Abstract: Thin films of lead-free piezoelectric 0.95Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3–0.05BaTiO3 (0.95NBT–0.05BT) are epitaxially grown on single crystalline SrTiO3 (001) substrates at 800 °C, 850 °C and 900 °C, respectively, by a high-pressure sputtering deposition technique. The microstructure of the thin films is investigated by means of aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy. Planar defects are observed and the density of the defects increases with the increase of the film-growth temperature. Two types of planar defects in the films are studied at the atomic scale. One consists of groups of edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra with Bi atoms located between the TiO6 octahedral groups, and the other exists in the form of Na/Bi(Ba)single bondO2single bondNa/Bi(Ba) layer parallel to the (010) plane of the films. Based on the structure feature of the planar defects, the propagation of the planar defects related to edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra within the films and from the film-substrate interface is discussed. Furthermore, the ordering of the planar defects is expected to form new structures. In comparison with the microstructure of 0.95NBT–0.05BT bulk materials, the appearance of the high-density planar defects observed within the films could be considered to be responsible for the difference in the physical properties between the bulk materials and the films.
