Abstract

The high strain response of {001} oriented Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃-7BaTiO₃-2K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃ is ascribed to a pseudocubic to tetragonal electric-field-induced phase transformation. Using in situ electric field dependent X-ray diffraction the macroscopic strain response can be reconstructed from the observed peak shift and peak bifurcation due to phase transformation. A volume averaging of the lattice strain of Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃-7BaTiO₃-2K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃ estimates a maximum macroscopic strain response of 0.65% compared to 0.48% from macroscopic measurements.
