The lead-free piezoelectric ceramics display good piezoelectric properties which are comparable with Pb(ZrTi)O3(PZT) and these
materials overcome the hazard to the environment and human healthThe Bi05(NaK)
05TiO3(BNKT) is rapidly developed because
of good piezoelectric ferroelectric and dielectric properties compared to PZT The origin of giant strain of BNKT piezoelectricmaterials was found at morphotropic phase boundary due to crystal change from tetragonal to orthorhombic andor precipitationof cubic phases in addition to domain switchingmechanismThedopants or secondary phaseswithABO

are expected to change the crystal structure and create the vacancies which results in enhancement of the piezoelectric propertiesIn this work we reviewed the current development of BNKT by dopants and secondary phase as solid solution Our discussion willfocus on role of dopants and secondary phase to piezoelectric properties of BNKTThis result will open the direction to control theproperties of lead-free piezoelectric materials
1 Introduction
The piezoelectric phenomena were discovered by Nobel lau-reates Pierre and Jacques Curie in 1880 during measurementof surface charges appearing under stress of some crystalssuch as tourmaline quartz and Rochelle salt [1] During theWorld War I Paul Langevin invented the underwater sonarfor submarine detection [1] The detecting device was fab-ricated by thin quartz crystal glued on two steel plates withresonant frequency of 50 kHzwhich could detect a submarineat the depth of 1500 meters However his achievements werenot overlooked by any industrial nation During World WarII the huge dielectric constants of piezoelectric ceramicsmaterials were isolatedly discovered in the United StatesJapan and the Soviet Union by researching the materialsto improve capacitor of devices [1] The discovery of easilymanufactured piezoelectric ceramics with astonishing per-formance characteristics naturally touched off a revival of
intense research and development into piezoelectric deviceswhich led to their widespread applications Among thembarium titanate (BaTiO
3) ceramic was discovered with the
giant dielectric constant of 1100 ten times higher than thatof rutile TiO
2 the highest value at that time [2] The first
commercial device made from BaTiO3was a phonograph
pickup and was produced in 1947 [2]The productions whichused the piezoelectricmaterials were rapidly developed in thelate 1950s because a number of other piezoelectric ceramicswere found in particular lead niobate piezoelectric ceramicswere discovered in 1952 and lead zirconate titanate (PZT)compositions were found in 1955 [1 2] Several piezoelectricceramics have been commonly used today such as BaTiO

the most widely exploited and extensively used piezoelectricmaterials for piezoelectric actuators sensors transducers

2 Bi05(NaK)05TiO3-Based Lead-FreePiezoelectric Materials
Among lead-free piezoelectric materials perovskite-basedtype bismuth sodium titanate Bi
05Na05TiO3(BNT) bis-
muth potassium titanate Bi05K05TiO3(BKT) and solid
solution based on these compounds seem to be considered asthe most promising materials choice [11ndash14] In the followingsection a brief introduction of these materials is given
21 Bismuth SodiumTitanate and Bismuth PotassiumTitanate
211 Bi05Na05TiO3Material BNT is one of the most impor-
tant lead-free materials discovered by Smolensky et al in1960 which has an ABO3 distorted perovskite structure [1015]The structure of BNT can be considered in two ways oneway is that the bismuth and sodium cations occupy thecorners of a cubic unit cell oxygen anions occupy the facecenters and titanium cations occupy the center of theoxygen octahedra that are formed the other way is a three-dimensional cubic network of 8 corner-sharing TiO
6octahe-
dra with bismuth and sodium cations at the center of the cubeformed by the octahedra [16] In the ABO3 perovskite struc-tureA cations localize at the corners B cations localize at thebody center and oxygen anions localize at the face centers Incase of BNT the bismuth and sodium ions are on the A-siteand titanium ions are on theB-site of the structure this is onlyto show the stoichiometry that is present in an ideal mixtureHowever the real material does not exhibit any long-rangeordering The BNT was rhombohedral structure with 119886 =398 A and 120572 = 8967∘ at room temperature [17] The BNT
undergoes three phase transitions as crystallographic struc-ture changes Pronin et al andZvirgzds et al obtained that thefirst phase transition tetragonal-cubic phase occurred at320∘C whereas the second phase transition temperature ofrhombohedral-tetragonal phase was 540∘C as they deter-mined the Curie temperature [18 19] It reveals an interestingdielectric which is anomaly with low phase-transition tem-perature (sim200∘C) from ferroelectric to antiferroelectricphase Suchanicz et al reported that the electrostrictive strainincreased upon heating when dielectric permittivity (1205761015840) grewwith maximum near 320∘C result from attribution of ferro-electric (FE)antiferroelectric (AFE) transition [20] Above320∘C the electrostriction coefficient (119876
11) was equal to
(04minus03) times 10minus2 Cminus2m4 and was typical for materials withdiffused phase transitions [20] The piezoelectric module 119889
33
was 100ndash120 pCN at 1205761015840 = 500 which belongs to [100]direction of the BNT single crystal [21] Emelyanov et alcharacterized the piezoelectric properties of (001) plane in therhombohedral BNT single crystals phase which were ofpiezoelectric coefficients (119889

