LEAD BARIUM POTASSIUM SODIUM NIOBATE CERAMICS FOR PIEZOELECTRIC APPLICATIONS
Abstract
This paper reports a systematic study of tungsten bronze morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) system Pb2-2X-3Y/2Ba2xREyK1-xNaxNb5O15, where, x = 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, RE = Pr and Bi and y = 0.05 and their structure, microstructure, hysteresis, dielectric, piezoelectric, and Pyroelectric properties. Enhanced piezoelectric constants kp, kt, k31, d31, d33, g31, g33, 
as 30.8%, 47.6%, 18.9%, 57 × 10-12C/N, 159 × 10-12C/N, 6.89 × 10-3mV/N, 19.23 × 10-3mV/N, and 13.88 × 10-12m2/N respectively are observed in the composition for which y = 0, and x = 0.30, which is above MPB. Also, a change in thickness, 0.0159 μm has been developed for a thickness of the sample 1.2 mm, d33 = 159 × 10-12C/N and for an applied voltage of 100 V. The same material produces a length extension, 0.0475 μm for d31 = 57 × 10-12C/N, l = 10 mm, t = 1.2 mm, for an applied voltage of 100 V. Thus the material may be useful for a piezoelectric transducer. Enhanced piezoelectric coefficients, d31 = 96 × 10-12C/N and g33 = 12.95 × 10-3mV/N are also observed in the composition for which RE = Pr and x = 0.25.
