Abstract
  • Lead-free ceramics of composition Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃-(Bi₁/₂K₁/₂)TiO₃-(Bi₁/₂Na₁/₂)TiO₃ were prepared using solid state synthesis techniques. The dielectric spectra showed a Tmax of more than 320 °C for all compositions, and the transitions became increasingly diffuse as the Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ content increased. A lower temperature transition, indicating a transformation from an ergodic to a non-ergodic relaxor state, was also seen for all compositions, and this transition temperature decreased as the mole fraction of Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ increased. The composition with 1% Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ showed characteristic ferroelectric-like polarization and strain hysteresis. However, compositions with increased Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ content became increasingly ergodic at room temperature with pinched polarization loops and no negative strain. Among these compositions, the magnitude of d₃₃* increased with Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ content, and the composition with 10% Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ exhibited a d₃₃* of 422 pm/V. Fatigue measurements were conducted on all compositions and while the 1% Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ composition exhibited a measurable, but small loss in maximum strain after a million cycles; all the other compositions from 2.5% to 10% Bi(Mg₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ were essentially fatigue-free. Lastly, optical and alternating current impedance measurements were employed to identify intrinsic conduction as the dominant conduction mechanism. These compositions were also highly insulating with high resistivities (~10⁷ Ω-cm) at high temperatures (440 °C).
