ABSTRACT
The crystal structure and electromechanical properties of a novel lead-free (1–z) (0.67Bi1.05FeO3–0.33BaTiO3)–zBi(Mg0.5Zr0.5)O3 (BFBT–BMZ100z, with z = 0.00–0.10) ceramic were studied using a mixed oxide method. The addition of BMZ to the BF-BT host system had no significant influence on the crystal structure. The dielectric constant was reduced when BMZ was incorporated, and the dielectric curves became more dispersed. Forz = 0.060 composition, increased electric field-induced strain was attained with dynamic piezoelectric constant Smax/Emax = d*33 = 315 pm/V at 4 kV/mm. This sample (z = 0.060) also has a high Curie temperature of TC = 420 °C. The developed system's observed features suggest that it could be useful for high-temperature piezoelectric devices.
