Abstract

A new ternary system (1 - x)BiScO3-x{(1-y)PbTiO3-y (Ba0.294Sr0.706)TiO3} was studied in relation to morphotropic phase boundaries (MPB). Analogous to modified PZT ceramics, barium and strontium were introduced to the recently developed MPB (1 - x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 for x > 0.60, in order to investigate Curie temperature and piezoelectric property variations. With increasing barium and strontium substitution up to y = 0.3, the MPB line moved from x = 0.64 to 0.70 and d33 and kp gradually decreased. X-ray diffraction phase analysis correlated the variations in piezoelectric properties showing a maximum in the compositions near rhombohedral-tetragonal phase boundary. Grain sizes were around 2 μm for all compositions and tetragonality decreased with the downward shifting of Tc in the range of 216-371°C. The frequency dependence of dielectric properties about the Curie maximum shows a dispersion in both ε′ and tan δ. This relaxation behavior becomes more pronounced with increasing (Ba,Sr)TiO 3 content, and high Curie maximum temperatures Tmax's are found compared to lead based perovskites with complex B-sites.
