Abstract: | Polycrystalline samples of Fe-modified PLZT (lead lanthanum zirconate titanate) are prepared by a mixed-oxide reaction technique.
The formation of the compound has been confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction studies. The unit cell structure of the material
has been found to be rhombohedral. Fourier-transform infrared reflection (FTIR) spectra have been recorded to correspond the
structural changes associated with the phase formation. The effects of Fe concentration on the microstructure and dielectric
constant of PLZT materials have been investigated. The ferroelectric phase transition of PLFZT materials is studied using
dielectric measurements, which shows a shift in the transition temperature towards the higher-temperature side with increased
Fe ion concentration. The piezoelectric constants of this system are investigated by the same way of changed contents of Fe
ion in the main PLZT compound. The optimum values of Qm, kp, and d33 are 73, 0.32 and 406. The electrical conductivity increases with the increase in Fe ion concentration.
