The effect of Mg2+/Nb5+ co-substitution at the B-site on the structures and electrical properties of modified Aurivillius ceramics, Bi4Ti3-x(Mg1/3Nb2/3)(x)O-12, was investigated. Rietveld refinement suggested that Bi4Ti3-x(Mg1/3Nb2/3)(x)O-12 crystallized in the orthorhombic space group B2cb at room temperature. A high remnant polarization of 15.5 mu C cm(-2), a large field-induced strain of 0.068% and a high piezoelectric activity of 30 pC N-1 were observed in Bi4Ti2.95(Mg1/3Nb2/3)(0.05)O-12, with a Curie point of 685 degrees C, due to an enhancement in structural distortion and a reduction in leakage current.,.
