Pure K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) and KNN doped with Li+ (6% mole),La3+(1.66%,5%,6% mole),and Ti4+ (10% mole) were prepared by mixture of oxides using high-energy milling and conventional solid-state reaction.The effects of the dopant on the physical properties of pure KNN have been evaluated based on the structural,ferroelectric,pyroelectric,and dielectric measurements.The XRD measurements show that KNN pure sample contains a mixture of monoclinic and orthorhombic crystalline phases,with a slightly higher concentration of monoclinic phase.In contrast,all doped samples show a higher concentration of the orthorhombic phase,as well as the presence of a secondary phase (K6Nb10.sO30),also detected by Raman measurements.The samples with a higher concentration of this secondary phase,also present greater dielectric losses and lower values of remnant polarization.The dielectric measurements allowed us to detect temperatures of structural transitions (orthorhombic-tetragonal,O-T) previous to the ferroelectric-paraelectric transition (tetragonal-cubic,T-C),and also in this set of samples,a direct correlation was found between the values of remnant polarization and the corresponding pyroelectric signal response.
