Abstract:
The controversy about the optimum poling conditions of (K,Na)NbO3 (KNN)-based lead-free ceramics was still unresolved and the relationships between poling characteristics and phase boundary types were rarely mentioned. Here, we tried to unveil the relationships between poling characteristics and phase boundary types of these ceramics. The optimum poling temperatures should be chosen near their corresponding phase transition temperatures. In addition, a large piezoelectricity can be attained in the ceramics with a multiphase coexistence under a lower poling electric field (
