The application of the ultrasonic nozzle has been extended because it is possible atomization of liquid material. In this study, the characteristics of the ultrasonic nozzle and ceramic oscillator were investigated. The oscillator for the ultrasonic nozzle were made piezoelectric ceramic of Pb[($Sb_{1/2}$ $Nb_{1/2}$)$_{0.035}$-($Mn_{1/3}$$Nb_{2/3}$)$_{0.065}$-($Zr_{0.49}$$Ti_{0.51}$)$_{0.90}$]$O_3$. The electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) showed the values of 0.555, 1, 214 respectively when the Zr/Ti ratio was 49/51. Moreover, this oscillator will have the temperature stability because it's curie temperature is 322[$^{\circ}C$]. The driving current of ultrasonic nozzle showed the value of 80[mA] when the driving time was lO[min.]. Also, The surface temperature of ceramic oscillator showed 80[$^{\circ}C$] at driving time lO[min.] We knew that the ultrasonic nozzle had stabile driving above 10[min.].

High-power piezoelectric materials are being developed for applications such as actuators and ultrasonic motors. In this paper, ferroelectric property of iron-doped 0.57 (Sc$_{1}$2//Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_3$-0.43 PbTiO$_3$. which is the morphotropic phase boundary composition for the PSN-PT system, was investigated. The maximum dielectric constant ( $\varepsilon$$_{33}$/$\varepsilon$$_{0}$ = 2551) and the minimum dielectric loss(tan $\delta$ = 0.51 %) at room temperature were obtained at 01. wt% and 0.3 wt% of iron additions. With additions of the Fe$_2$O$_3$ the electromechanical coupling factor of radial mode k$_{p}$ and the piezoelectric coefficient d$_{33}$ were slightly decreased, on the other hand the mechanical quality factor was increased significantly. The highest mechanical quality factor (Qm= 297) was obtained at 0.3 wt% Fe$_2$O$_3$, which is 4.4 times larger than that of pure 0.57 PSN-0.43PT ceramics. The temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and dielectic loss was observed between 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 35$0^{\circ}C$ .X> .X> .

We investigated the effect of Ta doping on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of lead-free $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ ceramics prepared using a conventional ceramic processing. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that Ta was perfectly substituted into Nb-sites in the range of 0 to 20 at%. As Ta content in the KNN increased, the sinterability of KNN ceramics was significantly degraded while the Ta doping enhanced the piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$, planar mode piezoelectric coupling coefficient ($k_p$), and electromechanical quality factor ($Q_m$). The highest values for $d_{33}$, $k_p$, and $Q_m$ was found to be 156 pC/N, 0.37, and 155, respectively.

Low temperature ($\leq900^{\circ}C$) sintering piezoelectric ceramics $0.01Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3$-0.41Pb$(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.35PbTiO_3-0.23PbZrO_3+0.1wt%Y_2O_3+xwt%ZnO$ $(0{\leq}x{\leq}2.5)$ have been developed and investigated. The electromechanical coupling coefficient ($k_p$), piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$), and mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) have been measured to characterize the piezoelectric materials system. When 2.0 wt% ZnO is added, the properties of the system, $d_{33}$ = 559 pC/N, $k_p$ = 55.0 % and $Q_m$ = 73.4 are obtained which are very suitable for piezoelectric actuators. A bending mode multilayer actuator has been also developed using the materials which size is $27(L)\times9(W)\times1.07(t)mm^3$. The actuators are fabricated by multilayer ceramic (MLC) process and consist of24 layers and each layer thickness is $35{\mu}m$. At this time, the displacement of actuator was $100{\mu}m$ at 28V.

Bragg reflector type FBAR was fabricated on the Si(100) substrate. We measured a frequency response of the resonator at 5.2 GHz and analyzed it by numerical calculation considering actual acoustic losses of each layer in the structure. We fabricated nine layer Bragg reflector of W-SiO$_2$pairs using r.f. sputtering method and fabricated AlN piezoelectric and Al electrodes using pulsed dc sputtering. The return loss(S$_{11}$) of the fabricated Bragg reflector type FBAR was 12 dB at 5.38 GHz and the series resonance frequency(f$_{s}$) was 5.376 GHz and the parallel resonance frequency(f$_{p}$) was 5.3865 GHz. Effective electro-mechanical coupling constant (K$_{eff{^2}}$) and Quality factors(Q$_{s}$), the Figures of Merit of the resonator, were about 0.48% and 411, respectively. We extracted acoustic parameters of AlN piezoelectric and reflection coefficient of the Bragg reflector by numerical calculation. We could know that material acoustic impedance and wave velocity of AlN piezoelectric decreased for intrinsic value and the electromechanical coupling constant(K$_2$) value was very low owing to the poor quality of the AlN piezoelectric. Reflection coefficient of Bragg reflector was 0.99966 and reflection band was very wide from 2.5 to 9.5 GHz.

