Abstract

The objective of this research was to characterize the dielectric and induced piezoelectric properties of Ba²⁺-doped, 0.87 Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ - PbTiO₃ relaxor ferroelectrics. The induced k_t's measured at 25°C depended strongly on the Ba²⁺ amount and electric field, maximizing at a value of 0.59 for an applied field of 5 kV/cm and a 2% doping level. The corresponding k_p was 0.38. These results correlate well with the dielectric properties; the 2% composition exhibits the highest permittivity, with the macro-microdomain transition near 25°C
