Compositional induced structural phase transitions in (1 - x)(K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃-x(Ba_0.5Sr_0.5)TiO₃ ferroelectric solid solutions.

ABSTRACT: Ferroelectric materials exhibiting switchable and spontaneous polarization have strong potential to be utilized in various novel electronic devices. Solid solutions of different perovskite structures induce the coexistence of various phases and enhance the physical functionalities around the phase coexistence region. The construction of phase diagrams is important as they describe the material properties, which are linked to the underpinning physics determining the system. Here we present the phase diagram of (K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃)-(Ba_0.5Sr_0.5TiO₃) (KNN-BST) system as a function of composition and their associated physical properties. Lead-free (1 - x)KNN-xBST (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) solid solution ceramics were synthesized by conventional s