102 pCN and 058 respectively and they were stronglyinfluenced by the grain size [23 24] Piezoelectric propertiesof the BNTceramics polarized by electric field of 40 kVcmat200∘C were 119896

K05TiO3Material BKTwas also first fabricated by
Smolenskii and Agranovskaya which has a perovskite typeferroelectric structure belonging to tetragonal crystal at roomtemperature [11] The BKT has been investigated much lessthan BNT because it was not easy to prepare high-denseceramics due to the fact that secondary phases such asK2Ti6O13easily formed during sintering at high temperature
even though synthesis of the compound was not difficult[10 26] BKT is a ferroelectric material with the Curie tem-perature (119879
119862) of 380∘C [27] Ivanova et al reported that BKT
has a tetragonal structure with 119886 = 3913 A and 119888 = 3993 Aat room temperature which does not show any sign of order-ing whereas a phase transition into a pseudocubic phasewas observed at about 270∘C and transition into a cubicphase was at 410∘C [28] Hiruma et al obtained the remnantpolarization 119875

than BNT its behavior is clearly indicated that it does notshow such unusual phenomena as BNT (isotropic points andldquodisappearancerdquo of phase transitions) It is clear that bothphases of BKT are ferroelectric that they both are diffusedandmost probably overlapped each otherThere is of coursea problem coexistence of a paraelectric (PE) and two ferro-electric (FE) phases within a crystal lattice In addition theBKT single phase is not easy to fabricate in high-dense struc-ture However such a problem is not new for ferroelectric

that the lattice parameters of B05Na05TiO3increased with
BKT concentration addition [12] Pronin et al indicated thatthe (1 minus 119909)Bi

rhombohedral at 119909 lt 018 pseudocubic at 119909 = 018ndash040and tetragonal at 119909 gt 040 at the room temperature [18] Onthe morphotropic phase boundary at 119909 = 018 the latticeparameters and unit cell volume change by jump [18]However Kreisel et al obtained the structural change in solidsolution (1 minus 119909)BNT-xBKT by using the Raman scatteringResults showed existence of a phase transition at 119909 between04-05 However it also indicated that the phase transition inrange 119909 = 06ndash08 due to existence of nanosize Bi3+TiO

a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) where the MPBdescribed the boundary that separates regions of differencesymmetries and can be crossed through a change in compo-sition However the MPB was not reported clearly [37]

was low at 174∘C The 119879119889

Izumi et al reported that a small amount of BKT substitutionsuppressed the remnant polarization from 38 120583Ccm2 at 119909 =0 to about 15120583Ccm2 at119909 = 002 piezoelectric strain constant(11988933) is enhanced by increasing 119909 up to 297 pmV at 119909 = 014

BNT-BKT solid solutions are interesting because of threephenomena (i) existence of two morphotropic boundaries(ii) neighborhood of the antiferroelectric (AFE) phase ofBNT and high-temperature ferroelectric (FE) phase of BNTand (iii) complicated coexistence of several phases within oneperovskite lattice because of the phase-transition diffusion

proportional to the applied field [40 41] However the effectis generally very small and thus limits its usefulness
In the search for lead-based materials with large electric-field-induced phase transition (EFIS) an alternative andapplicable approach for ceramics was reported by Uchinoet al and Pan et al based on thework of Berlicourt et al [5ndash7]They observed a large strain due to a change of the unit cell in(PbLa)(SnZrTi)O
3ceramic because of a transition from
antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase which was induced bythe electric field
Zhang et al proposed that the high strain in lead-freeBi05Na05TiO3-BaTiO
3-K05Na05NbO3
system came bothfrom a significant volume change caused by the field-inducedantiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition and from thedomain contribution caused by the induced ferroelectricphase [42 43] Jo et al suggested that origin of the large strainin (K05Na05)NbO
3-modified (Bi

