The crossover between these two states occurs in the solid solution with x ≈ 0.8. A strain level ≈ 0.20% is available in the ceramics of these solid solutions. Such a large electromechanical effect might be interesting for the development of piezoelectric materials.}, title = {Ferroelectricity and electromechanical coupling in (1 − x)AgNbO3-xNaNbO3 solid solutions}, volume = {99}, year = {2011} }
