Ferroelectric ceramics are important materials with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Since the discovery of the phenomenon of ferroelectricity, they have been the heart and soul of several multibillion dollar industries, ranging from high-dielectric-permittivity capacitors to developments in piezoelectric transducers, pyroelectric sensors, medical diagnostic transducers, electro-optical devices, etc. Materials based on barium titanate and lead zirconate titanate have dominated the field throughout their history. Actually, the ferroelectric ceramics from the Aurivillius family receive great attention due to their large remanent polarization, lead-free nature, relatively low processing temperatures, high Curie temperatures and excellent piezoelectric properties, which made them good candidates for multiple applications. This review presents a general overview of the progress in the studies on the ferroelectric ceramics from the Aurivillius family. The progress includes several aspects: (i) structural studies, (ii) dielectric and electric behavior, (iii) piezoelectricity, and (iv) pyroelectricity.

Two Dimensional

Studies have been made of the dielectric behavior of several ferroelectric ceramic materials when a two-dimensional stress was applied normal to the axis of polarization. It has been shown that the dielectric constant decreases and the dielectric loss increases with increasing stress, part of the change being irreversible and part reversible. Upon application of stress to a sample, the dielectric constant did not change instantaneously but appeared to decrease linearly with the logarithm of time. Mechanisms are suggested for the observed effects.

Ternary composites of flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), lead zirconate titanate (PZT), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with very high dielectric permittivity (εr) and low dielectric loss (tan δ) are reported. To assess the evolution of dielectric properties with the interactions between conductive and dielectric fillers, composites were designed with a range of content for PZT (0–30 vol%) and MWCNT (0–1 vol%). The microstructure was composed of PZT-rich and segregated MWCNT-rich regions, which could effectively prevent the formation of macroscopic MWCNT conductive networks and thus reduce the high ohmic loss. Therefore, εr increased by a maximum of tenfold, reaching up to 166 by the addition of up to 1 vol% MWCNT to TPU/PZT. More importantly, tan δ remained relatively unchanged at 0.06–0.08, a similar range to that of pure TPU. εr/tan δ ratio reached 2870 at TPU/30 vol% PZT/0.5 vol% MWCNT, exceeding most of the reported values. This work demonstrates the potential of three-phase polymer/conductive filler/dielectric filler composites for efficient charge storage applications.

Ferroelectric ceramic thin films fit naturally into the burgeoning field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Microelectromechanical systems combine traditional Si integrated-circuit (IC) electronics with micromechanical sensing and actuating components. The term MEMS has become synonymous with many types of microfabricated devices such as accelerometers, infrared detectors, flow meters, pumps, motors, and mechanical components. These devices have lateral dimensions in the range of 10 μm–10 mm. The ultimate goal of MEMS is a self-contained system of interrelated sensing and actuating devices together with signal processing and control electronics on a common substrate, most often Si. Since fabrication involves methods common to the IC industry, MEMS can be mass-produced. Commercial applications for MEMS already span biomedical (e.g., blood-pressure sensors), manufacturing (e.g., microflow controllers), information processing (e.g., displays), and automotive (e.g., accelerometers) industries. More applications are projected in consumer electronics, manufacturing control, communications, and aerospace. Materials for MEMS include traditional microelectronic materials (e.g., Si, SiO2, Si3N4, polyimide, Pt, Al) as well as nontraditional ones (e.g., ferroelectric ceramics, shapememory alloys, chemical-sensing materials). The superior piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of ferroelectric ceramics make them ideal materials for microactuators and microsensors.

ABSTRACTIn this work we show that stress in sputter deposited lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films can be controlled by variation of both deposition and annealing temperatures. These films were deposited via reactive rf magnetron sputtering using a Pb1.25Zr. 52Ti. 48 03 composite target and 02 as a reactive gas in an Ar ambient. Variation of stress as a function of deposition and annealing temperature was characterized. The deposited film composition was determined from x-ray fluorescence measurements. There is a strong correlation between film stress, composition, and crystallographic orientation. Stress was determined from the deflection of released SiO 2/Pt cantilever beams. We show that films with a wide range of intrinsic stress can be deposited which still exhibit good piezoelectric properties, making the fabrication of reliable thin film piezoelectric actuators possible.

Electric Fatigue

Bipolar electric fatigue in antiferroelectrics of the lead zirconate titanate stannate ceramics family was investigated. Variations in strain hysteresis loops and damages in microstructure of the materials due to the electric cycling were analyzed. The materials showed symmetric or asymmetric suppression of strain hysteresis loop, normal or diffuse AFE-FE phase transition and intact or damaged microstructure after 5×10-7 cycles, indicating a strong composition dependent fatigue effect and the corresponding mechanism. In general, the antiferroelectric materials exhibited much higher fatigue resistance than ferroelectric ceramics reported previously.
