The samples structure was determined by X-ray diffractometry which indicate that the phase structure, of sintered PFN-PNN-PZT ceramics, was transformed from tetragonal to rhombohedral with Zr/Ti ratio increased in system. The effect of Zr/Ti ratio and sintering temperature on the structure and piezoelectric properties of our simples were investigated. The new MPB in this quaternary system with optimum piezoelectric properties was found at x = 0.51-0.53. The dependence of the piezoelectric coefficient (d31), electromechanical coupling factor (kp) and the dielectric constant (ε) on the Zr/Ti ratio shows a pronounced  maximum of d31 = 141* 10-12 C/N, kp= 0.64 and ε = 850 at Zr/Ti : 51/49. As the Zr/Ti ratio increases, the Tcof PFN-PNN-PZT ceramics decreases and consequently the peak in the dielectric spectrum corresponding to the Tc moves towards room temperature. A Tc of 360 °C is obtained when Zr/Ti: 51/49.}, issn = {2571-9815}, pages = {21--28}, url = {http://univ-biskra.dz/revues/index.php/jaest/article/view/3871} }
