Abstract
Bismuth sodium titanate (Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3), BNT, with a small amount of additives including La, Sm, Nd, and Nb were prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. Powders of all compositions were calcined at 800 °C for 2 hrs to form a pure perovskite phase. All specimens were sintered at 1150 °C for 2 hrs to achieve at least 95% theoretical densities. Samples of the BNT with La modification exhibited a dielectric permittivity of 515, electromechanical coupling factors kt of 45% and kp of 13%, and a piezoelectric charge coefficient d33 of 100. The properties of the La-modified BNT suggest that these compositions are potential candidates for hydrophone applications.
