Compositional homogeneity of textured KNN-based ceramics

Smart materials like piezoelectrics and ferroelectrics play a crucial role in applications such as sensors and actuators, radio-frequency switching, drug delivery, chemicals detection, and power generation and storage. Pb (Zrx, Ti1-x) O3 (PZT), close to the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with a composition of about x= 0.5 is currently the most widely used material for electromechanical applications [1]. Even though, with suitable properties of ..
