A longitudinal (1−x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 single-crystal piezoelectric transformer

In present work, a simple longitudinal piezoelectric transformer with the size of 16-mm length, 2-mm width, and 2-mm thickness was designed and fabricated with relaxor ferroelectric single-crystal (1−x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-xPbTiO₃. Both the input and output parts utilized the ultrahigh longitudinal extensional electromechanical coupling coefficients. Compared to the Rosen-type transformer, this transformer has the advantages of smaller-size, simpler structure, no spurious vibration, and no acoustic mismatch between the input and output parts. The electrical measurement results indicated that under the resonance frequency of 114 kHz, a step-up voltage of about 30 can be obtained under a 10-MΩ load resistance, which agreed well with the calculated results. Besides, the frequency and load dependences of this transformer were also systematically studied and discussed. The results indicated that this transformer has potential applications in the small-size high-voltage amplifier and magnetoelectric/piezoelectric-transformer composite transducers.

Effects of Zr/Ti ratio on dielectric and ferroelectric properties of 0.8Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3–0.2Pb(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics

The influences of Zr/Ti ratio on electrical properties of the 0.8Pb(Zr_xTi_1−x)O₃–0.2Pb(Co_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ ceramics prepared by a mixed-oxide method (with x = 0.46, 0.48, 0.50, 0.52, and 0.54) have been investigated in order to identify the morphotropic phase boundary composition in this system. With XRD analysis, the crystal structure of dense specimens appeared to change gradually from tetragonal to rhombohedral with increasing Zr content. The dielectric properties measurements showed a maximum dielectric constant at x = 0.50, while the transition temperature decreased with increasing Zr content in the system. Moreover, all ceramics showed diffused phase transition behaviors with a minimum diffusivity at x = 0.50. In addition, the Polarization–Electric field (P–E) hysteresis loops of the ceramic systems also changed significantly with the Zr content. Interestingly, the loop squareness parameter reached maximum around x = 0.50. Other ferroelectric hysteresis parameters showed noticeable change at x = 0.50. These results clearly showed the significance of Zr/Ti ratio in controlling the electrical properties of the PZT–PCN ceramic systems.     

Synthesis and electrical properties of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 ceramics

Ceramic compositions of a combination between lead magnesium niobate, Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃, and lead titanate, PbTiO₃, were fabricated by using Mg₄Nb₂O₉ precursor technique. Their electrical properties with respect to temperature and frequency were examined and the effect of sintering conditions on phase formation, densification, microstructure and electrical properties of the ceramics were examined. It has been found that optimisation of sintering condition can lead to a highly dense and pyrochlore-free PMN–PT ceramics. The gradual decreasing of the physical properties of the sintered ceramics was related to the gradual decrease of density and inhomogeneous microstructure. The results also revealed that for the lower concentration of lead titanate a relaxor behavior is noticed with a high electrostrictive effect, which was almost hysteretic free. However, higher amount of lead titanate led to a normal ferroelectric behavior.

Elastic–plastic deformation of Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–(6–7)% PbTiO3 single crystals during nanoindentation

The elastic–plastic deformation behavior of (001)- and (011)-oriented single crystal solid solutions of Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–(6–7)% PbTiO₃ (PZN–PT) have been studied using a nanoindentation technique. A procedure is presented here to isolate the elastic, elastic–plastic and plastic contributions to the deformation using the unloading data, and a parameter, referred to as relaxation, is defined to characterize the elastic–plastic deformation during nanoindentations. This relaxation parameter increases with the maximum indentation load due to the higher indentation stress induced, and it also causes less recovery of the material upon indentation unloading compared to predicted pure elastic recovery. For a (001) surface, the relaxation value remains virtually unchanged within the range of the maximum indentation load of 10–50 mN, possibly due to a complete localized depoling of the non-180° domain switching. It is also found that the unpoled surface is more prone to stress-induced depolarization compared to the poled surfaces. Furthermore, by applying the continuous stiffness measurement (CSM) technique, the effects of multiple loading/unloading are studied for both (001)- and (011)-oriented PZN–PTs using the maximum indentation loads of 20 and 50 mN. With more loading/unloading cycles at higher CSM frequencies, stress-induced depolarization becomes prevalent and the contribution of the domain reorientation towards elastic recovery is significantly reduced. As a consequence, the relaxation value is increased, indicating more elastic–plastic deformation. This CSM effect is especially pronounced for poled (011) surfaces.     

钙钛石结构Pb(Zn_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_3的高温高压合成

1961年Bokov和Mylnikova以PbO作助熔剂,从溶体中长出钙钛石结构的Pb(Zn_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_3晶体,且具有铁电性。然而,用一般常压固相反应方法,却得不到钙钛石结构的Pb(Zn_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_3,而只能得到烧绿石结构的Pb_2Nb_2O_7,其固相反应式为 3PbO ZnO Nb_2O_5→Pb_2Nb_2O_7 PbO ZnO。这可能是因为Zn—O间的共价键较强,Zn易于保持为4配位结构。 钙钛石结构为高密度相,ABO_3型钙钛石化合物中B原子配位数为6。高压有利于形成高密度相,使配位数增加。因此,Matsuo等人试图用高压固相反应方法,制备钙钛石结构的Pb(Zn_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_3 。他们在15—25千巴,600—1100℃进行固相反应,结果得到在
