Article Preview

Abstract:

Pb (Zr0.35Ti0.65)1-xSnxO3 (PZST) piezoelectric ceramics with ABO3 perovskite structure were synthesized using Solid state reaction technique. The piezoelectric, ferroelectric and dielectric behavior of PZST piezoceramics was studied systematically by varying the amount of Sn at fixed Zr/Ti ratio. It was found that sample containing Sn= 0.26 exhibit maximum piezoelectric coefficient of 324 pC/N and minimum tangent loss of 0.009. Decrease in tetragonality and Curie Temperature (Tc) was observed with the increase of Sn content. The polarization–electric field hysteresis loops for all compositions were studied and it was observed that the sample containing Sn= 0.26 exhibit maximum polarization of 0.3C/m2. The synthesized PZST compositions can be utilized for Pressure sensors and maritime SONAR applications. Keywords: Piezoelectric, PZST ceramics, ferroelectric, Domains
