Description
Summary:Ternary piezoelectric ceramics Pb(In[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text])O3–Pb(Mg[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text])O3–PbTiO3 (PIN–PMN–PT) exhibit excellent temperature stability and hold great potential for high-frequency and high-power applications. However, its piezoelectric performance is much lower than that of the famous binary Pb(Mg[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text])O3–PbTiO3 (PMN–PT) system. In this work, high-performance 15PIN–50PMN–35PT piezoceramics with piezoelectric coefficient [Formula: see text] of 700 pC/N, electromechanical coupling coefficient [Formula: see text] of 66% and high Curie temperature [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]C were fabricated. Effect of Samarium (Sm) doping content on the ferroelectric, dielectric, electromechanical and piezoelectric properties and structures of 15PIN–50PMN–35PT piezoelectric ceramics were investigated, and results reveal that increasing the amount of Sm doping leads to a significant decrease of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and other properties. This phenomenon is different from the previously reported results in Sm-doped binary PMN–PT ceramics. The room temperature and variable temperature phase structure and room temperature microstructure were studied to explain this phenomenon.
