Abstract
La-modified $PbTiO_{3}$(PLT) thin plates were prepared for the fabrication of PLT pyroelectric IR sensors. The effects of the preparation parameters such as tile sintering temperature, the La content, and the ambient powder quantity, on the microstructural and dielectric properties of PLT thin plates were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and measurements of relative density and dielectric properties. With an increased La content, the tetragonality c/a was decreased but the densification and the grain size were increased, which is considered to be due to the increased Pb vacancy concentration to maintain charge neutrality at the increased of La content. When the quantity of the ambient powder wvas increased, the tetragonality was slightly increased, which is believed io be due to the reduced evaporation of PbO. But the e(fect is insignificant compared to that of La content. The dielectric constant at room temperature was increased and the Curie temperature was decreased in accordance with the decreased tetragonality ratio c/a with the increase of La content. The dielectric constant and tan ${\delta}$ of $500{\mu}m$ thick PLT thin plate with 10 wt% excess PbO and 10 mol% La contant sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in ambient powder of $0.02\;g/cm^{3}$ were 360 and 0.02, respectively.
초전형 적외선센서를 제조하기 위하여 La가 첨가된 $PbTiO_{3}$(PLT)박편을 소결온도, La첨가량 및 소결시의 분위기분말의 양과 같은 제조조건을 달리하면서 제조하여 이에 따른 시편의 구조적 특성을 X-선 회절기, 전자현미경 및 상대밀도의 측정을 통하여, 유전특성을 유전상수와 큐리온도 등의 측정을 통하여 조사하였다. La 첨가랑이 증가함에 따라 정방성비 c/a는 감소하였으며, 상대밀도 및 입자의 크기는 증가하였다. 이는 La 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 전하중성을 유지하기 위한 Pb공공의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 소결시 분위기분말의 증가는 La 첨가에 따른 효과에 비해 미미하지만 정방성비를 미세하게나마 증가시켜 PbO의 휘발을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. La 첨가량에 따른 정방성비의 감소로 상온에서의 유전상수는 증가하였으며 큐리온도는 감소하였다.
