Аннотация:The phase structure, dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of (1-2x)BiScO3 - xPbTiO3 - xPbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 ceramics (x=0.30-0.46) were studied. It was found that an increase in x leads to a structural phase transition between the rhombohedral and tetragonal phase via an intermediate monoclinic phase and to a crossover from the nonergodic relaxor state to the ferroelectric one. It was proposed that at x>0.42 the phase transition changes from second to first order. The assumption about the existence of a tricritical point on the phase diagram at x≈0.42 with the enhanced dielectric response has been made. The observed structure-property relationships of the studied solid solutions are discussed. It is shown that the solid solutions with x=0.42 are characterized by the high piezoelectric parameters (d33 = 509 pC/N, d31 = -178 pC/N, dh = 153 pC/N), which makes possible their applications in sonar equipment.
