Popis: The microstructure, physical, dielectric and the piezoelectric characteristics of the (K0.5Na0.5) (Nb0.9Ta0.1) O3 (KNNT) ceramics as a function of the sintering temperature and Nd2O3 dopant were inspected in this work. It was found that the sintering temperature has a significant impact on the above-mentioned properties. In the same context, the addition of HYPERLINK "https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Neodymium_oxide" neodymium oxide led to remarkable improvement in the microstructure, density, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of KNNT ceramics when compared to undoped ceramics.
