The study of dielectric, pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties on hot pressed PZT-PMN systems

Abstract

Hot uniaxial pressing technique has been adopted for the densification of PZT-PMN system with an aim to yield dense ceramics and to lower the sintering temperature and time for achieving better and reproducible electronic properties. The ceramics having >97% theoretical density and micron size grains are investigated for their dielectric, pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties. The effect of Li and Mn addition has also been studied. © 2012 Author(s). This article is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
