Perovskite-structured solid solutions with compositions of 0.9963{($1-x$)(Bi_1/2Na_1/2)TiO₃--$x$Ba(Cu_1.1/3Nb_2/3)O₃} + 0.0037MnO₂, with $x = 0{\mbox{--}}0.06$ [abbreviated as ($1-x$)BNT--$x$BCN)], were fabricated by normal sintering, and their structural, and piezo- and ferroelectric properties were investigated in detail. The X-ray diffraction profiles of the ($1-x$)BNT--$x$BCN solid solutions with $x = 0{\mbox{--}}0.06$ suggested that the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in this material system is in the compositional region $x = 0.0425{\mbox{--}}0.0460$. The cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns of the ($1-x$)BNT--$x$BCN samples with $x = 0.0475$ suggested that the present materials have a modulation structure arranged by a double period along the [111] direction. It is shown that the tetragonal BNT--BCN ($x = 0.0475$) solid solution with a composition of 0.9490BNT$\Cdot$0.0473BCN$\Cdot$0.0037MnO₂near the MPB has a piezoelectric coefficient ($d_{33}$), a relative permittivity ($\varepsilon_{33}{}^{\text{T}}/\varepsilon_{0}$), and a remanent polarization ($P_{\text{r}}$) of approximately 1.8, 3.2, and 2.8 times larger, respectively, than those of the BNT solid solution without BCN substitution.