Recently, piezoelectric transformer is applied to wide fields. Multi layer piezoelectric transformer has the advantage of high step up ratio, electromechanical coupling coefficient(Kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm), but is indicated of peeling-phenomenon of electrode, rising sintering temperature made price of costly electrode. So in this study, it discuss on method for fabrication of rosen type piezoelectric transformers. For the fabrication as rosen type piezoelectric transformers, synthesized the powder using 0.01Pb$(ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ - 0.08Pb$(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ - 0.91Pb$(Zr_{0506}Ti_{0496})O_3$ (abbreviated as PNN-PMN-PZT) ceramics. The density, microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties as a function of sintering temperature were investigated. The results indicated that the optimized properties of ceramics were obtained at sintering temperature of 1200$^{\circ}C$, showed the value of $d_{33}$=273pC/N, $K_p$=0.60 $Q_m$=1585, ${\varepsilon}_r$=1454, density=7.917$g/cm^3$ and $tan{\delta}$=0.0064.

$Pb(Zr,\;Ti)O_3$ (PZT) is a piezoelectric material applied in a typical actuator and has been actively studied. However, in order to overcome the limitations of PZT, piezoelectric ceramics comprising mixed solid solutions of PZT with various relaxer electric materials have been studied. The $Pb(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})-Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})-Pb(Zr,\;Ti)O_3$ (PZN-PNN-PZT) piezoelectric ceramic, known to have high piezoelectric constant and electromechanical coupling coefficient, was studied herein. The piezoelectric characteristics with various Zr contents (Zr/Ti ratios), PZN molar ratios, and sintering temperatures were compared. The piezoelectric properties of $d_{33}=580pC/N$ and $k_P=0.68$ were obtained with the $0.1PZN-0.2PNN-0.7PbZr_{0.46}Ti_{0.54}O_3$ composition sintered at $1,290^{\circ}C$.

We investigated the sintering behavior and piezoelectric properties of lead-free $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ ceramics co-doped with excess 0.01 mol ZnO and x mol $MnO_2$, where x was varied from 0 to 0.03. Excess $MnO_2$ addition was found to retard the grain growth and densification during sintering. However, 0.005 mol $MnO_2$ addition improved the piezoelectric properties of 0.01 mol ZnO added $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ ceramics. The planar mode piezoelectric coupling coefficient, electromechanical quality factor, and piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$ of 0.01 mol ZnO and 0.005 mol $MnO_2$ added specimen were 0.40, 304, and 214 pC/N, respectively.

In order to develope piezoelectric transformer for the ballast of fluorescent lamp, a new shape and electrode pattern of piezoelectric transformer has been investigated in this work. The composition of piezoelectric ceramics was 0.95Pb(Zr$_{0.51}$Ti$_{0.49}$)O$_3$+0.03Pb(Mn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_3$+0.02Pb(Sb$_{1}$2/Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_3$. The sample prepared by this composition system showed the characteristics which has about 1200 of relative dielecric constant, 1100 of the mechanical quality factor, 0.53 of the electromechanical coupling coefficient, 320 pC/N of the piezoelectric constant d$_{33}$, 0.3 % of the dissipation factor. Diameter and thickness of disk-type piezoelectric transformer was 45 mm and 4 mm, respectively. The driving and generating electrode with their gap of 1mm were fabricated on the top surface. But the common electrode was fabricated on the whole bottom surface. The electrode surface ratio of driving and generating part on the top surface ranges from 1.4:1 to 3:1. We investigated the electrical characteristics with the variation of the electrode surface ratio of driving and generating part in the range of load resistance of 100 $\Omega$～70 k$\Omega$. The set-up voltage ratio of this piezoelectric transformer increases with increasing both the electrode surface of driving part and the load resistance. The set-up voltage ratio at no load resistance was more than 60 times. On the other hand, the efficiency decreases with increasing the electrode surface of driving part. In the case of the electrode surface of both 1.4:1 and 2:1, maximum efficiency showed above 97 % at load resistance of 2 k$\Omega$. However, in the case of the electrode surface of 3:1, maximum efficiency showed about 94 % at load resistance of 3 k$\Omega$.>.>.>.
