Solid Solution Characteristics of Pb（B1/3Nb2/3）O3-bascd Composite Ceramics

The solid solution characteristics of Pb（B1/3Nb2/3）O3-based （B=Zn^2＋, Mg^2＋, Ni^2＋） composite ceramics prepared by two-phase mixed-sintering method were developed based on dielectric measurements. Results show that there are double dielectric peaks for PZN-based composite ceramic, implying two phases coexist. However single dielectric peak was presented in PMN- and PNN-based composite ceramics, respectively. It is indicated that obvious solid solution reaction exists during the sintering process of these two systems. The effects of B-site ion difference on the solid solution characteristics were discussed by crystal chemistry. SEM was employed to investigated the microstructures of composite ceramics. The influences of solid solution reaction on grain growth were discussed.
