Abstract

The local symmetry of (1-x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-xKNbO3 (NBT-xKN, x=0.01-0.07) ceramics was thoroughly examined using high-energy synchrotron x-ray scattering and analysed using the Pair-Distribution Function (PDF) method. At room temperature, the structure of NBT-xKN (x=0.01-0.07) ceramics was best refined using monoclinic C1c1 structures within the local-range (r<22 Å) and rhombohedral R3c within medium-range (22 Å <r <52 Å). Furthermore, the local monoclinic C1c1 structure exists from room temperature to > 420 °C (above the temperature of the maximum dielectric peak, Tm), as confirmed by in-situ temperature-dependent PDF analysis.
