In this study, in order to develop the lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with high piezoelectric and dielectric properties, $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})(Nb_{0.97}Sb_{0.03})O_3$ ceramics were fabricated using a conventional mixed oxide process and their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated according to the $K_{5.4}Cu_{1.3}Ta_{10}O_{29}$ addition. $K_{5.4}Cu_{1.3}Ta_{10}O_{29}$ addition enhanced density, electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$ and mechanical quality factor($Q_m$). At the 0.9 mol% $K_{5.4}Cu_{1.3}Ta_{10}O_{29}$ addition, density, electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$), dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) and piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) of specimen showed the optimum values of 0.46, 471, and 148 pC/N, respectively.

In this paper, we investigated the output power, step-up ratio and efficiency properties of piezoelectric transformer with dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of manufactured ceramics. The piezoelectric transformers with $2.0$\times$10$\times$48[$mm^3$] size were fabricated and its electrical properties were measured. When output power of 6W was constantly maintained, T2 piezoelectric transformer showed the minimum temperature rise of $9(^{\circ}C)$ at $150(K\Omega)$ load resistance. However, T1 piezoelecric transformer showed the temperature rise of $7.2(^{\circ}C)$ at $200(K\Omega)$ load resistance. The 6[w] CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) was successfully driven by T1 and T2 piezoelectric transformer but, its temperature rise $\Delta$T[$^{\circ}C)$] was generated more than $20(^{\circ}C)$. It is concluded that we have to design the piezoelectric transformers so that its output impedance correspond to the load impeadance, including any stray capacitance.

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of silver doped $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3-Pb(Mn,W,Sb,Nb)O_3$ ceramics was examined. By varying the contents of silver(0.0, 0.4, 1.0 mol%), the effect of doped silver on PZT-PMWSN thin film was investigated at various sintering temperature(900, 1000, $1100^{\circ}C$). As increasing silver contents, the relative dielectric constant is increased and sinterbility is enhanced. At the specimen with 0.4 mol% Ag and sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor(kp), mechanical quality factor(Qm), dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}r$) and dielectric loss were 0.502, 811, 991, 0.006, respectively. The results show that the PZT-PMWSN/Ag composites have enhanced piezoelectic and dielectric properties and processing condition is improved.

In order to develop the composition ceramics capable of being sintered at low temperature with high piezoelectric properties for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application, PZW-PMN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured according to sintering aid $Li_2CO_3$ addition and their microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure of the specimens showed a perovskite phase and no pyrochlore or other second phase was detected. At the sintering temperature of $900\;^{\circ}C,\;0.2\;wt%Li_2CO_3$ added specimen showed a optimum values of kp = 0.562, $d_{33}\;=\;360\;pC/N$ and Qm = 1184, respectively.

A lead free piezoelectric material, bismuth sodium barium titanate $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.94}Ba_{0.06}TiO_3$ (BNBT), was considered as an environment-friendly alternatives for the current PZT system. A perovskite BNBT was synthesized by conventional bulk ceramic processing technique. In order to improve piezoelectric properties, $La_2O_3$ as a dopant was incorporated into the BNBT system up to 0.025 moi, ana the effects on subsequent the piezoelectric ana dielectric properties were systematically investigated. With increasing $La_2O_3$ contents, the equilibrium grain shape was remarkably evidenced and sintered density was increased. Piezoelectric and dielectric properties were s]town to have maximum values at the $La_2O_3$ contents of 0.02 mol. $La^{3+}$ ions seemed to act as a softener in the BNBT system and to enhance dielectric and piezoelectric properties in this study.

In this paper, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, $Pb[(Mn_{1/3},Nb_{2/3})_{0.07}(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_a(Zr_{0.48}Ti_{0.52})_{1-0.07-a}O_3]$ ceramics were manufactured with the variations of PZN from 2 to 14mol% and their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. Sintering temperature was varied from 910 to $1000^{\circ}C$. At 8mol% PZN substituted specimen sintered at $970^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor(kp), mechanical quality factor(Qm), dielectric constant and peizoelectric constant($d_{33}$) showed the optimal values of 0.536, 1803, 1551 and 328[pC/N), respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric transformer application.

In this study piezoelectric and dielectric properties of $Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_{3}$ ceramics were investigated with $Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}$ substitution. As the $Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}$ substitution was increased, dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor (kp) were increased while mechanical quality factor decreased.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Pb$_0.9$La$_0.1$TiO$_3$ ceramics were investigated as a function of grain size. Sintering atmosphere was controlled with changing the kind of atmospheric powder and its amount. It was confirmed that dielectric and piezoelectric of Pb$_0.9$La$_0.1$TiO$_3$ were strongly influenced by the sintering atmosphere. Relative dielectric constant of Pb$_0.9$La$_0.1$TiO$_3$ which was sintered in PbO-deficient atmosphere made by Pb$_0.9$La$_0.1$TiO$_3$ powder, increased with the grain size. However, the dielectric constant of the samples sintered in the PbO-sufficient atmosphere made by PbZrO$_3$ powder was slightly decreased with the grain size. Piezoelectric d$_33$ constant of Pb$_0.9$La$_0.1$TiO$_3$ also showed a different trend, depending on the sintering atmosphere. It was almost constant in the range of grain size of 1.3~2.3 $\mu$m when the samples were sintered in the PbO-sufficient atmosphere, while it intensively decreased with the grain size in the case of the PbO-deficient condition.

The effect of 0-0.7 ㏖% addition of $Cr_2$$O_3$on the dielectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric properties were studied in the (Mg$0.7Pb_{1}$$3/Nb_{2}$3/)$O_3$-$0.3PbTiO_3$(0.7PMN-0.3PT) ceramics with composition near the morphotropic phase boundary. The dielectric constant and loss of the ceramics samples were measured as a function of temperature at various frequencies (0.1-100 KHz). The pyroelectric coefficient was measured by using the Byer-Roundy method as a function of temperature. Dielectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric constant achieved the maximum values of 0.4 ㏖% $Cr_2$$O_3$The transition temperature is continuously shifted to lower temperature with an increase of a small amount of $Cr_2$$O_3$.
