    Notes: The effect of barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) additions on the electrical properties of lead lanthanum zirconate stannate titanate (PLZST) ceramics and their electrically induced phase change behavior was examined. Sr additions decreased both the ferroelectric (FE) ↔ antiferroelectric (AFE) transition temperature (TAFE-FE) and the temperature of the maximum dielectric constant (TMAX). This indicates that Sr additions stabilize the AFE phase. Along with B-site modifications Sr additions can be used to decrease the switching field and hysteresis. Ba additions caused the temperature range of the AFE phase to narrow by increasing TAFE-FE and decreasing TMAX. This behavior indicates an ability to lower the switching field and suppress hysteresis. Using a combination of both A-site and B-site modifications it is possible to tailor the properties (for example, switching field, hysteresis, and operating temperature range) of this group of phase change materials to meet the requirements of specific applications.

    Notes: The electric field induced phase transition behavior of lead lanthanum zirconate titanate stannate (PLZTS) ceramics was investigated. PLZTS undergoes a tetragonal antiferroelectric (AFETet) to rhombohedral ferroelectric (FERh) phase transition with the application of an electric field. The volume increase associated with this antiferroelectric (AFE)–ferroelectric (FE) phase transition plays an important role with respect to actuator applications. This volume increase involves an increase in both transverse and longitudinal strains. The E field at which the transverse strain increases is accompanied by an abrupt jump in polarization. The longitudinal strain, however, lags behind this polarization jump exhibiting a slight decrease at the onset of phase switching. This decoupling was related to the preferentially oriented AFE domain configuration, with its tetragonal c-axis perpendicular to the applied electric field. It is suggested that phase switching involves multiple steps involving both structural transformation and domain reorientation. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Fine-scale fibers with diameters 〈100 µm were prepared using metal alkoxide precursors. Variables that influence fiber drawing and fiber properties in the lead zirconate titanate (PZT) compositional system were investigated to obtain the processing conditions necessary to fabricate high-quality fibers. The gel-to-ceramic conversion was characterized. In addition to drying, firing cycles at temperatures 〉650°C were needed to achieve phase-pure perovskite fibers. Dense fibers with diameters of 10-70 µm and grain sizes 〈1 µm were found with sintering temperatures up to 1000°C. Increasing the firing temperature to 1200°C for 30 min resulted in grain growth up to 2.5 µm. Electrical properties of both lanthanum-doped and undoped PZT fibers were measured and were comparable to bulk disks fabricated using powder derived from the same sol.

    Notes: Abstract Three techniques for measuring high voltage/power piezoelectric properties, which have been developed recently, are compared: a voltage-constant piezoelectric resonance method, a current-constant piezoelectric resonance method, and a pulse drive method. The conventional resonance method with a constant voltage circuit exhibits significant distortion (or a hysteresis) in the resonance frequency spectrum under a high vibration level due to large elastic non-linearity, which limits precise determination of the electromechanical coupling parameters. To the contrary, the resonance method with a constant current circuit (i.e., constant velocity) can determine the coupling parameters more precisely from a perfectly-symmetrical resonance spectrum. The general problem in both resonance methods is heat generation in the sample during the measurement. In order to separate the temperature characteristic from the non-linearity, it is recommended that the pulse method be used in parallel, even though the accuracy is not very high.
