Abstract
Lead free ceramics [ (Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO $_{3})_{\rm (1-x)}$ (BiScO $_{3})_{\rm x}$ ${\rm x}=0$ to 0.25] were prepared following the conventional mixed oxide route. The effect of incorporated BiScO₃ on the structure, lattice parameters and electrical properties of the NBT-BS system has been studied. The increase of the lattice parameters with x is linked to the increase of the mean ionic radii in the B-site of the perovskite structure. The Sc-Ti substitution increases the disorder in the cationic sublattice which involves an increase of the diffuseness of the structural phase transition at T $_{\rm c}$ .
