Abstract

Abstract: The effects of Li substitution on the crystal structure and the strain properties of Bi<subscript>0.5</subscript>-(Na<subscript>0.82</subscript>K<subscript>0.18</subscript>)<subscript>0.5</subscript>(Ti<subscript>0.95</subscript>Sn<subscript>0.05</subscript>)O<subscript>3</subscript> ceramics have been investigated. Li substitution enhanced the grain growth and densification, as well as the electric-field-induced strain (EFIS). Without Li substitution, the EFIS was 0.31% under a dc field of 6 kV/mm. However, the EFIS was enhanced to 0.39% when 4 mol% Na was replaced with Li, resulting in a normalized strain (S <subscript> max </subscript>/E <subscript> max </subscript>) of 646 pm/V. The enhanced strain could be attributed to the increased flexibility in the lattice caused by simultaneous substitutions with both A-site Li ions and B-site Sn ions.
