초록

As a candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials, dense $95(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-5LiTaO_3$ (NKN-5LT) ceramics were developed by conventional sintering process. Sintering temperature was lowered by adding $Li_2O$ as a sintering aid. The electrical properties of NKN-5LT ceramics were investigated as a function of $Li_2O$ concentration. At the addition of 1 mol% $Li_2O$, electromechanical coupling factor $(k_P)$ and piezoelectric coefficient $(d_{33})$ of NKN-5LT ceramics were found to reach the highest values of 0.37 and 250 pC/N, respectively.
