摘要
It is shown that the tetragonal (T) and rhombohedral (R) structures of (1-x)BiFeO3-xPbTiO(3) are stable for x(T)>= 0.31 and x(R)<= 0.27, respectively, giving the narrowest width of 0.03, reported so far, for the morphotropic phase boundary region in this system. The Rietveld refined structure of the T phase for x=0.31 reveals partial covalent character of the Ti/Fe-O and Pb/Bi-O bonds which may be responsible for the unusually large tetragonality.
