Abstract
Optical ratiometric thermometry techniques have gained much attention in recent years due to their reliable and noncontact temperature sensing capability for industrial and biorelated applications. Herein, we exploited the temperature dependence of the absorption band of BaTiO3 (BTO) for novel excitation intensity ratio (EIR) thermometry. Photoluminescence and excitation properties of Eu3+-doped BTO powders were studied as a function of Eu3+ doping concentration. The excitation peak intensities at 397 and 468 nm, corresponding to the 7F0 → 5L6 and 5D2 transitions of Eu3+, were used as EIR parameters. The temperature dependence of the EIR can be explained by the competitive absorption between Eu3+ and the BTO host. The EIR properties were studied in relation to the doping concentration, registering a maximum relative sensitivity (Sr) of 4.89% K-1 in BTO:Eu3+ (0.5%) at 303 K. An amphoteric Eu3+ occupation mode at both Ba2+ and Ti4+ sites was found to interpret the doping concentration dependence of the Sr. The reduced Ba2+ site occupation ratio proved to be responsible for the low Sr values at high Eu3+ doping concentrations. Accordingly, an Eu3+/Ti3+ codoping method was further proposed to improve the Sr by increasing the Ba2+ site occupation ratio. Our result showed that BTO:Eu3+ (0.5%) demonstrated an enhancement of Sr from 4.89 to 6.42% K-1 at 303 K after 2% Ti3+ codoping.

Neutron powder diffraction (NPD) was employed to further investigate the BaTi1−x
Sn
x
O3 (BTS) system previously studied by X-ray diffraction. The room-temperature phase compositions and crystal structures of BTS samples with x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10, 0.12, 0.15 and 0.20 were refined by the Rietveld method using NPD data. It is well known that barium titanate powder (x = 0) crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm space group. The crystal structures of the samples with 0.025 ≤ x ≤ 0.07 were refined as mixtures of P4mm and Amm2 phases; those with x = 0.1 and 0.12 show the coexistence of rhombohedral R3m and cubic phases, while the samples with x = 0.15 and 0.20 crystallize in a single cubic Pm{\overline 3}m phase. Temperature-dependent NPD was used to characterize the BaTi0.95Sn0.05O3 sample at 273, 333 and 373 K, and it was found to form single-phase Amm2, P4mm and Pm{\overline 3}m structures at these respective temperatures. The NPD results are in agreement with data obtained by differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric permittivity measurements, which show a paraelectric–ferroelectric transition (associated with structural transition) from Pm{\overline 3}m to P4mm at about 353 K followed by a P4mm to Amm2 phase transition at about 303 K.

Abstract
Here we report a strong piezoelectric activity in (1 - x)(K0.4Na0.6)(Nb0.96Sb0.04)O3-xBi0.5K0.5Zr1-ySnyO3 lead-free ceramics by designing different phase boundaries. The phase boundaries concerning rhombohedral-orthorhombic-tetragonal (R-O-T) and rhombohedral-tetragonal (R-T) multiphase coexistence were attained by changing BKZS and Sn contents and then were identified by the X-ray diffraction patterns as well as temperature-dependent permittivity and ν1 Raman modes associated with BO6 perovskite octahedron. A high strain (strain = 0.21-0.28% and d33* = 707-880 pm/V) and a strong piezoelectric coefficient (d33 = 415-460 pC/N) were shown in the ceramics located at the multiphase coexistence region. The reported results of this work are superior to that (d33* ∼ 570 pm/V and d33 ∼ 416 pC/N) of the textured (K,Na,Li)(Nb,Ta,Sb)O3 ceramics [Nature 2004, 432, 84]. We believe that the material system of this work will become one of the most promising candidates for piezoelectric actuators.
