Abstract

Piezoceramics (K_0.5Na_0.5)_0.94-3xLi_0.06La_xNb_0.95Ta_0.05O₃ (KNLNT-La_x) were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction process. The effects of (La,Ta)-doping on the phase structure and electrical properties of (KNLNT-La_x) ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystal structure of the ceramics with high level of La-doping possessed pseudo-cubic phase and the pseudo-cubic phase structure of the ceramics seriously weakened the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics. In addition, it was found that the ceramics with (La,Ta)-doping displayed a relative lower loss tangent (tand) from room temperature to approximately 350°C.
