The impact of different mixing methods and sintering temperatures on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of PZNN-PZT ceramics is investigated. To improve the sinterability and piezoelectric properties of these ceramics, the composition of $0.13Pb((Zn_{0.8}Ni_{0.2})_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.87Pb(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})O_3$ (PZNN-PZT) containing a Pb-based relaxor component is selected. Two methods are used to create the powder for the PZNN-PZT ceramics. The first involves blending all source powders at once, followed by calcination. The second involves the preferential creation of columbite as a precursor, by reacting NiO with $Nb_2O_5$ powder. Subsequently, PZNN-PZT powder can be prepared by mixing the columbite powder, PbO, and other components, followed by an additional calcination step. All the PZNN-PZT powder samples in this study show a nearly-pure perovskite phase. High-density PZNN-PZT ceramics can be fabricated using powders prepared by a two-step calcination process, with the addition of 0.3 wt% MnO2 at even relatively low sintering temperatures from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$. The grain size of the ceramics at sintering temperatures above $900^{\circ}C$ is increased to approximately $3{\mu}m$. The optimized PZNN-PZT piezoelectric ceramics show a piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) of 360 pC/N, an electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) of 0.61, and a quality factor ($Q_m$) of 275.

In this paper, for the application of ultrasonic cleaners for cleaning dentures and transparent braces, Pb(Mn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-Pb(Ni_1/3 Nb_2/3)O₃-Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ [PMN-PNN-PZT] system ceramics were manufactured and their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. Overall the best properties suitable for the device applications such as ultrasonic cleaner were obtained from the ceramics sintered at 920℃: bulk density of 7.8 g/cm³, the dielectric constant (ε_r) of 1,689, piezoelectric charge constant (d₃₃) of 433 pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling factor (k_p) of 0.64, mechanical quality factor (Qm) of 835, S₁₁^E of 13.37 (10^-12 N/m²), and Curie temperature of 315℃ By using the physical properties of this composition, the ultrasonic cleaner was designed and simulated using the commercial ATILA software. For the three-layered ceramics with the dimension of 25 mm × 25 mm × 2.5mm, an excellent displacement of 8.998 10^-3 m) and the sound pressure of 147.68 dB were recorded.

[Li0.055(K0.5Na0.5)0.945](Nb1-xTax)O3 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) ceramics were prepared by the partial sol-gel (PSG) method to improve the microstructure homogeneity of Ta5+ ion and were compared to those prepared by the conventional mixed oxide (CMO) method. For the PSG method, Ta(OC2H5)5 was directly reacted with calcined [Li0.055(K0.5Na0.5)0.945]NbO3 powders and the specimens sintered at 1100 ℃ for 5 hrs showed a single phase with a perovskite structure. Compared to the specimens prepared by conventional mixed oxide powders, the relative ratio of tetragonal phase to orthorhombic phase of the sintered specimens prepared by Ta(OC2H5)5 was larger than that of the sintered specimens prepared by Ta2O5. The electromechanical coupling factor (kp), piezoelectric constant (d33) and dielectric constant (εr) of the sintered specimens were increased with Ta5+ content. These results could be attributed to the decrease of the orthorhombic-tetragonal polymorphic phase transition temperature (To-t), which could be evaluated by oxygen octahedral distortion. Strain of the sintered specimens prepared by the PSG method was higher than that of specimens prepared by the CMO method due to the increase of relative density. The effects of crystal structure on the strain characteristics of the specimens were also discussed.

5.2GHz 중심 주파수를 갖는 Bragg reflector형 FBAR를 제작하여 주파수 응답 특성을 측정하고, 공진기 구조에서 각 층의 탄성 손실(acoustic loss)을 고려한 주파수 응답의 수치적 계산을 통해서 그 특성을 분석하였다. W과 $SiO_2$쌍을 선택하여 RF sputtering법으로 총 9층의 Bragg reflector를 제작하였고, 공진기의 압전층으로 pulsed dc 전원에 의한 sputtering법으로 AlN과 Al 전극을 증착하여 제작하였다. 제작된 공진기의 반사손실( $S_{11}$)은 중심주파수 5.38GHz에서 12dB이었고 직렬 공진 주파수( $f_{s}$)는 5.376GHz, 병렬 공진 주파수 ( $f_{p}$)는 5.3865GHz로 관찰되었다. 공진기의 성능지수인 유효 전기기계결합계수( $K_{ef{f^2}}$)값이 약 0.48%, 품질계수 ( $Q_{s}$) 값이 411이었다. 수치적으로 계산된 주파수 응답 특성으로부터 AlN 박막의 acoustic 상수들과 Bragg reflector의 반사계수를 도출한 결과 AlN 박막의 material acoustic impedance와 wave velocity는 AlN 고유의 값보다 감소되었으며, AlN 박막의 전기기계 결합계수( $K^2$)값은 c축 배향성 저하에 의해 매우 작은 값(0.49%)을 가졌다. 주파수 대역에서 Bragg reflector의 반사계수는 약 0.99966으로 계산되었으며 약 2.5 GHz에서 9.5 GHz까지의 넓은 반사대역을 나타내었다.다.었다.