3lead-
free piezoceramics is due to the presence of a nonpolar phasethat brings the system back to its unpoled state once whenthe applied electric field is removed which leads to a largenonpolar strain [44] In addition Lee et al reported that thegiant EFIS was attributed to the transition from nonpolarto ferroelectric phases in BNKT-BiAlO
3small grains with
ferroelectric BNT large grains during external electric fieldexecution [45] Recently Lee et al suggested a model on thebasis of the coexistence of polar nanoregions and a nonpolarmatrix which can reversibly transform into a polar ferro-electric phase under cyclic fields via observation of giantEFIS in Sn doped BNKT [46] Ullah et al suggested that theorigin of the large electric-field-induced giant strain is aninherently large electrostrictive strain combined with anadditional strain introduced during electric-field-inducedphase transition [47] However the origin of phase transitionfrom polar to nonpolar due to doping is unclear because theexplanation based on the distorted tolerance factor resultsfromdifference radius of dopants but the tolerance factor justestimated the phase stability and could not predict the sta-bility of structural typeThe further mechanism understatingneeds to be further investigated
(2) Domain Switching The volume regions of the materialwith the same polarization orientation are referred to asferroelectric domains [48] When the sample is under zerofield and strain-free conditions all the domain states have thesame energy but if an electric field is applied the free energyof the system is lowered by aligning the polarization alongthe electric fieldThus large applied electric fields can perma-nently reorient the polarization between the allowed domainstates which are restricted by crystallography As a resultpolycrystals random orientation can be electrically poled toproduce net piezoelectric coefficients Recently Ren pointedout that the large EFIS in ferroelectric crystals is caused bypoint-defect-mediated reversible domain switching [49] Itis noted that the defect dipoles tend to align along the sponta-neous polarization direction which was suggested by electronparamagnetic resonance experiments [50 51] and theoret-ical modeling [52 53] The domain switched and alignedby the applied electric field The defects symmetry anddefects dipolemoment cannot be rotated in such diffusionless
process resulting in restoring force or reversing internal fieldthat favored reverse domain switching when electric field isremoved However theoretical calculation indicated that theultrahigh electromechanical response in single-crystal piezo-electrics resulted from polarization rotation during polingprocessing [54]

caused difference of valence states However the tolerancefactor has only estimated the range for stability of perovskitebut it was not showed for crystal symmetries Thus theseexplanations were unreliable The mechanism of electricalfield-induced strain was not well understood which stillrequired to further investigate Consequently the roles of A-and B-site on the electrical field-induced strain were uncleartill now However we expected that the 119878max119864max valueswere further increased by using multidopant with optimalconcentration of dopants for each position A- andor B-sitein BNKT ceramics
In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials

Among lead-free piezoelectric materials perovskite-basedtype bismuth sodium titanate Bi
05Na05TiO3(BNT) bis-
muth potassium titanate Bi05K05TiO3(BKT) and solid
solution based on these compounds seem to be considered asthe most promising materials choice [11ndash14] In the followingsection a brief introduction of these materials is given
21 Bismuth SodiumTitanate and Bismuth PotassiumTitanate
211 Bi05Na05TiO3Material BNT is one of the most impor-
tant lead-free materials discovered by Smolensky et al in1960 which has an ABO3 distorted perovskite structure [1015]The structure of BNT can be considered in two ways oneway is that the bismuth and sodium cations occupy thecorners of a cubic unit cell oxygen anions occupy the facecenters and titanium cations occupy the center of theoxygen octahedra that are formed the other way is a three-dimensional cubic network of 8 corner-sharing TiO
6octahe-
dra with bismuth and sodium cations at the center of the cubeformed by the octahedra [16] In the ABO3 perovskite struc-tureA cations localize at the corners B cations localize at thebody center and oxygen anions localize at the face centers Incase of BNT the bismuth and sodium ions are on the A-siteand titanium ions are on theB-site of the structure this is onlyto show the stoichiometry that is present in an ideal mixtureHowever the real material does not exhibit any long-rangeordering The BNT was rhombohedral structure with 119886 =398 A and 120572 = 8967∘ at room temperature [17] The BNT
undergoes three phase transitions as crystallographic struc-ture changes Pronin et al andZvirgzds et al obtained that thefirst phase transition tetragonal-cubic phase occurred at320∘C whereas the second phase transition temperature ofrhombohedral-tetragonal phase was 540∘C as they deter-mined the Curie temperature [18 19] It reveals an interestingdielectric which is anomaly with low phase-transition tem-perature (sim200∘C) from ferroelectric to antiferroelectricphase Suchanicz et al reported that the electrostrictive strainincreased upon heating when dielectric permittivity (1205761015840) grewwith maximum near 320∘C result from attribution of ferro-electric (FE)antiferroelectric (AFE) transition [20] Above320∘C the electrostriction coefficient (119876
11) was equal to
(04minus03) times 10minus2 Cminus2m4 and was typical for materials withdiffused phase transitions [20] The piezoelectric module 119889
33
was 100ndash120 pCN at 1205761015840 = 500 which belongs to [100]direction of the BNT single crystal [21] Emelyanov et alcharacterized the piezoelectric properties of (001) plane in therhombohedral BNT single crystals phase which were ofpiezoelectric coefficients (119889

