▼ [10p-M116-10] Development of BaTiO3-Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3-BiFeO3 ceramics by various ceramic processing for enhanced piezoelectric properties
Keywords:BT-BF based piezoelectric ceramics
The BaTiO3-Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3-BiFeO3 ceramic is the one of the new candidates for replacing lead-based piezoelectric ceramics, because of their high Curie Temperature (TC). During processing, however, the presence of defects may form defect complexes which pin domain walls and thus decrease ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. In this work, Mn-added 0.3BaTiO3-0.1Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3-0.6BiFeO3 (0.3BT-0.1BMT-0.6BF) ceramics were investigated by various ceramic processing such as annealing and quenching processes, and A-site non-stoichiometry compositions for enhanced ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties.
