摘要：

Recently, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have widely attracted interest among the research community, as they are considered to be potential substitutes for lead-based ceramics which causes environmental pollution due to the presence of hazardous lead oxide in them. In the present study we have synthesized La doped Ba1-x/2Lax/3(ZryTi1-y)O-3 (x=0-0.06 in steps of 0.02; y=0, 0.05) ceramics by the conventional solid-state reaction method. Results reveal that electric field induced strain increases from similar to 0.08% to similar to 0.18% (at 40 kV/cm applied field) for x=0.02 and y=0.05 of lanthanum and zirconium substitution respectively compared to undoped BaTiO3. It was also observed that, sample with 2 mol% lanthanum could sustain higher electric field upto 120 kV/cm during strain measurement (without electrical breakdown) and results showed highest strain value of similar to 0.3% in this system.
