Synthesis and Characterization of Lead-Free (1-x)(K0.5Na0.5)Nb1-ySbyO3-xBaTiO3

In this study lead-free ceramics with a formula (1-x)(K0.5Na0.5)Nb1-ySbyO3-xBaTiO3 have been synthesized and studied. XRD studies showed that all compositions have perovskite structure with monoclinic or tetragonal cell depending on substitution level. KNN ceramics with BaTiO3 have more homogeneous structure and increased density in comparison with pure KNN or antimony substituted KNN. Dielectric measurements revealed diffuse phase transition
