(1-x)(Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3)-xBa(Ti0.95Zr0.05)O3 ceramics were prepared by the mixed oxide technique and their dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties determined in detail in the range x = 0.06 to 0.09. At x = 0.07 the maximum relative permittivity of 1338 and piezoelectric constant of 167 pC/N were obtained. It was concluded that 0.93(Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3)-0.07Ba(Ti0.95Zr0.05)O3 is the morphotropic phase boundary region for this system.

Multi-scale domain structures in the BiScO3–PbTiO3 single crystal are imagined and analyzed by birefringence imaging microscopy (BIM) and piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), revealing the local distortion in the vicinity of the domain walls.

In this work, 0.15Pb(Er1/2Nb1/2)O3–0.63Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.22PbTiO3 (15PEN–63PZN–22PT) single crystals with a pure perovskite structure are obtained through the flux method. The phase structure, dielectric, ferroelectric properties and upconversion photoluminescence of the crystals are studied. The ternary crystals along the [110] orientation have a high Curie temperature (Tc = 250 °C) and large coercive field (Ec = 11.0597 kV/cm) which are higher than those of crystals reported previously. Furthermore, the PEN–PZN–PT crystals are produced with a strong green light excited by a 980 nm laser. Being in the range 298–478 K, the emission intensity of all peaks decreases with increase in temperature. The absolute quantum yield (QY) for the crystals is 0.00059%. These excellent properties provide new possibilities for multifunctional materials of optoelectronic devices.

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.