119888) of BNT single crystal
are 38 120583Ccm2 and 73 kVcm respectively [10] Zhao et alreported that the values of 119889
33and coupling factor (119896
119905) were
102 pCN and 058 respectively and they were stronglyinfluenced by the grain size [23 24] Piezoelectric propertiesof the BNTceramics polarized by electric field of 40 kVcmat200∘C were 119896

K05TiO3Material BKTwas also first fabricated by
Smolenskii and Agranovskaya which has a perovskite typeferroelectric structure belonging to tetragonal crystal at roomtemperature [11] The BKT has been investigated much lessthan BNT because it was not easy to prepare high-denseceramics due to the fact that secondary phases such asK2Ti6O13easily formed during sintering at high temperature
even though synthesis of the compound was not difficult[10 26] BKT is a ferroelectric material with the Curie tem-perature (119879
119862) of 380∘C [27] Ivanova et al reported that BKT
has a tetragonal structure with 119886 = 3913 A and 119888 = 3993 Aat room temperature which does not show any sign of order-ing whereas a phase transition into a pseudocubic phasewas observed at about 270∘C and transition into a cubicphase was at 410∘C [28] Hiruma et al obtained the remnantpolarization 119875

than BNT its behavior is clearly indicated that it does notshow such unusual phenomena as BNT (isotropic points andldquodisappearancerdquo of phase transitions) It is clear that bothphases of BKT are ferroelectric that they both are diffusedandmost probably overlapped each otherThere is of coursea problem coexistence of a paraelectric (PE) and two ferro-electric (FE) phases within a crystal lattice In addition theBKT single phase is not easy to fabricate in high-dense struc-ture However such a problem is not new for ferroelectric

solutionThen the sol was heated to get dried gels Finally thedried gels were calcined and annealed to remove the organicingredients and to promote crystallization respectively Inaddition the BNKT thin films and nanofibers were alsofabricated by a sol-gel method and electrospinning techniqueas reported by Chen et al [34] After preparing the sol thethin films and nanofibers were prepared on PtTiSiO

substrate by spin coating and electrospinning respectivelyThe Li-doped BNKT thin films have been grown by pulsedlaser deposition (PLD) using a krypton fluoride (KrF)excimer laser with a wavelength of 248 nm [35]

that the lattice parameters of B05Na05TiO3increased with
BKT concentration addition [12] Pronin et al indicated thatthe (1 minus 119909)Bi

a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) where the MPBdescribed the boundary that separates regions of differencesymmetries and can be crossed through a change in compo-sition However the MPB was not reported clearly [37]

05Na05TiO3-
xBi05K05TiO3solid solution was found to go through a

which was observed on the first morphotropic boundary [14]Elkechai et al obtained 119889

119889

was low at 174∘C The 119879119889
ofthe MPB composition was low and the 119879
119889near the MPB
composition was sharply decreased It is thought thatBi05(Na07K03)05TiO3is a candidate composition for lead-

and high depolarization temperature 119879119889of 206∘C Recently
Izumi et al reported that a small amount of BKT substitutionsuppressed the remnant polarization from 38 120583Ccm2 at 119909 =0 to about 15120583Ccm2 at119909 = 002 piezoelectric strain constant(11988933) is enhanced by increasing 119909 up to 297 pmV at 119909 = 014
during studying the (1 minus 119909)BNT-xBKT single crystals (0 lt119909 lt 014) [31]
BNT-BKT solid solutions are interesting because of threephenomena (i) existence of two morphotropic boundaries(ii) neighborhood of the antiferroelectric (AFE) phase ofBNT and high-temperature ferroelectric (FE) phase of BNTand (iii) complicated coexistence of several phases within oneperovskite lattice because of the phase-transition diffusion

proportional to the applied field [40 41] However the effectis generally very small and thus limits its usefulness
In the search for lead-based materials with large electric-field-induced phase transition (EFIS) an alternative andapplicable approach for ceramics was reported by Uchinoet al and Pan et al based on thework of Berlicourt et al [5ndash7]They observed a large strain due to a change of the unit cell in(PbLa)(SnZrTi)O
3ceramic because of a transition from
antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase which was induced bythe electric field
Zhang et al proposed that the high strain in lead-freeBi05Na05TiO3-BaTiO
3-K05Na05NbO3
system came bothfrom a significant volume change caused by the field-inducedantiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition and from thedomain contribution caused by the induced ferroelectricphase [42 43] Jo et al suggested that origin of the large strainin (K05Na05)NbO
3-modified (Bi

