Local structure analysis of Bi$$_{0.5}$$Na$$_{0.5}$$TiO$$_3$$

Yoneda, Yasuhiro   ; Nagamoto, Takeru*; Nagata, Hajime*; Kobune, Masafumi*

Bi$$_{0.5}$$Na$$_{0.5}$$TiO$$_3$$ (BNT) is a candidate for lead-free piezoelectric material having a perovskite-type structure. The crystal structure of BNT was believed to be rhombohedral. Recently, BNT grown by high-temperature synthesis was reported to be monoclinic. We have synthesized Bi$$_ {0.5} $$Na$$_ {0.5} $$TiO$$_3$$ crystal in the high temperature condition so as to apply the Rietveld method for average structure refinement and the atomic pair-distribution function (PDF) technique for local structure refinement. The Bragg peaks can be reproduced by assuming a monoclinic structure, while the local structure can be reproduced by assuming a rhombohedral crystal structure.
