칼륨 니오베이트

용도Potassium niobate can be used to prepare bismuth sodium titanate(BNT)-KN ceramics (BNT–KN ceramics) by the mixed oxide method. The addition of KN to the BNT system increases the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the BNT-KN ceramics. These properties of the ceramic system are suitable for the development of lead-free capacitors. Cu dopped KNbO3 single crystals also found application in semiconductor laser technology because Cu doping resulted in electronic states with near-infrared absorption bands.

일반 설명Potassium niobate (KNbO3, KN) is a perovskite-type well-known ferroelectric material with a wide range of applications in electromechanical, nonlinear optical, frequency doubler, and holographic storage system applications. Single crystal of a KNbO3 is known to have high piezoelectric activity because of its high electromechanical coupling factors. Therefore KN materials have received much interest in the development of lead-free piezoelectric materials.
