Electrical Studies on PZT Ceramic

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polycrystalline sample of PZT (52/48) was prepared by solid-state reaction method. X-ray analysis indicated the formation of single-phase. Electrical and impedance-spectroscopy plots were employed to analyze the electrical behavior of the sample, as a function of frequency, in the range of 0.01 Hz to 1 M Hz at different temperatures. Spectroscopic and complex plots indicated non-Debye dielectric relaxation. Detailed electrical studies revealed that the conduction is through hoping of electrons (extrinsic region) at lowers temperature and migration of oxygen vacancies at high temperature (intrinsic region). The results are explained using Euryod’s conduction model and confirmed with pyroelectric and ferroelectric data.
