Abstract

Abstract The structure, dielectric, ferroelectric and electromechanical properties of lead lutecium niobate-titanate (PLuNT) and lead erbium niobate-titanate (PErNT) binary systems are reported. The data of phase diagram, crystallographic symmetry and morphotropic phase boundaries (MPB) are provided. High values of the electromechanical coupling coefficients kp = 0.66, kt = 0.48, k31 = 0.36 of (1−x)PLuN − xPT ceramics are attained in compositions near the MPB at x≈0.41.
