Exploring the BiFeO3-PbTiO3-SrTiO3 Ternary System to Obtain Good Piezoelectrical Properties at Low and High Temperatures

In this work, we investigated the piezoelectric properties of BiFeO3-rich (1 − (y + x)) BiFeO3–y PbTiO3–x SrTiO3 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.35; 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.3) bulk piezoceramics, as this system could potentially lead to the development of bulk piezoelectric ceramics that are suitable for high-temperature applications (>200 °C). Samples with various levels...

Controlling the Oxygen Defects Concentration in a Pure BiFeO3 Bulk Ceramic

BiFeO ₃ is a multiferroic material with a perovskite structure that has a lot of potential for use in sensors and transducers. However, obtaining pure single-phase BiFeO ₃ ceramic with a low electrical conductivity via solid-state reactions remains a problem that limits its application. In this work, the suppression of...
