Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15-based materials with A-site vacancy were synthesized using conventional solid state processing. The (Li,Ce) modification of Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15-based materials resulted in the obvious improvement of the piezoelectric activity and dielectric permittivity. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15-based ceramics exhibiting a very stable temperature behavior, together with its high TC ~641oC, excellent piezoelectric coefficient ~28pC/N and very low temperature coefficient of resonant frequency, making the (Li,Ce) modified Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15-based ceramics a promising candidate for high temperature applications.

The order-disorder states of the A-site vacancy of PBN solid solution affected by different thermal treatments were studied with the aid of High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM). PBN ceramics around the morphotropic phase boundary were prepared through two routes to control ordering degree of the A-site vacancy: (1) samples through quenching processes resulted in chaotic states of the A-site vacancies and misfit anti-phase boundary; (2) samples through slow cooling led to an ordered structure of the vacancies in the A1-site. The ordered A1-site vacancies were modulated by interchanges of the sublattices of the ordered vacancies and the Pb2+ cations in the A1-sites along both and orientations, forming a narrow discommensurate wall between two anti-phase domains. The anti-phase domains were observed as a regular belt structure with dimensions of about 45 nm × (≥120) nm. The belt nano-domain structures were a result of quasi-equilibrium thermodynamic processes.

The effect of A-site vacancy order-disorder states on diffuse phase transition (DPT) of tungsten bronze Pb1−xBaxNb2O6 (PBN) ferroelectrics has been investigated. The A-site vacancy disordered PBN ceramics exhibit notable variations of the Curie temperatures (i.e., the temperatures at the dielectric maximum permittivities) up to 12 °C in response to frequency changed from 0.1 KHz to 100 KHz. The largest frequency dispersion occurred at the morphotropic phase boundary of 1 − X = 0.63, along with the lowest Curie point. In contrast, the A-site vacancy ordered PBN ceramics present little frequency dispersion in the range of 2 °C from 0.1 KHz to 100 KHz. Dielectric constants of the disordered PBN ceramics were generally higher than those of the ordered ones. In comparison with the ordered PBN ceramics, the Curie points of the disordered ceramics were shifted from lower to higher temperature as the Pb2+ cation percentage was decreased; i.e., the Curie temperatures of the disordered PBN ceramics were lower than those of the ordered ones when 1 − X ≥ 0.70, but higher when 1 − X ≤ 0.65. These differences are suggested to inherently result from the A-site vacancy order-disorder states. The relationship between the A-site vacancy order-disorder states and the dielectric properties has also been confirmed with studies of thermal hysteresis.

<p>We report four new A-site vacancy ordered thiocyanate double double perovskites,</p><p>A1􀀀xfNi[Bi(SCN)6]1􀀀x3 }, A = K<sup>+</sup>, NH4<sup>+</sup>, CH3(NH3)<sup>+</sup> (MeNH<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>) and C(NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> (Gua<sup>+</sup>), including the first examples of thiocyanate perovskites containing organic A-site cations. We show, using a combination of X-ray and neutron diffraction, that the structure of these frameworks depends on the A-site cation, and that these frameworks possess complex vacancy-ordering patterns and cooperative octahedral tilts distinctly different from atomic perovskites. Density functional theory calculations uncover the energetic origin of these complex orders and allow us to propose a simple rule to predict favoured A-site cation orderings for a given tilt sequence. We use these insights, in combination with symmetry mode analyses, to show that these complex orders offer a new route to non-centrosymmetric perovskites which render them as excellent candidates for</p><p>piezo- and ferroelectric applications.</p>
