Abstract:

La-doped Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.67Ti0.33O3 ceramics were fabricated by a two-stage sintering method from conventional raw materials. The effects of La doping on the phase structure and electrical properties of ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the pyrochlore phase increased with the increase of La-doping level. The effects of La doping on the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics were also investigated. The results showed that La doping seriously weakened the electrical properties of the ceramics. The ceramics possess optimum properties (d33=239pC/N, Pr=10.6μC/cm2, Ec=8.5kV/cm, tanδ=0.029, εr = 2250) when the doping level is low (x = 0.02).
