Characterization of multilayered piezoelectric ceramics for high power transducers

In some circumstances, large vibrational displacements at ultrasonic frequency must be generated using a low voltage drive. This result cannot be obtained with monolithic PZT ceramics which require voltages larger than 1000 V to produce displacements of the micrometer order at resonance. The use of multilayered hard lead zirconate titanate ceramics as transduction material in resonant devices is experimentally investigated for Langevin-type transducers. Large amplitudes are obtained under low drive (5 microm under 10 V). Material constant (compliance, losses) variations under large dynamic stress are, at least, one order of magnitude larger than for monolithic ceramics. Depolarization is found to be a critical issue when the transducer is driven continuously. It is demonstrated that this problem can be solved by polishing the interfaces between different parts of the device and applying an electrical DC bias to the transducer.     

Nonlinear piezoelectricity in PZT ceramics for generating ultrasonic phase conjugate waves

We have succeeded in the generation of acoustic phase conjugate waves with nonlinear PZT piezoelectric ceramics and applied them to ultrasonic imaging systems. Our aim is to make a phase conjugator with 100% efficiency. For this purpose, it is important to clarify the mechanism of acoustic phase conjugation through nonlinear piezoelectricity. The process is explained by the parametric interaction via the third-order nonlinear piezoelectricity between the incident acoustic wave at angular frequency omega and the pump electric field at 2 omega. We solved the coupling equations including the third-ordered nonlinear piezoelectricity and theoretically derived the amplitude efficiency of the acoustic phase conjugation. We compared the efficiencies between the theoretical and experimental values for PZT ceramics with eight different compositions. Pb[(Zn1/3Nb2/3)(1 - x)Tix]O3 (X = 0.09, PZNT91/9) piezoelectric single crystals have been investigated for high-performance ultrasonic transducer application, because these have large piezoelectric constants, high electrical-mechanical coupling factors and high dielectric constants. We found that they have third-order nonlinear piezoelectric constants much larger than PZT and are hopeful that the material as a phase conjugator has over 100% efficiency.     

Reversible polarization of ferroelectric ceramics in a rapid-growing electric field

The complex permittivity of ferroelectric PZT ceramics with different compositions was measured in a pulsed rapid-growing electric field. The time dependence of the real component exhibits three peaks. The dips between them correlate with imaginary component peaks. Domain mechanisms that contribute to the ferroelectric polarization and are responsible for the time dependences are considered.     

Comparison of several methods to characterise the high frequency behaviour of piezoelectric ceramics for transducer applications

Thickness mode resonances in commercial piezoelectric ceramics have been characterised as a function of frequency by two methods. The first is based on a fit on the electrical impedance for the fundamental and the overtones. This method has been applied to a large number of PZT ceramic samples and frequency dependence for all the parameters is investigated, in particular for the piezoelectric coefficient e33. The second is based on the measurement of the mechanical displacement at the centre of the surface of a PZT ceramic disk. With a modified KLM scheme, this displacement is modelled. The dielectric, elastic and piezoelectric parameters are extracted and compared for the fundamental and the third overtone. The results are found to be in good agreement.     

Uniaxial stress dependence of ferroelectric properties of xPMN-(1–x)PZT ceramic systems

Effects of uniaxial compressive pre-stress on the ferroelectric properties of ceramics in the PMN-PZT system are investigated. The ceramics with a formula xPb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-(1-x)Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ or xPMN-(1-x)PZT when x=0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 1.0 are prepared by a conventional mixed-oxide method. The ferroelectric properties under the uniaxial compressive pre-stress of the PMN-PZT ceramics are observed at the stress levels up to 13 MPa using a compressometer in conjunction with a modified Sawyer–Tower circuit. It is found that with increasing compressive pre-stress levels the area of the ferroelectric hysteresis (P–E) loops, the saturation polarization (P_sat), the remanent polarization (P_r), and the coercive field (E_c) decrease. These results are interpreted through the non-180° ferroelastic domain-switching processes. Finally, the calculated differential permittivity for all the xPMN-(1-x)PZT ceramics, except for 0.5 PMN-0.5 PZT, decreases with increasing applied stress. PACS 77.22.Ch; 77.84.Dy

Comprehensive studies on dielectric properties of p-methoxy benzylidene p-decyl aniline with function of temperature and frequency in planar geometry: A potential nematic liquid crystal for display devices

The dielectric properties of the nematic mesophase, p-methoxy benzylidene p-decyl aniline(MBDA), measured in planar geometry with a function of frequency and temperature are investigated in detail. The complex dielectric permittivity(ε' and ε') is also studied at a bias voltage of 10 V for planar aligned sample cell of nematic mesophase. The dielectric permittivity with bias voltage attains a higher( 2 times) value than that without bias voltage at a temperature of 56℃,which is due to the fact that the linking group of nematic molecules is internally interacted with an applied bias voltage.This is supported by observing an enhanced dielectric permittivity of nematic liquid crystal(LC) in the presence of bias voltage, which can be fully explained as the increasing of the corresponding dipole moment. The dielectric relaxation behaviors of nematic LC are also demonstrated for planar aligned sample cell. The remarkable results are observed that the relaxation frequency shifts into low frequency region with the increase of the bias voltage applied to the planar aligned sample cells. The dielectric relaxation spectra are fitted by Cole–Cole nonlinear curve fitting for nematic mesophase in order to determine the dielectric strength.     

