Ferroelectric properties of cadmium, lead, lead-barium, potassium, silver, sodium, and sodium-cadmium niobates are given along with barium titanate ferroelectric properties for comparison. Results show that cadmium, potassium, silver, and sodium niobates have poor piezoelectric activity and cannot be used as piezoelectric material, however the properties can be changed by adding cadmium to the sodium niobate with the result of improved piezoelectric properties. Lead and lead-barium niobates have reasonably high piezcelectric activity and lead metaniobate has the highest known Curie temperature (570 deg C). (N.W.R.)
