Abstract :
The study of the Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-K 0.5Bi0.5TiO3, Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-PbTiO3 and K 0.5Bi0.5TiO3-PbTiO3 systems was carried our using X-ray diffraction, DSC and dielectric measurements. The limits of the rhombohedral (Na0.5Bi0.5 TiO3-rich side) and orthorhombic (K0.5Bi0.5TiO3, and PbTiO3-rich side) solid solutions were determined, as well as the evolutions of their lattice parameters as a function of composition. Ceramic materials have been prepared by natural sintering (1090-1220°C/0.5 h) of powders obtained by solid state reaction (900-1000°C/20 h) of the corresponding oxides and carbonates. The dielectric permittivities of these materials have been measured in a wide frequency range between 20 and 800°C. The results showed that they all are ferroelectric at room temperature and some of them exhibit a relaxer-type behaviour. Several specular compositions showed the best piezoelectric characteristics for this type of ceramic materials
