In this study, lead-free 94Bi0,5Na0,5TiO3-6BaTiO3 (94NBT-6BT) ceramics were fabricated by solidstate synthesis method at ambient atmosphere. Glassy phase and rounded particles in 94NBT-6BT was observed with increasing Mn content. The effects of doping manganese on the ferroelectric properties of 94NBT-6BT bulk ceramics were evaluated. From the XRD results of the calcined powders, peaks were slightly changed to higher 2 theta value while increasing manganese ratio. Multivalence additive Mn ions act as acceptor dopant in 94NBT-6BT structure at ambient atmosphere. Samples were sintered from 1075°C to 1175°C for 2 hours to obtain highest piezoelectric values. SEM results show that glassy phase and rounded particles in 94NBT-6BT was observed with increasing Mn content so, bulk density was enhanced up to 1125C. From the results, 0.3 wt% manganese doped 94NBT-6BT samples have highest electromechanical coupling factor about 0.23, mechanical coupling factor (Qm) 150 and d33 110 pC/N respectively. Further work, 94NBT-6BT and Mn-doped 94NBT-6BT multilayer actuators were manufactured by water-based tape casting technique. The active area was 49 mm 2 MLA and was fabricated by using Ag-Pd internal electrode without Pd-Bi reaction at the electrode-ceramic interface. Hysterisis loop measurements of manufactured lead free actuators were done by using Aixacct CMA module. Remnant polarization values of Mn-doped 94NBT-6BT MLA for a layer were higher than 6 µC/cm 2 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
