Abstract
BiFeO3 -PbTiO3 (BFPT) based materials have received interest as high temperature piezoelectrics due to an extremely high Tc of 632degC, and a spontaneous strain >18%; this high strain makes these materials extremely difficult to pole. Doping with small concentrations of La allows materials to be prepared with a d33 > 100 pm V-1 whilst maintaining a Tc > 450degC. Presented here are results from a Rayleigh analysis of these materials which shows that the extrinsic contribution to the piezoelectric effect is extremely low, providing Rayleigh coefficients (alphad) between 4.2 and 6.3 times 10-18 m2V-2, considerably lower than that observed in PZT. The huge deviation from observations in PZT and BiFeO3 -PbTiO3 outline considerable domain wall locking in BFPT, which has a detrimental effect on the piezoelectric activity in this system.
