Piezo-photoferroelectric response in bismuth-modified KNBNBiNO
摘要
Abstract
The incorporation of bismuth (5% mol) into the B-site of the complex perovskite structure that gives rise to the (K0.49Na0.49Ba0.02)(Ni0.01Bi0.05Nb0.94)O2.945 (named KNBNBiNO) system increases the concentration of oxygen vacancies and results in higher polarization values. The out-of-plane and in-plane polarized ferroelectric domains were confirmed by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM). The effective piezoelectric coefficient, deff, measured by PFM, changed from 11 pm/V in dark to 69 pm/V under sustained white light illumination. The influence of the photoferroelectric effect on the piezoelectric properties of the present system, is described.
