Extract

The morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition that is characterized by the coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases in the Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–BaTiO3– PbTiO3 system was modified by W-doping at the B site of a perovskite structural block. To maintain the electrical neutrality, creation of A-site vacancies was intentionally introduced in the formulation of the examined compositions. Incorporation of W ions was revealed to stabilize the tetragonal phase against the rhombohedral one, shifting the MPB toward the PZN-rich end at room temperature. High-temperature x-ray diffraction examination in combination with dielectric measurements discloses two successive phase transitions as a sample is cooled from high temperature, namely, paraelectric cubic to ferroelectric rhombohedral followed by ferroelectric rhombohedral to ferroelectric tetragonal. W addition appears to suppress the first transition while promoting the second one.
