This work highlights structural and domain evolution, orbital hybridization, and giant strain in the textured [(Bi1/2Na1/2)(0.925)Ba-0.075](Ti0.998Mn0.002)O-3 (BNT-7.5BT-0.2% Mn) ceramics. The as-sintered textured specimens reveal a predominant tetragonal P4bm (fraction similar to 94.4%) phase with a minor rhombohedral R3c (fraction similar to 1.4%) phase. X-ray absorption spectra indicate reduced hybridization between the O 2p and the Na 3sp/Bi 6sp/Ti 3d orbitals, implying decreased atomic bonding due to Mn doping. A mixture of Mn2+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ valence states was identified in the ceramic matrix. In-situ electric (E)-field dependent XRD results show a reversible E-field-induced phase transition, suggesting an ergodic relaxor ferroelectric. An E-field-induced giant strain of similar to 0.495% at room temperature is attributed to the oriented relaxor ferroelectric P4bm phase and decreased bonding strength, which facilitate a transition from relaxor to ferroelectric phase. The poled specimen at E = 60 kV/cm shows a structural transition sequence of tetragonal P4bm + rhombohedral R3c ->(similar to 220 degrees C) tetragonal P4bm ->(similar to 483 degrees C) cubic.
