Band gap modification and ferroelectric properties of Bi0.5(Na,K)0.5TiO3-based by Li substitution

We report on the reduction of band gap in Bi0.5(Na0.82-xLixK0.18)0.5(Ti0.95Sn0.05)O3 from 2.99 eV to 2.84 eV due to the substitutions of Li+ ions to Na+ sites. In addition, the lithium substitution samples exhibit an increasing of the maximal polarizations from 21.8 to 25.7 μC/cm2. The polarization...
