Abstract

Lead-free 0.96[Bi1/2(Na0.84K0.16) 1/2(Ti(1-x)Nbx)O3]-0.04SrTiO 3 (BNKTN-ST, with x = 0-0.030) ceramics were synthesized by a conventional solidstate reaction technique. Polarization and strain hysteresis loops indicated a significant disruption of ferroelectric order accompanied by an enhanced field-induced strain (S = 0.438%) with a high normalized strain Smax/Emax of 876pm/Vat 5kV/mm. Their reproducibility was confirmed by the fabrication of a 10-layered stack-type multilayer actuator, which demonstrated a normalized strain Smax/Emax of 720pm/V.
