Resumo

The phase transitional behavior and composition-dependent piezoelectric properties of (NaK)(NbSb)O3–LiTaO3–BaZrO3 (NKNS–LT–BZ) pseudo-ternary system were investigated. A composition–temperature phase diagram was generalized within a certain range of BZ content in which a rhombohedral–tetragonal (R–T ) ferroelectric phase boundary connecting orthorhombic and cubic phase zones is formed near room temperature between two trifurcate points. Piezoelectric and electromechanical properties of NKNS–LT–BZ ceramics exhibit optimum values of d33=365 pC/N and kp=45% in the vicinity of the R–T phase coexistence zone. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties and the phase transition of NKNS–LT–BZ ceramics were discussed from a crystallographic point of view.
