Ultra-low hysteresis electric field-induced strain with high electrostrictive coefficient in lead-free Ba(Zr Ti1-)O3 ferroelectrics
摘要： From the application point of view, high electric field-induced strain with ultra-low hysteresis or hysteresis-free characteristic is highly desired in high-precision displacement actuators. In this work, lead-free Ba(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (BZT) ferroelectrics with x in the range between 0.02 and 0.1 were fabricated by a conventional solid state reaction method. The structural evolution and electrical properties were investigated systematically with an emphasis on electrostrictive effect. As x increases from 0.02 to 0.1, the crystal lattice parameters (a and c axes) increase while the tetragonality (c/a-1) goes down. In addition, the Curie temperature (TC) of BZT decreases gradually, while the temperatures corresponding to tetragonal-to-orthorhombic (T-O) and orthorhombic-to-rhombohedral (O-R) phase transitions increase. Ultra-low hysteresis (<8%) and high electric field-induced strains (>0.15% at 60 kV/cm) are observed in all studied compositions. Most importantly, a high longitudinal electrostrictive coefficient Q33 (0.0453 m4/C2) was also identified in x=0.1 composition. This work not only reports high electric field-induced strains with ultra-low hysteresis and high Q33 in lead-free BZT ferroelectrics, but also indicates a potential application for BZT ceramics in high-precision displacement actuators.

Evolution of ferroelectric and piezoelectric response by heat treatment in pseudocubic BiFeO3–BaTiO3 ceramics
摘要： Heat treatment of ceramics is an important process to tailor the fine electromechanical properties. To explore the criteria for optimized heat treatment in a perovskite structure of (1–x)Bi1.05FeO3–xBaTiO3 (BF–BT100x) system, the structural phase relation, ferroelectric and piezoelectric response of BF–BT36 and BF–BT40 ceramics prepared by furnace cooling (FC) and quenching process were investigated. The X-ray diffraction examination showed single pseudocubic perovskite structure for all the ceramics. The homogenous microstructure was obtained for all ceramics with relatively large grain size in the furnace cooled samples. Well saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loops and enhanced piezoelectric constant (d33 = 97 pC/N) were achieved by quenching process. Dielectric curve of BF–BT36 showed large dielectric constant at its Curie temperature, however, BF–BT40 showed diffused relaxor-like dielectric anomalies. Quenched BF–BT36 samples showed typical butterfly like field induced strain curves, however negative strain decreased in BF–BT40 ceramics. From these investigated study, it is observed that BF–BT ceramics are very sensitive to the heat treatment process (furnace cooling and quenching) on the dielectric, electromechanical properties.
