In this study, the AFE-FE switching of lead lanthanum stannate zirconate titanate (PLSnZT) was investigated and efforts were made to find high strain compositions with low switching field and hysteresis. Compositional modifications on both the A- and B- site were attempted in order to modify material properties. The B-site modifications were completed through manipulation of the Ti:Sn and Zr:Sn ratios. On the other hand, the A-site modifications were accomplished by the addition of Ba and Sr. It was demonstrated that one can tailor material properties to fit specific application requirements through compositional modifications.","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.

The intent of this work is to study the effect of the oxide additive on the crystal structure of BSTO and compare it to its bulk ceramic counterpart. Glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman), and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were utilized in this work. Since the bulk ceramics of these composites of BSTO have already been implemented in low loss electronic scanning antennas, it is necessary to characterize the material in its thin film form for applications at higher microwave frequencies (>35 GHz).","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.

Suppression of PbO-evaporation and usability of cost effective electrode materials have been the main reasons. We succeeded in reducing T/sub s/ of soft-PZT down to 780/spl deg/C by creating liquid phases during sintering. Consequently, the fabrication of components with high surface to volume ratio became possible. For example, dense PZT thick films (thickness 50...150 /spl mu/m) on alumina, showing high remanent polarization (20 /spl mu/C/cm/sup 2/) and high mechanical strength were prepared. In order to raise operation frequency and temperature the development of low-sintering hard-PZT has been investigated. This task turned out to be more difficult, because most eutectic additives tend to reduce Curie temperature T/sub c/ likewise. Nevertheless, a special modification has been found giving a hard-PZT (i.e. T/sub c/=350/spl deg/C) that densifies already at T/sub s/=1050/spl deg/C/2h. The paper reports on our compositional development of low-sintering PZT-ceramics together with its impact on the design and performance of advanced actuators.","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.

Careful control of the dispersion and the spinning conditions produces continuous green fiber of sufficient handling strength to weave into plies or cut for use in \"pick-and-place\" layups.
