Ceramics of Pb094Ba006(Zr052Ti048)O3+0.5%La2O3 for active elements of pyroelectric detectors

Abstract

Pyroelectric sensors based on ferroelectric ceramics found wide range of application in the fire protection systems, temperature control units of the energetic turbines etc. It is caused by low production costs and long ageing process in this kind of material. This paper contains the results of investigations upon the ceramics, that found application as active elements of pyroelectric detectors.
