Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} doped lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (Bi{sub 0.5}Na{sub 0.5}){sub 0.94}Ba{sub 0.06}TiO{sub 3} (0-0.7 wt%) were synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction method, and the effect of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} addition on the structure and electrical properties was investigated. X-ray diffraction shows that Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} diffuses into the lattice of (Bi{sub 0.5}Na{sub 0.5}){sub 0.94}Ba{sub 0.06}TiO{sub 3} to form a solid solution with a pure perovskite structure. The temperature dependence of dielectric constant of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} doped samples under various frequencies indicates obvious relaxor characteristics different from typical relaxor ferroelectric and the mechanism of the relaxor behavior was discussed. The optimum piezoelectric properties of piezoelectric constant d{sub 33} = 137 pC/N and the electromechanical coupling factor k{sub p} = 0.30 are obtained at 0.5% and 0.1% Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} addition, respectively.
