amount and the sintering temperature on
the microstructures and piezoelectric properties of PZNNT ceramics were investigated. Analyses of phase and microstructure
indicated that both of grain size and the content of tetragonal phase at the MPB decreased significantly by increasing Sr

relative optimum properties due to the close content of tetragonal and rhombohedral phase at the MPB. Additionally, with
further increase of sintering temperature for mature grain, the content of tetragonal phase and electric properties of PZNNT-
