Lead zirconate titanate, Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT), ceramics are ferroelectrics formed as solid solutions between ferroelectric PbTiO3 and ant iferroelectric PbZrO3. The subsolidus phase diagram is shown in figure 1. PZT transforms between the Ti-rich tetragonal (T) and the Zr-rich rhombohedral (R) phases at a composition which is nearly independent of temperature. This phenomenon is called morphotropism, and the boundary between the two phases is known as the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). The excellent piezoelectric and dielectric properties occurring at this composition are believed to.be due to the coexistence of T and R phases, which results in easy poling (i.e. orientation of individual grain polarizations in the direction of an applied electric field). However, there is little direct proof of the coexistence of the two phases at the MPB, possibly because of the difficulty of distinguishing between them. In this investigation a CBD method was found which would successfully differentiate between the phases, and this was applied to confirm the coexistence of the two phases.

In the present paper, we report the effect of Samarium substitution and Niobium doping on the properties of a PZT(52:48). The properties studied are: structural, dielectric and ferroelectric. The samples with chemical formula Pb 0.99 Sm 0.01 Zr 0.52 Ti 0.48 O 3 were prepared by solid-state dry ceramic method. Small amount (0.5 wt%) of Nb 2 O 5 was also added. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed formation of a single phase with tetragonal structure. Dielectric properties were studied as a function of temperature and frequency. Transition temperature, Tc, was determined from dielectric constant versus temperature plot. The material shows well-defined ferroelectric (PE) hysteresis loop.

Depending on the lattice distortion, the dielectric properties of PZT and PT ceramics are studied from a structural phase transition point of view. The study involves a more profound physical process than the study of the relation between the dielectric properties and composition x. Two equations connecting the dielectric properties and the lattice distortions are established in the tetragonal and rhombohedral phase regions. In particular, the relation between the dielectric properties and the lattice distortion is investigated in the phase coexistence region of PZT ceramics using a phase statistical distribution model, and we determine the fitting value of the volume fraction of the tetragonal phase VT to composition x in the equation. All the fitting results indicate that our results are very consistent with the related experimental data for PZT and PT ceramics.PACS Nos.: 64.70.–p, 77.22.–d, 77.84.–s
