Abstract
0.72(Bi$_{0.5}$Na$_{0.5}$)Ti$_{(1-x)}$Zr$_x$O$_3$-0.28SrTiO$_3$ (BNTZ-ST) with $x$ = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03 were produced using a solid solution reaction procedure. Results from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the presence of a perovskite structure with cubic symmetry for all samples. Surface analysis was completed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and the grain size was found to decrease slightly with increasing Zr doping. The grain morphology was primarily rectangular, but morphed into a rounder shape with increases in Zr. In a dielectric constant study, the depolarization temperature was found to decrease with increasing Zr$^{+4}$ content and increasing frequency. The strain was found to be 0.34\% for the undoped samples with an equivalent dynamic strain ($S_{max}/E_{max}$) of 618 pm/V, without negative strain. However, the strain decreased slightly and hysteresis loops become slim and more symmetric, attaining a relaxor ferroelectric behavior with increasing Zr content.
