Ceramics of xBiFeO3-(1−x)(K0.5Bi0.5)TiO3(where x=0.6, 0.7 and 0.8) have been produced, and characterized using neutron diffraction, revealing a G-type antiferromagnetic structure. The ferroelectric Curie temperature was >430°C, and the Néel temperature was in the range 228–254°C, increasing with x. Ferroelectricity was confirmed using strain and polarization-field measurements, for the composition x=0.6, with a Ps=26μC/cm2and a coercive field=3.85kV/mm. Piezoelectricity was observed for this material with a low-field d33of 37pm/V, and a high-field d33⁎of 80pm/V where x=0.6. The reduction in coercive field in this system is shown to correlate with the oxygen octahedral tilt angle. The solid solution xBiFeO3-(1−x)(K0.5Bi0.5)TiO3has potential as a high temperature, piezoelectric, multiferroic system.
