Abstract

Lead-free piezoelectric (1-x)(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-xSrTiO3 ((1-x)NKN- xST) solid solution has been fabricated around a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) by Spark-Plasma-Sintering method. The phase diagram around MPB was studied by the dielectric measurement. The piezoelectric constant d33 and electromechanical constant kp measurements shows that MPB is about at x = 0.05. Inverse dielectric constants are well fitted by the extended Curie-Weiss law above the Curie temperature and its fitting result shows that the fitting parameters, C and n values show the maxima for 0.95NKN-0.05ST. We suggest the existence of another phase boundary around x = 0.05. To confirm the another phase boundary, the Raman spectra of 0.975NKN-0.025ST and 0.9NKN-0.1ST samples at the tetragonal phases have been measured and comparison has been done.