3lead-
free piezoceramics is due to the presence of a nonpolar phasethat brings the system back to its unpoled state once whenthe applied electric field is removed which leads to a largenonpolar strain [44] In addition Lee et al reported that thegiant EFIS was attributed to the transition from nonpolarto ferroelectric phases in BNKT-BiAlO
3small grains with
ferroelectric BNT large grains during external electric fieldexecution [45] Recently Lee et al suggested a model on thebasis of the coexistence of polar nanoregions and a nonpolarmatrix which can reversibly transform into a polar ferro-electric phase under cyclic fields via observation of giantEFIS in Sn doped BNKT [46] Ullah et al suggested that theorigin of the large electric-field-induced giant strain is aninherently large electrostrictive strain combined with anadditional strain introduced during electric-field-inducedphase transition [47] However the origin of phase transitionfrom polar to nonpolar due to doping is unclear because theexplanation based on the distorted tolerance factor resultsfromdifference radius of dopants but the tolerance factor justestimated the phase stability and could not predict the sta-bility of structural typeThe further mechanism understatingneeds to be further investigated
(2) Domain Switching The volume regions of the materialwith the same polarization orientation are referred to asferroelectric domains [48] When the sample is under zerofield and strain-free conditions all the domain states have thesame energy but if an electric field is applied the free energyof the system is lowered by aligning the polarization alongthe electric fieldThus large applied electric fields can perma-nently reorient the polarization between the allowed domainstates which are restricted by crystallography As a resultpolycrystals random orientation can be electrically poled toproduce net piezoelectric coefficients Recently Ren pointedout that the large EFIS in ferroelectric crystals is caused bypoint-defect-mediated reversible domain switching [49] Itis noted that the defect dipoles tend to align along the sponta-neous polarization direction which was suggested by electronparamagnetic resonance experiments [50 51] and theoret-ical modeling [52 53] The domain switched and alignedby the applied electric field The defects symmetry anddefects dipolemoment cannot be rotated in such diffusionless
process resulting in restoring force or reversing internal fieldthat favored reverse domain switching when electric field isremoved However theoretical calculation indicated that theultrahigh electromechanical response in single-crystal piezo-electrics resulted from polarization rotation during polingprocessing [54]

caused difference of valence states However the tolerancefactor has only estimated the range for stability of perovskitebut it was not showed for crystal symmetries Thus theseexplanations were unreliable The mechanism of electricalfield-induced strain was not well understood which stillrequired to further investigate Consequently the roles of A-and B-site on the electrical field-induced strain were uncleartill now However we expected that the 119878max119864max valueswere further increased by using multidopant with optimalconcentration of dopants for each position A- andor B-sitein BNKT ceramics
In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials

solutionThen the sol was heated to get dried gels Finally thedried gels were calcined and annealed to remove the organicingredients and to promote crystallization respectively Inaddition the BNKT thin films and nanofibers were alsofabricated by a sol-gel method and electrospinning techniqueas reported by Chen et al [34] After preparing the sol thethin films and nanofibers were prepared on PtTiSiO

substrate by spin coating and electrospinning respectivelyThe Li-doped BNKT thin films have been grown by pulsedlaser deposition (PLD) using a krypton fluoride (KrF)excimer laser with a wavelength of 248 nm [35]

a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) where the MPBdescribed the boundary that separates regions of differencesymmetries and can be crossed through a change in compo-sition However the MPB was not reported clearly [37]

was low at 174∘C The 119879119889
ofthe MPB composition was low and the 119879

Izumi et al reported that a small amount of BKT substitutionsuppressed the remnant polarization from 38 120583Ccm2 at 119909 =0 to about 15120583Ccm2 at119909 = 002 piezoelectric strain constant(11988933) is enhanced by increasing 119909 up to 297 pmV at 119909 = 014

BNT-BKT solid solutions are interesting because of threephenomena (i) existence of two morphotropic boundaries(ii) neighborhood of the antiferroelectric (AFE) phase ofBNT and high-temperature ferroelectric (FE) phase of BNTand (iii) complicated coexistence of several phases within oneperovskite lattice because of the phase-transition diffusion

proportional to the applied field [40 41] However the effectis generally very small and thus limits its usefulness
In the search for lead-based materials with large electric-field-induced phase transition (EFIS) an alternative andapplicable approach for ceramics was reported by Uchinoet al and Pan et al based on thework of Berlicourt et al [5ndash7]They observed a large strain due to a change of the unit cell in(PbLa)(SnZrTi)O
3ceramic because of a transition from
antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase which was induced bythe electric field
Zhang et al proposed that the high strain in lead-freeBi05Na05TiO3-BaTiO
3-K05Na05NbO3
system came bothfrom a significant volume change caused by the field-inducedantiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition and from thedomain contribution caused by the induced ferroelectricphase [42 43] Jo et al suggested that origin of the large strainin (K05Na05)NbO
3-modified (Bi

