Title: Giant Polarization and High Temperature Monoclinic Phase in a Lead-Free Perovskite of Bi(Zn0.5Ti0.5)O3-BiFeO3

Abstract

Lead-free piezoelectrics have attracted increasing attention due to the awareness of lead toxicity to the environment. Here, a new Bi-based lead-free perovskite of (1-x)Bi(Zn0.5Ti0.5)O3-xBiFeO3 has been synthesized via high-pressure and high-temperature method. It exhibits interest-ing properties of giant polarization, morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), and monoclinic phase. In particular, large tetragonality (c/a = 1.228) and giant spontaneous polariza-tion of 110 μC/cm2 has been obtained in 0.6Bi(Zn0.5Ti0.5)O3-0.4BiFeO3, which is much higher than most available lead-free materials and conventional Pb(Zr,Ti)O3. MPB is clearly identified to be constituted by tetragonal and monoclinic phases at x = 0.5. Notably, a single monoclinic phase has been observed at x = 0.6, which exhibits an intriguing high temperature property. In conclusion, the present results are helpful to explore new lead-free MPB systems in bismuth-based compounds.
