Title: Second‐order‐transition like characteristic contributes to strain temperature stability in (K, Na)NbO 3 ‐based materials

Abstract

Abstract High strain and good temperature stability are contradictory properties in (K, Na)NbO 3 (KNN)‐based materials. Herein, good temperature stability with high strain is obtained in a multiphase coexistent [ie, orthorhombic‐tetragonal (O‐T) and rhombohedral‐orthorhombic‐tetragonal (R‐O‐T)] KNN. A second‐order transition‐like characteristic should contribute to the temperature stability, in which an intrinsic lattice structure forms a bridge between them. The observed second‐order transition‐like characteristic is due to the reduced discrepancy among different lattice symmetries and a broadened temperature region for the phase transition. These integrated factors can slow the latent heat in a first‐order transition and extend it over a wide temperature region, thereby exhibiting second‐order transition‐like behavior. Correspondingly, the abrupt increase in strain near the phase transition temperature significantly slows. In addition, the appearance of pure tetragonal symmetry ( P 4 mm ) is deferred to a much higher temperature than T O‐T , in which the strain will inevitably decrease. As a result, good temperature stability with a high strain response can be realized in multiphase coexistent KNN materials, including d 33 *=448 pm/V, ‐27.5%≤fluctuation≤4.2% for O‐T, and d 33 *=446 pm/V, ‐17.5%≤fluctuation≤7.6% for R‐O‐T, over the whole temperature range 25 °C‐190 °C.