우수한 압전 특성을 나타내는 것으로 알려진 Mn 첨가 PMN-PZT의 저온소결 첨가제가 실험되었다. 저온소결 첨가제로는 B$_2$O$_3$가 사용되었고 소결온도와 B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가량의 변화가 소결성과 유전 및 압전특성의 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가량과 소결온도를 변화시킨 결과 B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가량 2wt% 이하 100$0^{\circ}C$이하 조건에서 소결밀도가 증가하여 B$_2$O$_3$가 저온소결재로 작용하였다. 그러나 10$50^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 주조성인 PMN-PZT보다 낮은 소결밀도를 나타내었다. B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가에 따른 유전상수($\varepsilon$$_{33}$ $^{T}$ )의 변화를 확인할 결과 B$_2$O$_3$ 2wt% 100$0^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 1000의 유전율을 나타내었다. B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가량이 전기-기계 결합계수(k$_{p}$ )와 압전상수(d$_{33}$ )에 큰 저하를 가져오지 않는 B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가 한계는 2wt% 이하로 나타났다. 이때, k$_{p}$ 는 약 50%, d$_{33}$ 는 약 300(${\times}$$10^{-12}$ C/N) 정도의 값을 얻을 수 있었다. B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가는 기계적 품질계수(Q$_{m}$ )의 증가를 가져왔으며 0.5wt% B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가 110$0^{\circ}C$ 소결 조건에서 1700의 품질계수를 나타내었다. 유전손실은 B$_2$O$_3$ 첨가에 따라 큰 변화 없이 0.5% 이하의 값으로 나타났다.

최근 중요하게 된 진동 흡수를 위해서 $BaTiO_{3}$ 세라믹의 흡진 특성을 측정하고 미세구조와의 연관을 조사했다.$BaTiO_{3}$ 세라믹은 비교적 물리적 화학적으로 안정하여 좋은 흡진재로 기대된다.BaTiO$_{3}$ 세라믹은 흡진 특성을 강화시키기 위해서 섬유상 분말을 소결하여 만들었다. KDC법으로 직경이 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 1.2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 2.0$\mu\textrm{m}$인 각각 다른 섬유상 $K_2Ti_4O_9$을 만들고 이온교환해서 섬유상 $BaTiO_{3}$ 을 만들었다. 면상으로 배향시킨 소결체의 흡진 특성과 전기적 물성을 조사하여 미세구조와 의 관계를 밝혔다. 소결체의 입경과 등가회로, 전기기계합계수($K_{t}$), 발생 전압(V)을 조사한 결과, 사용한 섬유의 직경이 클수록 소결체의 입경은 작아졌다. 따라서 입계가 많아졌다. 흡진 특성은 입계가 많을수록 커진다. 즉 입계의 내무마찰이 클수록 흡진률은 커지며 이때의 내부마찰은 등가회로를 조사함으로써 확인되었다.

Due to the environmental issue vast research is going on to replace the widely used lead contented piezoelectric materials. Bismuth sodium titanate (abbreviated as BNT) based bismuth sodium titanate-barium titanate (abbreviated as BNBT) ceramic was prepared by using modified method rather than conventional mixed oxide method. This modification was made to improve the properties of BNT based ceramic. In this procedure $BaTiO_3$ (abbreviated as BT) was prepared using conventional mixed oxide method. Analytical grade raw materials of $BaCO_3$ and $TiO_2$ were weighted and ball milled using ethanol medium. The mixed slurry was dried and sieved under 80 mesh. Then the powder was calcined at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. This calcined BT powder was used in the preparation of BNBT. Stoichiometric amount of $Bi_2O_3$, $Na_2CO_3$, $TiO_2$ and BT were weighted and mixed by using ball mill. The used calcination temperature was $850^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Calcined powder was taken for another milling step. BNBT disks were pressed to 15 mm of diameter and then cold isostatical press (CIP) was used. Pressed samples were sintered at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The SEM microstructure analysis revealed that the grain shape of the sintered ceramic was polyhedral and grain boundary was well matched where as the sample prepared by conventional method showed irregular arrangement and grain boundary not well matched. And sintered density was better (5.78 g/cc) for the modified method. It was strongly observed that the properties of BNBT ceramic near MPB composition was found to be improved by the modified method compare to the conventional mixed oxide method. The piezoelectric constant dB of 177.33 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor $k_p$ of 33.4%, dielectric constant $K_{33}^T$ of 688.237 and mechanical quality factor $Q_m$ of 109.37 was found.

