The study of the solid solution (1 - x)[Bi-1/2(Na1/2K1/2)(1/2)TiO3]-xPbZrO(3) revealed a unique phenomenon where ferroelectric and relaxor phases coexist near x = 0.05. At the critical composition, significant enhancement in the piezoelectric properties was observed. The transition in the crystal structure from tetragonal symmetry to pseudocubic symmetry to a lower symmetry perovskite phase corresponds to the changes in the electromechanical properties.
The solid solution (1 - x)[Bi-1/2(Na1/2K1/2)(1/2)TiO3]-xPbZrO(3), (0.00 <= x <= 0.12) was investigated to examine the phase equilibria, dielectric and electromechanical properties. The composition corresponding to x = 0.00 exhibits tetragonal symmetry with the expected classical ferroelectric (FE) behavior. The system exhibited FE to relaxor crossover with the addition of lead zirconate at the composition x = 0.05. This is indicated by typical relaxor characteristics such as a transition to the global pseudocubic phase, a constriction in the FE hysteresis loop, and a sudden decrease in the negative strain accompanied by an increase in maximum strain. Most notably, with a further increase in x (>0.05), there is evidence for a return to a FE phase that exhibits classical FE characteristics. The combined results demonstrate that there exists a narrow FE-relaxor boundary near x = 0.05, where FE and relaxor phases coexist. At the critical composition, enhancement in the piezoelectric properties, including an increase in the effective d33* (350 pm/V) was observed. This transition in the electromechanical properties is consistent with changes observed in the phase equilibria for this solid solution. The crystal structure transitions from tetragonal symmetry for x = 0.00, to pseudocubic symmetry for the relaxor compositions (x = 0.05), and finally to a lower symmetry perovskite phase for the re-entrant FE phase (x> 0.05). This composition-induced transition from FE to relaxor to a re-entrant FE state in the (1 - x)[Bi-1/2(Na1/2K1/2)(1/2)TiO3]-xPbZrO(3) system is unusual among relaxor FE systems and thus is of great scientific and technological interest.
