm(-2), and approximate to 8kVcm(-1), respectively, showing advantages over commercial PZT4-type ceramics, which are promising for high-power electromechanical applications.
