    Abstract

    Perovskite-structured ceramics in the (1-x) BiSc12 Fe12 O3 -x PbTiO3 (BSF-PT) system were fabricated for x≥0.45 in which a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) occurred between rhombohedral and tetragonal phases at x≈0.50 (TC =440 °C). Samples close to the MPB gave piezoelectric and electromechanical coupling coefficients of ∼300 pCN and 0.5, respectively. The low cost of BSF-PT in comparison to (1-x) BiScO3 -x PbTiO3 (BS-PT) coupled with its high TC and usable piezoelectric properties suggests future commercial exploitation. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