Pb($(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3-PbZrO_3$세라믹스에서 NiO첨가에 따른 유전, 압전 및 기계적 특성의 변화를 연구하였다. Columbite precursor법을 사용하여 분말을 제조 후 공기중에서 $1100^{\circ}C$~$1250^{\circ}C$의 온도로 2시간 소결하여 시편을 제조하였다. $1150^{\circ}C$이하 온도에서 소결한 시편에서는 NiO를 1 mol% 첨가시까지 유전상수와 압전상수가 증가하였으나 첨가량이 그 이상 증가함에 따라 감소하였는데 이는 NiO가 소결조제 역할을 한 것으로 보여진다. 그러나 $1200^{\circ}C$ 이상 온도에서 소결한 시편에서는 NiO 첨가량 증가에 따라 유전상수와 전기기계결합계수가 감소하였으며, 기계적품질계수는 증가하였다. 경도 및 파괴인성은 1 mol% 첨가시 최대 값을 보이다가 그 이후 감소하였다. NiO 첨가 PNN-PT-PZ 세라믹스의 전기적 및 기계적 특성은 결정립크기, 소결밀도 및 2차상의 양 등의 미세구조적 요소와 긴밀한 관계가 있음을 보여준다.

In this study, lead-free Piezoelectric $(Na_{0.47}K_{0.47}Sr_{0.03}Ca_{0.03})(Nb_{0.94}Ti_{0.06})O_3$-0.1 $MnO_2$ ceramics were fabricated using mixed oxide method and the effects of various sintering temperature on the structural and electrical properties were investigated. For the $(Na_{0.47}K_{0.47}Sr_{0.03}Ca_{0.03})(Nb_{0.94}Ti_{0.06})O_3$-0.1 $MnO_2$ (NKN-SCT-$MnO_2$) ceramics sintered at temperatures of $1,025{\sim}1,100^{\circ}C$. The results indicated that all specimens were perovskite single phase formation without any second phase. It has been shown that relative density is increased to increasing sintering temperature. When the sintered temperature at $1,075^{\circ}C$, highest sintered density and maximum value of $4.45g/cm^3$. Average grain size is increased to increasing sintering temperature. The electromechanical coupling factor, dielectric constant, dielectric loss, d33 and curie temperature at the sintering temperature $1,075^{\circ}C$ of NKN-SCT-$MnO_2$ specimens were 0.22, 511, 0.033, 103 and $380^{\circ}C$, respectively.

For use in ultrasonic actuators, we investigated the structural and piezoelectric properties of $(1\;-\;x)Pb(Zr_{0.515}Ti_{0.485})O_3$ - $xPb(Sb_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_3$ + 0.5 wt% $MnO_2$ [(1 - x)PZT - xPSN + $MnO_2$] ceramics with a variation of x (x = 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08). All the ceramics, which were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, showed a typical perovskite structure, implying that they were well synthesized. A homogeneous micro structure was also developed for the specimens, and their average grain size was slightly decreased to $1.3{\mu}m$ by increasing x to 0.8. Moreover, a second phase with a pyrochlore structure appeared when x was above 0.06, which resulted in the deterioration of their piezoelectric properties. However, the 0.96PZT-0.04PSN+$MnO_2$ ceramics, which corresponds with a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition in the (1 - x)PZT - xPSN + $MnO_2$ system, exhibited good piezoelectric properties: a piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) of 325 pC/N, an electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) of 70.8%, and a mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) of 1779. The specimens with a relatively high curie temperature ($T_c$) of $305^{\circ}C$ also showed a significantly high dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) value of 1109. Therefore, the 0.96PZT - 0.04PSN + $MnO_2$ ceramics are suitable for use in ultrasonic vibrators.
