The aim of this work was to obtain Pb0.92(La0.08)(Zr0.65Ti0.35)0.98O3 materials co-doped with two different lanthanide ions (Ln3+) and characterization how they influence on the physical properties of prepared 8/65/35 PLZT: Ln3+ ceramics. As a co-dopant, praseodymium (Pr3+) and neodymium (Nd3+) ions were used at the concentration of 0.0 and 0.5 wt.% respectively. The ceramic powders of 8/65/35 PLZT, PLZT:Pr3+ as well PLZT:Nd3+ were synthesized by conventional ceramic route, from high purity raw oxide materials (>99,9%). All compositions of the ceramic samples were sintered via single time process at Ts=1200°C/3h, by the hot uniaxial pressing method. Performed measurements have shown dependence of used dopant on structure, microstructure, and dielectric as well optical properties of the fabricated 8/65/35 PLZT: Ln3+ materials.

Lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (known as PLZT) ceramic powders have been prepared by the modified sol – gel method, and underwent consolidation by the hot uniaxial pressing method. Application of such technique of preparation permitted to receive fine-grained transparent PLZT x/65/35 ceramics, with x = 8 -10 La at.%. The present publication gives a detailed account of the relationships between technology and physical properties of obtained materials. To analyze all ceramics SEM, EDS and mercury porosimetry were performed, and dielectric properties were studied too. Quite wide light transparency from the visible to nearinfrared range for PLZT ceramics was detected using optical absorption and infrared spectroscopy.

AbstractRecent advances in the processing of complex-oxide materials has allowed us to monolithically grow ferroelectrics of lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) and barium strontium titanate (BST) systems on a GaN/sapphire structure. High quality films of PLZT and BST were grown on GaN/c-Al2O3 in a thickness range of 0.3-5 [.proportional]m by a solgel technique. Field-induced birefringence, as large as 0.02, was measured from a PLZT layer grown on a buffered GaN/sapphire structure. UV illumination was found to result in more symmetrical electrooptic hysteresis loop. BST films on GaN demonstrated a low frequency dielectric constant of up to 800 with leakage current density as low as 5.5.10−8 A/cm2.