Mechanical Reinforcement and Piezoelectric Properties of PZT Ceramics Embedded with Nano-Crystalline

The double-scale lead zirconate titanate （PZT） piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the solid state processing with PZT nano-crystalline and micro-powder. The microstructures, electrical and mechanical properties of the double-scale PZT are investigated. All the sintered ceramics exhibit a single perovskite structure and the grain size of the dou ble-scale PZT reduces due to the incorporation of PZT nano-crystalline. Compared to normal PZT, the mechanical properties increase significantly and the piezoelectric properties decrease slightly. Mechanisms responsible for the reinforcement of the double-scale PZT are discussed.

A model for the dependence of the dielectric loss factor of a ferroelectric on the microwave signal amplitude

The nonlinear phenomena occurring in ferroelectrics were studied using a model for the dependence of the ferroelectric polarization on the amplitude of the applied field. The inclusion of the static internal defect field made it possible to determine the dependence of the complex permittivity of a ferroelectric on the dc electric field strength. The dependences of the complex permittivity and the dielectric loss factor on the amplitude of microwave oscillations were obtained using the Poynting theorem for harmonic microwave oscillations.

Grain-size effect in BaTiO3 ceramics: study by far infrared spectroscopy

The article offers comparative study of two nanocrystalline (50 and 100?nm averaged grain size) and two coarse-grain (1.2 and 10?µm averaged grain size) ceramics by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in a broad temperature range (10–570?K). Far infrared reflectivity spectra were fitted with the factorized model of the dielectric function and the evaluated dielectric function was compared with the results of low-frequency dielectric measurements. It appears that the stiffening and weakening of the overdamped soft mode is the only reason for the reduced dielectric permittivity of nanocrystalline ceramics in the paraelectric phase, but a strong grain-size dependence of the dielectric constant in the ferroelectric phase is not connected with the changes in lattice dynamics. All single-crystal symmetry changes were detected in all of the samples, but no phase-transition discontinuities was seen in nanocrystalline ceramics. A coexistence of more than one phase is suggested. Strong dependence of the Curie-Weiss temperature on the grain size, earlier revealed by others, is confirmed.

Bias field effects on the dielectric properties of 0.67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.33PbTiO3 single crystals with different orientations

The domain states and phase transitions in 0.67Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-0.33PbTiO₃ single crystals were investigated by studying their relative permittivity under various dc bias at constant heating and cooling rates. The orientation dependence of the bias field effect was revealed by examining the temperature dependence of relative permittivity as a function of crystal orientation (the 〈111〉, 〈011〉 and 〈001〉 directions) and dc bias field. The crystals basically have a macrodomain rhombohedral ferroelectric state in the ferroelectric phase under zero dc bias. External bias field could modulate the domain state and induce a stable macrodomain state in the crystals. Also, it is proposed that the dc bias applied along the 〈001〉 or 〈011〉 direction could induce a tetragonal ferroelectric phase or an orthorhombic ferroelectric phase, respectively, in an intermediate temperature range.     

Insights into the regulation mechanism of ring-shaped magnetoelectric energy harvesters via mechanical and magnetic conditions

This paper presents a theoretical model for predicting and tuning magnetoelectric(ME) effect of ring-shaped composites, in which stress boundary conditions are empoyed and the multi-field coupling property of giant magnetostrictive materials are taken into account. A linear analytical solutions for the closed-and open-circuit ME voltages are derived simultaneously using mechanical differential equations, interface and boundary conditions, and electrical equations. For nonlinear ME coupling effect, the nonlinear multi-field coupling constitutive equation is reduced to an equivalent form by expanding the strains as a Taylor series in the vicinity of bias magnetic field. Sequentially, the linear model is generalized to a nonlinear one involving the field-dependent material parameters. The results show that setting a stress-free condition is beneficial for reducing resonance frequency while applying clamped conditions on the inner and outer boundaries may improve the maximum output power density. In addition, performing stress conditions on one of the boundaries may enhance ME coupling significantly, without changing the corresponding resonance frequency and optimal resistance. When external stimuli like bias magnetic field and pre-stress are applied to the ring-shaped composites, a novel dual peak phenomenon in the ME voltage curve around resonance frequencies is revealed theoretically, indicating that strong ME coupling may be achieved within a wider bias field region. Eventually, the mutual coordination of the bias field and pre-stress may enhance ME coupling as well as tuning the resonance frequency, and thus is pivotal for tunable control of ME energy harvesters. The proposed model can be applied to design high-performance energy harvesters by manipulating the mechanical conditions and external stimuli.

Reversible permittivity of multicomponent PMN-PT-based ceramics

The reversible permittivity of Ba-doped ceramics of the multicomponent system mPMN-nPNN-yPZN-xPT (m = 0.1298–0.4844, n = 0.1266–0.4326, y = 0.0842–0.130, x = 0.25–0.40) is studied. The reversible permittivities of cubic, heterophase, and tetragonal ceramics are analyzed under various experimental conditions, such as the measuring ac electric field frequency and the time of residence in a dc bias electric field. The transformation of permittivity minima into a plateau and the subsequent disappearance of all anomalies as the lead titanate concentration decreases are assumed to be related to a change in the initial domain structure of the material. A diagram illustrating the dependence of the tunability coefficient on the lead titanate concentration is plotted, and the ceramic compositions that correspond to the characteristic dependences of reversible permittivity are determined.
