“…To identify the phase evolution of (1- x )(0.88NN-0.12BNZ)- x CT ceramics, the XRD patterns near the (200) peak of samples were enlarged and the results are shown in Figure b. The characteristic peak (200) shifts to a higher angle as the composition changes, which indicates that the lattice contraction occurs. , When CT was added to NN-BNZ ceramics, Ca 2+ (1.34 Å, CN = 6) could replace Na + (1.39 Å, CN = 6) at the A site, while Ti 4+ (0.64 Å, CN = 6) could replace Zr 4+ (0.69 Å, CN = 6), Ni 2+ (0.69 Å, CN = 6), and Nb 5+ (0.69 Å, CN = 6) at the B site, resulting in lattice contraction . The substitution of ions with smaller radius for larger radius is the cause of lattice contraction.…”
