Substitutional Effects on the Electromechanical Properties of Lead-free, Piezoelectric (Na₀.₅Bi₀.₅)TiO₃-BaTiO₃ (NBT-BT)

Creator:

McQuade, Ryan R.

Abstract:

This work investigates the effect of cation substitution on the properties of the lead-free, solid solution (Na₀.₅Bi₀.₅)TiO₃-BaTiO₃ (NBT-BT). Substitution into NBT-BT increases disorder and increases the relaxor ferroelectric properties. These relaxor ferroelectric materials show large piezoelectric strains that can be utilized in actuator applications. Ceramic samples were prepared using standard...
