Annealing-Dependent Morphotropic Phase Boundary in the BiMg0.5Ti0.5O3-BiZn0.5Ti0.5O3 Perovskite System

resumo

The annealing behavior of (1-x)BiMg0.5Ti0.5O3-xBiZn(0.5)Ti(0.5)O(3) [(1-x)BMT-xBZT] perovskite solid solutions synthesized under high pressure was studied in situ via X-ray diffraction and piezoresponse force microscopy. The as prepared ceramics show a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between the non-polar orthorhombic and ferroelectric tetragonal states at 75 mol. % BZT. It is shown that annealing above 573 K results in irreversible changes in the phase diagram. Namely, for compositions with 0.2 < x < 0.6, the initial orthorhombic phase transforms into a ferroelectric rhombohedral phase. The new MPB between the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases lies at a lower BZT content of 60 mol. %. The phase diagram of the BMT-BZT annealed ceramics is formally analogous to that of the commercial piezoelectric material lead zirconate titanate. This makes the BMT-BZT system promising for the development of environmentally friendly piezoelectric ceramics.
