It is found that ferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric (AFE)-like behavior can coexist at temperatures significantly lower than the depolarization temperature Td (even down to as low as ambient temperature) and that this leads to reversible giant strains of up to 0.48%. Electron microscopy suggests that such behavior results from the electric field-dependence of fine scale octahedral tilt twinning disorder and associated disorder in the local displacements of the Na/Bi/Ba and Ti ions. These local structural variations correlate with each other and become considerable under an applied external electrical field, leading to the anti-ferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition observed by a combination of electrical property characterisation and diffraction studies. By changing chemical composition, it is also found that the stability of the induced ferroelectric phase strongly depends on the mole ratio of Na+ to Bi3+. This work thus provides new insight into ways to further optimize lead-free BNT-BT piezoelectric ceramics for practical uses.
