Abstract
Influence of moderate substitution of Na by monovalent metals Li, K and Ag on structure, phase transitions and dielectric properties of 0.4Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-0.4SrTiO3-0.2PbTiO3 is studied. Substitution by Li increases, while substitution by K and Ag decreases tetragonality of unit cell. Li increases, Ag decreases while K weakly influences phase transition temperature. The characteristic for the parent phase relaxor state with Tt approaching Tm in case of substitution by K and Li transfers into diffused phase transition without Tm dependence on frequency and extended region of thermal hysteresis.
