Abstract
Ferroelectric, hysteresis, impedance spectroscopy parameters, AC conductivity, and piezoelectric properties in the ceramics of Pb 0.74K0.52Nb2O6 and Pb 0.74K0.13Sm0.13Nb2O6 have been studied. X-ray diffraction study reveals single phase with the orthorhombic structure. The samples were characterized for ferroelectric and impedance spectroscopy properties from room temperature to 600°C. Cole-Cole plots(Z″ versus Z′) are drawn at different temperatures. The results obtained are analyzed to understand the conductivity mechanism in both the samples. The piezoelectric constant d33 has been found to be 96 × 10-12 C/N in PKN.
