Abstract:The cerium doped 0.9Bi4Ti3O12-0.1K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (BTO-KNN) piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized using conventional solid state processing. The effects of CeO2 doping on the microstructure and the electrical properties of BTO-KNN ceramics were investigated. It is found that the ceramics possess a pure phase of bismuth oxide layer-type structure. The piezoelectric properties of BTO-KNN-based ceramics are significantly improved after cerium doping. The piezoelectric constant d33, dielectric loss tan δ, mechanica… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
