The microstructure and electric properties of the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition 0.8Bi(1/2)Na(1/2)TiO(3)-0.2Bi(1/2)K(1/2)TiO(3) have been investigated. X-ray and electron diffraction results substantiate the co-existence of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases. The ferroelectric domains were clearly observed by electron microscopy. The oxygen octahedron tilting of the samples was studied by SAED. Both saturated polarization electric field and butterfly shaped strain electric field hysteresis loops prove that the MPB composition shows typical ferroelectric nature. The detailed microstructure property characterization may shed light on the physical property of further work on BNT-BKT around morphotropic phase boundary.
