Abstract
Templated Grain Growth (TGG) is a method of growing a matrix using crystallographically oriented seeds, allowing the manipulation of growth behavior by controlling their interfaces. We explore the surface treatment of seeds to enhance the piezoelectric properties of ceramics, focusing on 0.675Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.325PbTiO3 (PMN-32.5PT) and BaTiO3 (BT) seeds. Employing Ultra-Violet (UV) light treatment on BT seeds promotes grain growth around them, a method termed UV-TGG. Notably, this technique leads to substantial grain enlargement and an increase in the piezoelectric constant, all achieved without altering the composition of the seed or matrix materials. When using UV-TGG, there was a 140 % improvement in the d33×g33 value, which was 33.2 pm2/N compared to the conventional TGG's value of 23.7 pm2/N. The UV-TGG introduces an easy way to elevate ceramic performance and facilitate material design without altering composition.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
