Effect of Sintering Parameter on Ferroelectric Properties in PZT Based Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research was conducted to improve the ferroelectric properties of PZT based ceramics by studying the effect of sintering conditions in terms of temperature and soaking time (time of sintering) on the ferroelectric properties of ceramics in the 0.8Pb (Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3-0.2Pb (Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 system prepared by vibro-milling mixed-oxide method. The XRD patterns of specimens showed perovskite structure for all compositions. The pyrochlore phase was not observed in this system. The sintering temperature and soaking time affects the ferroelectric properties of ceramics by the optimum sintering condition for 0.8PZT-0.2PZN ceramic is sintered at 1250°C for 2h.
