Popis: Dense, lead-free ceramics with composition of (K0.5Na0.5)0.96Sr0.02Nb1–xMnxO3 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) were successfully prepared by a conventional mixed-oxide method. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed pure peroveskite structure after Mn doping as compared to the original composition. This was attributed to the inhibition of K+ volatility during the sintering process. A dielectric anomaly was observed and explained by a multiple-cell structure resulting from Mn-induced lattice distortion. Low loss tangent and relatively high planar electromechanical coupling factor were obtained at x = 0.02. The main parameters for the composition of x = 0.02 are: eT33/e0 = 479, d33 = 121 pC/N, Kp = 41%, Qm = 298, tan δ = 1.6%, Tc = 391 °C. The rates of resonant frequency variation, α, and planar coupling factor variation, α, with a temperature of 80 °C are –1.85% and +1.19%, respectively. This material may be suitable for applica- tions in ultrasonic transducers. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
