(1-x)[0.5Pb(Mg0.33Nb0.67)O₃-0.5Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O₃]-x[Pb0.557Ba0.38La0.022Bi0.02Nb₂O₆] with both perovskite and tungsten bronze
structured composite have been synthesized through mechanical activation technique. The strong influence of lanthanum
addition to the lead-barium-bismuth-niobate (xPBLBiN) ceramics in perovskite structured (1-x)PMN-PZT on structural and
functional properties is confirmed. X-ray diffraction patterns studies showed that these complex composites consisted of
perovskite Cubic with tungsten bronze Orthorhombic phases. La modification in PBBiN of a ternary system (1-x)PMN-PZTxPBBiN
revealed intensified orthorhombicity. As La increased the dielectric and piezoelectric properties tremendously increased
in (1-x)PMN-PZT-xPBLBiN nanoceramic composite. The optimum dielectric and piezoelectric properties (εRT = 2931,
kp = 0.461 and d₃₃ = 428 pC/N) were found in x =0.4 composite. We achieved novel nanocomposites synthesized by high
energy ball milling method and having binary structures in a single composite with excellent functional properties that can
be used for energy harvesting applications. |
