The ceramic has superior piezoelectric properties as compared with conventional PZT ceramics, which so far have been thought to be the best binary piezoelectric ceramic materials. One of the big advantages of relaxor-PT systems compared with PZT is the ease with which single crystals of the MPB composition can be grown. These single crystals generally have superior properties compared with the ceramics if the appropriate axis is utilized.

Additions of MnO/sub 2/ to PZT can result in materials with zero temperature coefficients and low propagation losses. The available Q/sub m/'s of PZT materials however, can limit their usefulness in energy-critical applications. In this work, a novel approach to improving the performance of PZT was attempted. The effect of both a dopant atom (Mn) and electron dopant pyrochlore phase, Sr/sub 2/Sb/sub 2/O/sub 7/, were examined. MnO/sub 2/ was added at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% levels while the pyrochlore was added at the 5 mol% level. It was postulated that the pyrochlore phase might limit grain growth and reduce domain motion, thus increasing Q/sub m/. It was further postulated that compositions with both the pyrochlore and Mn doping should yield even greater Q/sub m/ values. Properties of interest, k/sub p/, Q/sub m/, e, and loss, were measured by the resonance method. In summary, Mn doping was effective in improving properties. Pyrochlore additions did reduce grain size; however, the properties were degraded.","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.

Results showed that a temperature rise contributes to an increasing rate of logarithmic decay in the fatigue profile. We distinguish two thermally dependent stages during fatigue; each plotted as separate Arrhenius relationships. The first stage has an experimentally measured activation energy of 0.22 eV while the second stage has a measured value of 0.042 eV. The physical basis for these activation energies has not been identified due to the complexity of interactions occurring during the switching reversals. Even so, the measured values give some indication of the types of defects and the mechanisms responsible in each stage.","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.
