Abstract Lead-free (K, Na) NbO 3 (KNN) and La doped (K, Na) NbO 3 (KNN-La) thin films
are grown on SrTiO 3 substrates using the chemical solution deposition method. The effect …

Piezoelectric nanostructures have many important applications in nanodevices and micro‐
electro‐mechanical systems. This work developed a topochemical method based on Molten …

Potassium sodium niobate (KNN) powders were synthesized by a modified sol–gel method,
using as starting chemicals potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, and niobium …

In this paper, highly pure Na0. 5K0. 5NbO3 nanopowder was prepared from an economical
sol–gel method. Using the nanopowder, dense Na0. 5K0. 5NbO3 ceramics with ultrafine …

Abstract (Na 0.52 K 0.44 Li 0.04)(Nb 0.86 Ta 0.06 Sb 0.08) O 3 (LTS-KNN) nano-powders
with the size of 11–34 nm were prepared by a sol–gel method. Using the nano-powders …

In the present study we clearly demonstrate the relationships between the microstructural
