Abstract

New morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) piezoelectrics, with ferroelectric phase transition (Tc) exceeding that of PbZrO3-PbTiO3 (PZT), were investigated. Based on a perovskite tolerance factor-Tc relationship, new high Tc MPB systems were projected in the Bi(Me)O3-PbTiO3 system, where Me is a relatively large B+3-site cation. For the (1 - x)BiScO3-(x)PbTiO3 solid solution, a MPB was found at x-0.64 separating the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases, with correspondingly enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. A transition temperature Tc of ∼ 450°C was determined with evidence of Tc's on the order of ≥ 600°C in the BiInO3 and BiYbO3 analogues, though issues of perovsk stability remain for the smaller tolerance end-member systems.
