Study of temperature-induced structural evolution in (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3- (K0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 lead-free ceramics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this work, the temperature-induced structural evolution in 0.79(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-0.2(K0.5Bi0.5)TiO3- 0.01(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (NKBNT) lead-free ceramics was investigated by Raman microscopic spectroscopy combined with electrical macroscopic measurements. The NKBNT ceramics possess the local structure with the coexisted rhombohedral R3c and tetragonal P4bm polar-nano-regions (PNRs). The R3c and P4bm PNRs coexist in a wide temperature range, then the local structure transforms to the P4bm PNRs around the temperature of dielectric maximum (Tm) evidenced by the doublet splitting of Ti-O modes (peak B) and oxygen octahedral vibrational modes (peak C). The discontinuous changes of wavenumber and linewidth of peak B2 and peak C3 as well as the dielectric local maxima around the rhombohedral-tetragonal phase transition temperature (TRT) are considered to result from the thermal evolution of R3c and P4bm PNRs. The macroscopic changes of non-polar phase with electric field and temperature were investigated by the temperature-dependent polarization-electric field (P-E) loops, current-electric field (I-E) loops and bipolar strain (S-E) curves. The electric-field level necessary to form the long-range ferroelectric order from non-polar phase associated with the stability of the induced ferroelectric phase depends strongly on the temperature.
