Influence of niobium substitution on structural and opto-electrical properties of BNKT piezoelectric ceramics

Lead free niobium modified piezoelectric ceramics Bi0.5Na0.25K0.25NbxTi1-xO3 (BNKT) (x = 0.0, 0.015 and 0.025) compositions along with their structural and opto-electrical properties are investigated. At room temperature Rietveld refinement analysis on x-ray diffraction data revealed the evidence of tetragonal (P4mm) + cubic (Pm3m) mixed phases at 0.015Nb-BNKT composition and at higher niobium concentration it moves towards cubic phase. Presence of local disorder controls the Raman active vibrational modes along with excitation and emission spectra in these materials. The temperature dependence dielectric constant is investigated in the frequency range of 1 kHz–100 kHz. The broadening of dielectric peak and frequency dependence behavior indicated a relaxor property in these materials. Induced A-site vacancies and coexistence of tetragonal-pseudocubic phases lower the depolarization temperature (Td) with niobium concentration. The structural mix phases have been correlated with the piezoelectric coefficients and the composition x = 0.015 depicts the better piezoelectric properties amongst the studied compositions which is endorsed to the mixed symmetry of tetragonal and cubic phases.
