Phase pure perovskite 0.8Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.2PbTiO 3 (0.8PMN-0.2PT) ferroelectric (FE) ceramics were prepared by the reaction-sintering method at a sintering temperature range of 1200-1250 8C. The sintered ceramics exhibit large relative density, where the 0.8PMN-0.2PT ceramics sintered at 1250 8C possess the largest value of relative density, reaching 99.56% of the theoretical density. All the sintered 0.8PMN-0.2PT ceramics exhibit broad, diffused, and frequency-dependent dielectric response peaks at around 80 8C and saturated and symmetric P-E hysteresis loops. The 0.8PMN-0.2PT ceramics exhibit excellent electrical properties, where the value of dielectric constant maximum e m is 35 750 at 1 kHz, the remanent polarization P r is 33.01 mC/cm 2 , the coercive field E c is 2.79 kV/ cm, and the piezoelectric constant d 33 is 259 pC/N.
