Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:14.84(Physics, Applied)A monoclinic phase was discovered in (NaKLi)NbO solid solution ceramics grown by a malic acid complex solution method. The average and local structures of this monoclinic phase were analyzed by synchrotron X-ray measurements. The local structure can be reproduced by assuming a rhombohedral model, that is the same local structure of KNbO. The results demonstrate that the monoclinic average structure is observed as a disordered rhombohedral structure.

Solid solutions of NaNbO and KNbO are the candidate for non-Pb piezoelectric materials. It is difficult to obtain dense ceramics owing to the difference of their calcination temperature. We developed the malic acid complex method to obtain the (NaKLi)NbO to obtain a high-quality ceramics sample. It was found that (NaKLi)NbO lies complicated phase boundaries; one is the structural phase boundary between NaNbO and KNbO, the other is that between (Na,K)NbO mixture and LiNbO, which is a sintering additive.

(Na,K)NbO has been a candidate for lead-free piezo electric material, since it shows a novel piezoelectric properties by making a mixture between (Na,K)NbO and LiNbO. (Na,K,Li)NbO lies around a morphotropic phase boundary at room temperature, and it has been reported some co-existing phases of a tetragonal and a orthorhombic structures. We re-examined the crystal structure of (Na,K,Li)NbO by using high-energy synchrotron X-ray. It was found that (Na,K,Li)NbO has a monoclinic structure at room temperature. Moreover, we found a phase transition at approximately 200 K, in which the intensity of Bragg peaks changed drastically. The novel piezoelectric response of (Na,K,Li)NbO is caused by modifying the phase transition below room temperature.
