Dense lead free ceramics of (K 0.5 Na 0.5 ) 0.96 Sr 0.02 Nb 1-x Mn x O 3 (x=0,0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04) were successfully prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed pure peroveskite structure after Mn doping as compared to the original composition. This was attributed to the inhibition of K+ volatility during sintering process. Dielectric anomaly was observed and explained by multiple-cell structure resulting from Mn-induced lattice distortion. Low loss tangent and relatively high planar electromechanical coupling factor were obtained at x=0.02. The main parameters for the composition of x=0.02 are: εT33/ε0=479, d33=121pC/N Kp=41%, Qm=298, tanδ=1.6%, Tc=391℃. The rates of resonant frequency variation, αfr, and planar coupling factor variation, αKp, with temperature are --1.85% and 1.19% at 80℃, respectively. This material may be suitable for applications in ultrasonic transducers.
