摘要

In this work, the A-site complex perovskite K1/2Bi1/2TiO3 (KBT) was first found to demonstrate a normal-relaxor ferroelectric modulation by the annealing temperature. KBT ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method and subjected to a post-annealing at 800 degrees C or 1000 degrees C, respectively. It is found that the post-annealing at 800 degrees C switches KBT to a relaxor ferroelectric while the post-annealing at 1000 degrees C makes KBT develop into a normal ferroelectric. Besides, the sample annealed at 800 degrees C presented an inflection at 155 degrees C to decrease the Pr due to the enhanced relaxor behavior. Moreover, annealing at 1000 degrees C could promote the growth of the domains and the local ordering of A-site cations. It is believed that the modulation of KBT between the normal ferroelectric and relaxor was attributed to the domain size and the local ordering of A-site cations. Published by AIP Publishing.