3lead-
free piezoceramics is due to the presence of a nonpolar phasethat brings the system back to its unpoled state once whenthe applied electric field is removed which leads to a largenonpolar strain [44] In addition Lee et al reported that thegiant EFIS was attributed to the transition from nonpolarto ferroelectric phases in BNKT-BiAlO
3small grains with
ferroelectric BNT large grains during external electric fieldexecution [45] Recently Lee et al suggested a model on thebasis of the coexistence of polar nanoregions and a nonpolarmatrix which can reversibly transform into a polar ferro-electric phase under cyclic fields via observation of giantEFIS in Sn doped BNKT [46] Ullah et al suggested that theorigin of the large electric-field-induced giant strain is aninherently large electrostrictive strain combined with anadditional strain introduced during electric-field-inducedphase transition [47] However the origin of phase transitionfrom polar to nonpolar due to doping is unclear because theexplanation based on the distorted tolerance factor resultsfromdifference radius of dopants but the tolerance factor justestimated the phase stability and could not predict the sta-bility of structural typeThe further mechanism understatingneeds to be further investigated
(2) Domain Switching The volume regions of the materialwith the same polarization orientation are referred to asferroelectric domains [48] When the sample is under zerofield and strain-free conditions all the domain states have thesame energy but if an electric field is applied the free energyof the system is lowered by aligning the polarization alongthe electric fieldThus large applied electric fields can perma-nently reorient the polarization between the allowed domainstates which are restricted by crystallography As a resultpolycrystals random orientation can be electrically poled toproduce net piezoelectric coefficients Recently Ren pointedout that the large EFIS in ferroelectric crystals is caused bypoint-defect-mediated reversible domain switching [49] Itis noted that the defect dipoles tend to align along the sponta-neous polarization direction which was suggested by electronparamagnetic resonance experiments [50 51] and theoret-ical modeling [52 53] The domain switched and alignedby the applied electric field The defects symmetry anddefects dipolemoment cannot be rotated in such diffusionless
process resulting in restoring force or reversing internal fieldthat favored reverse domain switching when electric field isremoved However theoretical calculation indicated that theultrahigh electromechanical response in single-crystal piezo-electrics resulted from polarization rotation during polingprocessing [54]

caused difference of valence states However the tolerancefactor has only estimated the range for stability of perovskitebut it was not showed for crystal symmetries Thus theseexplanations were unreliable The mechanism of electricalfield-induced strain was not well understood which stillrequired to further investigate Consequently the roles of A-and B-site on the electrical field-induced strain were uncleartill now However we expected that the 119878max119864max valueswere further increased by using multidopant with optimalconcentration of dopants for each position A- andor B-sitein BNKT ceramics
In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials

proportional to the applied field [40 41] However the effectis generally very small and thus limits its usefulness
In the search for lead-based materials with large electric-field-induced phase transition (EFIS) an alternative andapplicable approach for ceramics was reported by Uchinoet al and Pan et al based on thework of Berlicourt et al [5ndash7]They observed a large strain due to a change of the unit cell in(PbLa)(SnZrTi)O
3ceramic because of a transition from
antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase which was induced bythe electric field
Zhang et al proposed that the high strain in lead-freeBi05Na05TiO3-BaTiO
3-K05Na05NbO3
system came bothfrom a significant volume change caused by the field-inducedantiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition and from thedomain contribution caused by the induced ferroelectricphase [42 43] Jo et al suggested that origin of the large strainin (K05Na05)NbO
3-modified (Bi
05Na05)TiO3-BaTiO
3lead-
free piezoceramics is due to the presence of a nonpolar phasethat brings the system back to its unpoled state once whenthe applied electric field is removed which leads to a largenonpolar strain [44] In addition Lee et al reported that thegiant EFIS was attributed to the transition from nonpolarto ferroelectric phases in BNKT-BiAlO
3small grains with
ferroelectric BNT large grains during external electric fieldexecution [45] Recently Lee et al suggested a model on thebasis of the coexistence of polar nanoregions and a nonpolarmatrix which can reversibly transform into a polar ferro-electric phase under cyclic fields via observation of giantEFIS in Sn doped BNKT [46] Ullah et al suggested that theorigin of the large electric-field-induced giant strain is aninherently large electrostrictive strain combined with anadditional strain introduced during electric-field-inducedphase transition [47] However the origin of phase transitionfrom polar to nonpolar due to doping is unclear because theexplanation based on the distorted tolerance factor resultsfromdifference radius of dopants but the tolerance factor justestimated the phase stability and could not predict the sta-bility of structural typeThe further mechanism understatingneeds to be further investigated
(2) Domain Switching The volume regions of the materialwith the same polarization orientation are referred to asferroelectric domains [48] When the sample is under zerofield and strain-free conditions all the domain states have thesame energy but if an electric field is applied the free energyof the system is lowered by aligning the polarization alongthe electric fieldThus large applied electric fields can perma-nently reorient the polarization between the allowed domainstates which are restricted by crystallography As a resultpolycrystals random orientation can be electrically poled toproduce net piezoelectric coefficients Recently Ren pointedout that the large EFIS in ferroelectric crystals is caused bypoint-defect-mediated reversible domain switching [49] Itis noted that the defect dipoles tend to align along the sponta-neous polarization direction which was suggested by electronparamagnetic resonance experiments [50 51] and theoret-ical modeling [52 53] The domain switched and alignedby the applied electric field The defects symmetry anddefects dipolemoment cannot be rotated in such diffusionless
process resulting in restoring force or reversing internal fieldthat favored reverse domain switching when electric field isremoved However theoretical calculation indicated that theultrahigh electromechanical response in single-crystal piezo-electrics resulted from polarization rotation during polingprocessing [54]

