Popis: The structure, microstructure, field-induced strain, ferroelectric, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of (1 − x) (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.935Ba0.065TiO3–xSr3CuNb2O9 (BNT-BT6.5–xSCN, with x = 0, 0.003, 0.006, 0.009) ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all samples are pure perovskite structure and Sr3CuNb2O9 (SCN) effectively diffused into the 0.935Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–0.065BaTiO3 (BNT–BT6.5) solid solution which also reflected in the Raman spectra and the energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. With the increases of SCN content, the coercive field (E c = 18.41 kV/cm) decreases greatly, whereas the remnant polarization (P r = 29.11 μC/cm2) increases a little at x = 0.003 which is showed in the polarization hysteresis (P–E) loops, the result indicate that the ferroelectric order would be disrupted. Around critical composition (x = 0.003) at a driving field of 60 kV/cm, a large unipolar strain of 0.29 % with a normalized strain (d 33 = 483 pm/V) is obtained at room temperature. The results indicate that BNT-BT6.5-xSCN ceramics with excellent properties are promising to replace lead-based piezoelectric ceramics and can be used in practical applications.
