Abstract
K0,5Na0,5NbO3 (KNN) nano powder materials were fabricated by sol-gel method. The effect of the sintering temperatures on the structure and optical properties was also studied. The results of X ray diffraction indicated that KNN samples have the perovskite structure with an orthorhombic phase. Raman spectroscopy exhibited that there was a change in the scattering vibration modes at the different calcination temperatures. By increasing these temperatures, the optical band gap of the samples calculated in UV-vis absorption spectroscopy declined. Our work showed that KNN samples synthesized by sol-gel method has lowered the sintering temperature compared with some reported fabrication techniques.
