The influence of uniaxial compressive stress on small-signal relative permittivity and direct piezoelectric coefficient of polycrystalline Li-modified (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (0, 2, and 4 mol. % Li) was characterized as a function of temperature from 25 to 450 °C. These data reveal corresponding anomalies in both the dielectric and piezoelectric properties near the well-known structural phase transitions in (KxNa1 − x)NbO3. In particular, increasing stress was found to shift the orthorhombic–tetragonal () and tetragonal–cubic () phase boundaries to higher temperatures, thereby stabilizing the lower symmetry phases. Experimental results also show that stress up to a critical value flattens the piezoelectric response below , above which a monotonic decrease is observed. In contrast, permittivity is increased below with increasing stress. These results are used to construct a stress–temperature phase diagram of Li-modified (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3.
