To study various relaxation phenomena of $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ relaxor ferroelectrics, weak electric-field properties as well as strong electric-field properties were investigated in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. The temperature dependence of the dielectric properties were measured under the low electric-field of 1 V/mm in the phase transition temperature range from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $90^{\circ}C$. The dielectric properties obtained from the slope of the dielectric hysteresis loop and the temperature dependence of the pyroelectric properties were also investigated. When fitting all the experimental data with the Vogel-Fulcher relation, experimental data were agreed with the equation closely. Thus, dielectric relaxations could be modeled by the Vogel-Fulcher relation not only for the low electric-field but also for the high electric-field.

In this paper dielectric and electrostrictive strain properties of (1-y-x)Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_{3}$-PbTiO$_{3}$$-yPbTiO_{3}-xSrTiO_{3}[(1-y-x)PMN-yPT-xST]$ ceramics fabricated by using columbite precursor method have been investigated with the substitution of SrTiO$_{3}$(ST). Dielectric constant of the specimens increased with the increase of ST content up to 5[m/o] and decreased with further substitution of ST. And the pyrochlore phase decreased with the increase of ST content up to 5[m/o] in XRD analysis. The elimination of the pyrochlore phase improved dielectric constants. The electrostrictive strains generated by AC electric field have the highest value at 5[m/o] SrTiO$_{3}$ addition and the hysteresis of strain ranged from 12 to 20[%]. The electrostrictive strain at various temperature investigated in the temperature range of $-50[^{\circ}C]~74[^{\circ}C].$ In higher temperature than phase transition region, it showed paraelectric property which shows very small hystersis.

The PZT based piezoelectric thick films prepared by screen printing method have been mainly used as a functional material for MEMS applications due to their compatibility of MEMS process. However the screen printed thick films generally reveal poor electrical and mechanical properties because of their porous microstructure. To improve microstructure we mixed attrition milled powder with ball milled powder of 0.01Pb$(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3$-0.41Pb$(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$-$0.35PbTiO_3$-$0.23PbZrO_3$+0.1 wt% ${Y_2}{O_3}$+1.5 wt% ZnO composition. By mixing 25 % of attrition milled powder and 75 % of ball milled powder, the broadest particle size distribution was obtained, leading to a dense thick film with crack-free microstructure and improved dielectric properties. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the film was in wellcrystallized perovskite phase. The remanent polarization was increased from $13.7{\mu}C/cm^2$ to $23.3{\mu}C/cm^2$ at the addition of 25 % attrition milled powder.

The 0.9PMN-0.1PT powders was prepared by the sol-gel process, and the effect amounts of ${Mg(OC_{2}H_{5})}_2$ and ${Pb(CH_{3}COO)}_2.3H_{2}O$ as starting materials was studied. As a result the percent of perovskite phase of the calcined powders increased with increased calcination temperatures. Maximum of perovskite phase was at $850^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs. 0.9PMN-0.1PT powder by addition of 5 wt% excess ${Mg(OC_{2}H_{5})}_2$ crystallized to perovskite phase with a ${\fallingdotseq}100%$ yield.

Effects of thermal annealing on the dielectric/piezoelectric properties of $Pb(Zn, Mg)_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3-PbTiO_3$ ceramics (PZMNPT) with Zn/Mg=6/4) were examined across the rhombohedral/tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Both the relative dielectric permittivity ($\varepsilon$r)and the piezoelectric constant($d_33$)/electromechanical coupling constant ($k_p$)were increased by thermal annealing ($800^{\circ}$~$900^{\circ}C$) after sintering at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Based on the dielectric analysis using the series mixing model and the concept of a random distribution of the local Curie points, the observed improvements in the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PZMN-PT were interpreted in terms of the elimination of PbO-rich amorphous intergranular layers(~1nm) induced by thermal annealing. A concrete evidence of the presence of amorphous grain-boundary layers in the unannealed (as-sintered) specimen was obtained by examining the structure of intergranular region using a TEM.

고분해능 전자현미경과 컴퓨터 이미지 시뮬레이션이 La이 첨가되고 또한 첨가되지 않은 Pb(Mg/ sub 1/3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_{3}$고용체의 미세구조를 연구하기 위해서 사용되었다. 불규칙격자 영역의 격자 이미지는 정방정 형태와 유사 육방정 형태를 각각 보였다. 규칙격자 영역에서 Mg과 Nb의 비화학양론적인 규칙격자 구조 현상이 <111>방향에 따라 관찰되었다. 실험 격자 이미지와 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 이미지의 비교로부터, 규칙격자 구조를 가지는 영역의 장거리 규칙도는 0.2-0.7의 값을 가지고 있었고, 또한 규칙격자는 (NH$_{4}$)$_{3}$FeF$_{6}$결정구조를 가지고 있었다. 작은 값의 장거리 규칙도를 가지는 규칙격자를 가지는 영역에서, 변형률 파형이 관찰되지 않았다. 이것은 대부분 두 양이온이 그들의 위치에 있기 때문에, 원자 변위가 없었기 때문이다.
