Abstract:

View of the importance that has the development in the field of advanced technology transmission in human life, smart materials draws the attention of many researchers. In this contribution, we are interested in synthesizing a new smart material of the ceramic type based on Pb, Zr, Ti (PZT) doped La in the site A, and Sb, Zn in site B from a solid solution of pure oxides. The synthesized samples are thermally treated at 800°C. The techniques of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) are used to characterize the microstructure (the crystallographic phase), and the densities of the obtained samples were determined from their weights and volumes. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure properties was studied.
