In addition, just as a field can align molecules in a nematic liquid with the axis of greatest polarizability in the direction of the applied field, it is possible that the polar axis in a crystallite may also be aligned during the high temperature densification process. This may improve the electric or piezoelectric properties of certain low symmetry ferroelectric materials. The idea is to combine crystallographic alignment, densification and poling all into one step, and approach single crystal-like properties in a polycrystalline ceramic. Electric fields (both DC and AC) were applied transverse to the forging direction of the low symmetry ferroelectric Bi/sub 4/Ti/sub 3/O/sub 12/. The AC field was found to have little influence on crystallographic orientation. The DC field was found to have a profound effect; aligning the polar axis during forging, and yielding further anisotropy in the ferroelectric hysteresis.","PeriodicalId":20488,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics","volume":"55 1","pages":"126-129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91477920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of the presence of a full set of ferroelectric properties no anomalies in the temperature dependence of the unit cell parameter at phase transition were observed. The only evidence of the presence of the structural phase transition to a cubic phase was the essential decrease of intensity of X-ray reflections with an odd sum of indices as in the epitaxial films.

However, these compositions typically do not densify well in thick film form at characteristic firing temperatures (850/spl sim/900/spl deg/C), and thus require encapsulants to provide environmental stability. In this paper, ferroelectric compositions that can be fired at low temperatures with useful dielectric properties for thick film application are presented based on the combination of Pb(Mg/sub 1/3/Nb/sub 2/3/)O/sub 3/ (PMN)-PbTiO/sub 3/ (PT) with Pb/sub 5/Ge/sub 2/SiO/sub 11/ (PGS). The PGS melts at /spl ap/724/spl deg/C, and causes liquid phase sintering of the PMN-PT at low temperatures. Thick film samples of PMN-PT with 30 weight percent PGS and 5 weight percent PbO additions densify to closed porosity fired at 850/spl deg/C for 10 minutes with a room temperature 1 KHz dielectric constant greater than 1500 and a dissipation factor less than 6%.

The present work was carried out in order to identify the processing variables which are most important in effecting this reduction in loss. The materials were prepared by conventional solid state reaction and subjected to a variety of HIPing and annealing conditions.
