Dense KNbO3ceramics have been successfully synthesized by pressure-less sintering under optimized heat-treatment conditions using a small amount of La2O3and Fe2O3additives. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that KNbO3forms (K1−xLax)(Nb1−xFex)O3solid solutions and changes in the crystal system, depending on the additive content, from orthorhombic to tetragonal at x of 0.020, and from tetragonal to cubic at x of 0.200 or higher. The x=0.002 specimen showed orthorhombic symmetry and demonstrated the best saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop with largest remanent polarization (Pr) of 18μC/cm2, which is comparable to the value reported for pure KNbO3ceramics fabricated by hot pressing. This specimen also showed a planar electromechanical coupling ratio (kp) of 0.17 and thickness mode (kt) of 0.48. The piezoelectric d33constant was 98pC/N.
