Abstract

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) doped with Cu, Fe, and Ni have been prepared by a conventional ceramic process. The results reveal that Cu-doped KNN ceramic exhibits double-loop-like characteristics, while Fe & Ni-doped KNN ceramics show normal single loops. EPR spectra verified the formation of irreversible defect complex (DC1) and (DC2) in Cu-doped ceramics, while defect complexes were observed in Fe-doped ceramics and very small defect complex signal in Ni-doped ceramics. The experimental results show that the ferroelectric properties of KNN ceramics are strongly related to these defect structures.
