강유전체(K 0.5 Na 0.5 )NbO 3 의 제조 및 전기적 특성 분석

Ferroelectric ceramics are broadly used for various industrial applications. In this research, the lead-free ferroelectric ceramics of $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ was fabricated by using the solid state synthesis. The $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ pellets were sintered at 1200, 1150 and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours in air atmosphere. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) characterization of the sintered KNN ceramics revealed surface morphology and grain size. And we used the X-ray diffraction (XRD) for measuring the sample crystal phase. Temperature dependence of the dielectric constant was measured by using an LCR meter. The sintered at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours sample has a highest dielectric constant 6011 at Curie temperature ($T_C$) and dense structure with $2.33{\mu}m$ grain size.
