Abstract

Stoichiometric K0.5Na0.5NbO3 solid solution(KNN) was prepared by solid-state synthesis from alkaline carbonates and niobium oxide. Thermal decomposition of the powder mixture occurs upon heating to 700 °C followed by crystallization of the perovskite phase. After sintering at 1100 °C, 2h the stoichiometric KNN reaches 94 % of theoretical density. Dielectric constant of stoichiometric KNN is 620, and the losses 0.03.
