Abstract
Temperature sensitivity of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramics based on potassium sodium niobate (KNN) has posed a significant challenge for practical applications. In this study, we developed a multi-layer symmetric KNN matrix composite ceramic in a strategy of compositional symmetry to enhance the thermal stability of its piezoelectric properties. The optimized piezoelectric properties of d33 and kp can last up to 121 and 105 °C (setting 10% performance reduction as standard), superior to its single composition sample. Importantly, the compositional symmetry effectively addresses the deformation issue during ceramic sintering. This finding of stability in KNN matrix ceramics will facilitate its industrial-scale production processes.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
