摘要

This study investigated the effects of Li and La doping on microstructures, crystal structures, phase transition behaviors, and electromechanical strain properties of Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3 (BNT) relaxor. Li-doped BNT ceramics exhibited a strong ferroelectricity that is related to oxygen vacancies based on Li+ ions as A-site acceptor of BNT ceramics. On the other hand, La doping induced a nonergodic relaxor (NER) to ergodic relaxor (ER) transition of BNT ceramics, which was originated from declined oxygen vacancies with doping La3+ ions as donor. In the case of Li doping, a ferroelectric (FE) to relaxor (RE) phase transition temperature (TF-R) was detected around 160 °C, which was not much different from the undoped BNT ceramics. In contrast, the stabilization of ER with vanishing TF-R in BNT ceramics was detected by 3 mol% La doping. Accordingly, it was successfully demonstrated that the phase transition behavior of BNT ceramics can be strongly related to the oxygen vacancies.