very large strain dynamic constant 119878max119864max of 415 pmVwhich results from the field-forced phase transition from theparaelectric phase to the ferroelectric phase [84]

4 Discussion
The mechanism of giant electric-field-induced strain couldbe considered as (i) electric-field-induced phase transitionandor (ii) point-defect-mediated reversible domain switch-ing At room temperature the BNT system is in rhom-bohedral structure and BKT is in tetragonal structure

Figure 3 The highest values 119878max119864max observation in years (from2008 to 2014) in lead-free BNKT-based ceramics
caused difference of valence states However the tolerancefactor has only estimated the range for stability of perovskitebut it was not showed for crystal symmetries Thus theseexplanations were unreliable The mechanism of electricalfield-induced strain was not well understood which stillrequired to further investigate Consequently the roles of A-and B-site on the electrical field-induced strain were uncleartill now However we expected that the 119878max119864max valueswere further increased by using multidopant with optimalconcentration of dopants for each position A- andor B-sitein BNKT ceramics
In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials

caused difference of valence states However the tolerancefactor has only estimated the range for stability of perovskitebut it was not showed for crystal symmetries Thus theseexplanations were unreliable The mechanism of electricalfield-induced strain was not well understood which stillrequired to further investigate Consequently the roles of A-and B-site on the electrical field-induced strain were uncleartill now However we expected that the 119878max119864max valueswere further increased by using multidopant with optimalconcentration of dopants for each position A- andor B-sitein BNKT ceramics
In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials

4 Discussion
The mechanism of giant electric-field-induced strain couldbe considered as (i) electric-field-induced phase transitionandor (ii) point-defect-mediated reversible domain switch-ing At room temperature the BNT system is in rhom-bohedral structure and BKT is in tetragonal structure

Their solid solutions have rhombohedral-tetragonal mor-photropic phase boundary near 016ndash020 of BKT amount[14] The effects of elements dopants or codopants at A-or B-site of BNKT were found to be effective the piezo-electric properties by two mechanisms based on the dif-ference radii point of view Firstly the dopants distortedthe tolerance factor due to the difference the radii ofdopant in comparing with Na+ K+ Bi3+ or Ti4+ Thedistortion results in phase transition from tetragonal topseudocubic or tetragonal development from pseudocubicwhich was strongly related to electric-field-induced phasetransition mechanism Secondly the dopants created theoxygen vacancy due to difference the valence state when theradii were performed which were related to point-defect-mediated reversible domain switchingmechanismThe effectof dopants and solid solution11986010158401198611015840O

because 1198601015840 and 1198611015840 diffused as codopant at both A- and B-sites of BNKT with similar concentrationThe observation ofenhancement of dynamic piezoelectric coefficient was relatedto (i) distorted structure (ii) phase transition from polar tononpolar phase and (iii) polar phase growth inner nonpolarphase The recent explanation of phase transition due todopant based on distorted tolerance factor because radiusbetween host and dopants differed and oxygen vacancy

In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials
5 Conclusion
The current status of lead-free piezoelectric materials hasbeen introduced The lead-free BNKT-based ceramics werereviewed based on the fabrication method effect of dopantsand solid-solution with other 11986010158401198611015840O

ings confirmed that giant strain obtained in lead-free BNKT-based ceramics is due to phase transition from polar tononpolar phase and the highest 119878max119864max values werefound at theMPBHowever the origin of phase transitionwasstill debated The 119878max119864max values of lead-free BNKT-basedceramics are comparable with soft lead-based PZT-basedceramics which could be promising materials to readilyreplace the lead-based PZT-based materials in devices Inaddition the effects of secondary phase 11986010158401198611015840O

