Abstract
Binary solid solution of gallium (Ga3+)-modified 0.65Bi1.05FeO3–0.35BaTiO3 (BFGO–BTO with 0–2 mol% Ga3+ content) ceramics were synthesized by a solid-state reaction method, followed by water quenching process. The effects of Ga3+ modifications on the crystal structure, microstructure, dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of the BFO–BTO ceramics were studied. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed a single perovskite phase without any secondary phases. Improvements of ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were obtained at the optimum composition of BFGO–BTO system. Meanwhile, BFGO–BTO ceramics had a high static piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of 128 pC/N at 1.5 mol% Ga3+-content with relatively high operating temperature compared to other lead-free bismuth (Bi)-based systems.
