o improve the electrical properties of PSZT piezoelectric ceramics, a ceramic powder Pb0.94Sr0.06(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PSZT) with Nb2O5 was designed. The power was prepared by solid state sintering. The surface structure of sample was characterized using SEM, and the crystal structure of the sample was examined by XRD. The capacitance and dielectric loss of sample was measured by Tonghui Electronics TH2618 capacitor tester. The result of microstructure and electrical properties show that Nb2O5 inhibit crystal growth when the contents of Nb2O5 is less than 0.5.wt%, but excessive Nb2O5 cause pyrochlore phase producing while the contents of Nb2O5 more than 0.5wt.% . The excellent piezoelectric properties are achieved in the ceramics with 0.5wt.% Nb2O5:εr=1504,tanδ=0.0065,d33=336pC/N, kp=0.562.

Lead-free (1-x-y)Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-xBaTiO3-yBiFeO3 ceramics were synthesized by ordinary sintering technique. The compositional dependence of phase structure and electrical properties of the ceramics was systematically investigated. All samples possessed pure perovskite structure. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramics were investigated with the amount of different BiFeO3 substitutions. The addition of BiFeO3 can not only decrease Ec and Pr but also lead to a significant degradation of the dielectric loss tanδ.

Lead-free (1-x)K0.5Na0.5NbO3–xLiNbO3 piezoelectric ceramics have been prepared by a conventional solid state process. The phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. A polymorphic phase transition (PPT) between the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was identified in the composition range of 0.08<x<0.10. The ceramics near the PPT show better piezoelectric properties. At a level of 10mol% LiNbO3, the sample sintered at 1100oC for 1h exhibits optimal piezoelectric properties.

AbstractCeramics based on (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3 are promising candidates for actuator applications because of large strains generated by an electric field-induced phase transition. For example, the (1−x)(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-xSrTiO3 system exhibits a morphotropic phase boundary at x = 0.2–0.3, leading to high values of inverse piezoelectric constant d*33, which can be further improved by the use of single crystals. In our previous work, single crystals of (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-SrTiO3 and (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-CaTiO3 were grown by the solid state crystal growth technique. Growth in the (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-SrTiO3 system was sluggish whereas the (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-CaTiO3 single crystals grew well. In the present work, 0.8(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-0.2(Sr1−xCax)TiO3 single crystals (with x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) were produced by the solid state crystal growth technique in an attempt to improve crystal growth rate. The dependence of mean matrix grain size, single crystal growth distance, and electrical properties on the Ca concentration was investigated in detail. These investigations indicated that at x = 0.3 the matrix grain growth was suppressed and the driving force for single crystal growth was enhanced. Replacing Sr with Ca increased the shoulder temperature Ts and temperature of maximum relative permittivity Tmax, causing a decrease in inverse piezoelectric properties and a change from normal to incipient ferroelectric behavior.

Present investigation provides experimental studies on cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas (CDRAs) fabricated from SrTi1-xZrxO3ceramic with different substitution of Zr in place of Ti for (0 ≤ x ≤1). Ceramic powder were prepared using conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray Diffraction exposes physical properties Zr-doped SrTiO3which exhibit phase transition from cubic, tetragonal to orthorhombic phase. The electrical properties such as dielectric constant (εr) and dielectric loss (tan δ) were studied in variation of temperatures and frequencies. At room temperature the dielectric constant decreased from 240 to 21 with increase of Zr content however the amazing result was obtained for multiband antenna by Zr content. The dielectric loss obtain shows very low loss value roughly below 0.07 for all samples. The variations of return loss, resonance frequency and bandwidth of CDRAs at their respective resonant frequencies are studied experimentally.

The (1−x)(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-xSrTiO3 (NBT-100xST) system is a possible lead-free candidate for actuator applications because of its excellent strain vs. electric field behaviour. Use of single crystals instead of polycrystalline ceramics may lead to further improvement in piezoelectric properties but work on single crystal growth in this system is limited. In particular, the effect of composition on single crystal growth has yet to be studied. In this work, single crystals of (NBT-100xST) with x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 were grown using the method of Solid State Crystal Growth. [001]-oriented SrTiO3 single crystal seeds were embedded in (NBT-100xST) ceramic powder, which was then pressed to form pellets and sintered at 1200 °C for 5 min–50 h. Single crystal growth rate, matrix grain growth rate and sample microstructure were examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the highest single crystal growth rate was obtained at x = 0.20. The mixed control theory of grain growth is used to explain the single crystal and matrix grain growth behaviour.

The phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties of (1-x)Pb (ZryTi1-y)O3-xSm(Fe3+0.5,Nb5+0.5)O3(PZT–SFN) (with x = 2 %, 41%≤ y ≤57 %) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid state method, and effects of SFN and the Zr/Ti ratio content on the piezoelectric properties of PZT ceramics were mainly investigated. A stable solid solution has been formed between PZT and SFN, and a morphotropic phase boundary of PZT–SFN ceramics is identified in the range of 51% ≤ y ≤55 %. The Curie temperature of PZT–SFN ceramics decreases with increasing at Zr/Ti ratio content. A higher εrvalue and a lower tanδ value are demonstrated for the PZT–SFN ceramics with y = 53 %. The PZT–SFN ceramics with y = 53 % has an enhanced electrical behavior of kp~ 61.2 %, Qm~ 104, εr~ 566, tanδ ~ 2.02 % and TC~ 370OC. As a result, PZT–SFN ceramics are promising candidate materials for the field of lead piezoelectric materials and piezoelectric device.