caused difference of valence states However the tolerancefactor has only estimated the range for stability of perovskitebut it was not showed for crystal symmetries Thus theseexplanations were unreliable The mechanism of electricalfield-induced strain was not well understood which stillrequired to further investigate Consequently the roles of A-and B-site on the electrical field-induced strain were uncleartill now However we expected that the 119878max119864max valueswere further increased by using multidopant with optimalconcentration of dopants for each position A- andor B-sitein BNKT ceramics
In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials

ings confirmed that giant strain obtained in lead-free BNKT-based ceramics is due to phase transition from polar tononpolar phase and the highest 119878max119864max values werefound at theMPBHowever the origin of phase transitionwasstill debated The 119878max119864max values of lead-free BNKT-basedceramics are comparable with soft lead-based PZT-basedceramics which could be promising materials to readilyreplace the lead-based PZT-based materials in devices Inaddition the effects of secondary phase 11986010158401198611015840O

caused difference of valence states However the tolerancefactor has only estimated the range for stability of perovskitebut it was not showed for crystal symmetries Thus theseexplanations were unreliable The mechanism of electricalfield-induced strain was not well understood which stillrequired to further investigate Consequently the roles of A-and B-site on the electrical field-induced strain were uncleartill now However we expected that the 119878max119864max valueswere further increased by using multidopant with optimalconcentration of dopants for each position A- andor B-sitein BNKT ceramics
In case of rare-earth doped BNKT the enhancementof piezoelectric properties mostly resulted from the point-defect-mediated because rare-earth elements have variousvalences which was displayed by various radii of ion depend-ing on the valence stable state substitution For examplethe mechanism for the effect of CeO
2doped BNKT is
complicated because Ce ion possibly exists in the BNKTstructure in two valence states Ce4+ with radius of 092 Aand Ce3+ with radius of 103 A In view of the radius Ce3+is possible to fill in Bi3+ vacancies and Ce4+ can enter into theBi-site In this case Ce4+ functions as a donor dopant leadingto some vacancies of A-site in the lattice which facilitatesthe movement of domain wall to improve the piezoelectricproperties Another one is that Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions occupythe A-site of Na+ (119903Na+ = 097A) of BNKT compositionwhich are the same as the Ce4+ entering into Bi3+ [55 56] Inthese cases existing vacancies bring defect in lattice whichresults in an increasing in the dielectric loss and grain sizeand have some effects of piezoelectric properties In additionthe experiments demonstrated that rare-earth substitution inNa+ first leads to creation of oxygen vacancies and latticecontraction but when the dopants concentration is over acritical value then it begins to substitute for Bi3+ thus it leadsto lattice expansion [57ndash59]
In case of transitionmetal dopant inBNKT themost find-ings confirmed that dopants resulted in the lower sintering
temperature It is valuable inmarket due to reduction the costof electronic devices
In case of other metal dopant in BNKT there were mixedpoint-defect-mediated and electric-field-induced phase tran-sition mechanisms which depend on the valence and site-prefer to substitution For example the Ta5+ which replacedTi4+ at B-site leads to creation of A-site vacancies whichsignificantly contributed to the destabilization of ferroelectricphase in the Bi perovskite [75 80 114] These factors weresimilar to a case of nonstochiometric at A- and B-site ofBNKT where the vacancies were occurred
In case of solid solution between BNKT with other119860
1015840119861
1015840O3perovskites it is quite interesting because the ideal
was simple like tailor Some of 11986010158401198611015840O3perovskites were
unstable or hardly fabricated such as BiAlO3 but the theory
predicted that they should have goodpiezoelectric propertiesHowever interestingly they were stabled in solid solution inBNKT matrix and strong enhancement piezoelectric prop-erties Similarly the Bi
05Zn05TiO3(BZT) was a good ferro-
electric material and it was tailed their properties in BNKT-BZT as solid solution In addition BNKT-modified withBi05Li05TiO3has displayed the excellent piezoelectric con-
stant 11988933 Recently the multiferroic materials have rapidly
developed because they exhibited the electric field controlledferromagnetism and magnetic field controlled the electricpolarization However multiferroic properties of BNKT-based materials have not been reported Therefore we pro-posed that the solid solution andor composite of BNKTwith insulator ferromagnetism materials such as BiFeO
3and
CoFeO4could be a good display of multiferroics properties
which will promise candidate to develop new class of multi-ferroics materials
5 Conclusion

ings confirmed that giant strain obtained in lead-free BNKT-based ceramics is due to phase transition from polar tononpolar phase and the highest 119878max119864max values werefound at theMPBHowever the origin of phase transitionwasstill debated The 119878max119864max values of lead-free BNKT-basedceramics are comparable with soft lead-based PZT-basedceramics which could be promising materials to readilyreplace the lead-based PZT-based materials in devices Inaddition the effects of secondary phase 11986010158401198611015840O
