Abstract

A comprehensive global and local structural characterization using X-ray and neutron diffraction, and EXAFS have been performed to investigate the effect of electrical poling on the structure of (1-x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-(x)K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 compositions. While the annealed samples showed definite indication of presence of local displacive disorders in all the compositions studied (0 <x <0.3), this disorder persisted to some extent even after poling the samples. The tendency of electric field to reduce the local displacive disorder decreased with increasing K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 content in the samples. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
