Dieletric ailed piezoelectric properties of Pb[$Zr_{0.45}$/ $Ti_{0.5-x}$/L $u_{x}$ (M $n_{1}$3//S $b_{2}$3)$_{0.05}$] $O_3$(0$\leq$x $\leq$0.03) were investigated. The partial substitution of $Ti^{4+}$ by a L $u^{3+}$ permitted improvement of the piezoelectric constant( $d_{33}$ ), electromechanical coupling factor ( $k_{p}$ ) and dielectric constant($\varepsilon$$_{33}$ /Sup T/). The dielectric loss(tan $\delta$ ) increased and mechanical quality factor(Qm) decreased with an increase of x were observed. A new piezoelectric material for actuator application was developed at x=0.02 with $d_{33}$ =370$\times$10$^{-2}$ /C/N, $k_{p}$ =58.5%, $\varepsilon$$_{33}$ $^{T}$ =1321, $Q_{m}$ =714 and tan $\delta$ =0.98%.%..%.%.

In this study non-stoichiometric $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.97}(Nb_{0.96-x}Ta_xSb_{0.04})O_3$ ceramics were prepared by the conventional soild-state teaction method. The effect of Ta-substitution on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis of all the specimens less than x= 15 mol% indicated orthorhombic phase. Thereafter, the specimens showed orthorhombic phase near to pseudo-cubic. Sinterablity of all the specimens was improved due to secondary products such as KCT and KCN. The ceramics with x= 5 mol% showed the optimum velues of pizoelectric constant($d_{33}$)= 150 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor (kp)= 0.45, electromechanical quality factor (Qm)= 418.9 and dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$)= 567. Accordingly, These results indicate that the composition ceramics is a promising candidate for lead-free material.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, $0.07Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-xPb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-(0.93-x)Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ ceramics system were fabricated using $Li_2CO_3-Bi_2O_3-CuO$ sintering aids and the specimens were sintered at $930^{\circ}C$. Thereafter, their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated according to the amount of PNN substitution. At 9 mol% PNN substitution, density, electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$), dielectric constant, mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) and piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) showed the optimum value of $7.86g/cm^3$, 0.60, 1640, 1323 and 387 pC/N, respectively. It is considered that these values are suitable for piezoelectric divece application such ad multilayer piezoelectric actuator and ultrasonic vibrator with pure Ag internal electrode.

In this study, in order to. develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics using CuO, $Bi_{2}O_{3}\;and\;Li_{2}CO_{3}$ as sintering aids were manufactured with the amount of $WO_{3}$ addition. The ceramics were sintered at $900,\;930,\;960^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thereafter, their microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The $WO_{3}$ was proved to lower the sintering temperature of piezoelectric ceramics due to the effects of PbO and $WO_{3}$ liquid phase. At 0.3 wt% $WO_{3}$ added specimen sintered at $930^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor($k_{p}$), mechanical quality factor($Q_{m}$), dielectric constant and $d_{33}$ showed the optimum values as the values of 0.60, 1,402, 1,440 and 360 pC/N, respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PMN-PZT ceramics with a high mechanical quality factor$(Q_m)$ and a low temperature sintering temperature were investigated as a function of PZN substitution in order to develop multilayer piezoelectric transformer for AC-DC converter. Multilayer piezoelectric transformers were subsequently manufactured using the PMN-PZN-PZT ceramic offering the optimal behavior and then the electrical performance were invetigated. At the sintering temperature of $940^{\circ}C$, density, electromechanical coupling factor$(k_p)$, mechanical qualify factor$(Q_m)$ and dielectric constant$(\varepsilon_r)$ of 8 mol% PZN substituted specimen were $7.73g/cm^3$, 0.524, 1573 and 1455, respectively. The PZN substitution caused a increase in the dielectric constant and the electromechnical coupling factor. The voltage step-up ratio of multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the maximum value at near the resonant frequency of 76.55 kHz and increased according to the increase of load resistance. The multilayer piezoelectric transformer with the output impedance coincided with the load resistance showed the temperature increase of less than $20^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 10 W. Based on the results, the manufactured multilayer transformer using the low temperature sintered PMN-PZN-PZT ceramics can be stably driven for both step-up and down transformers.

In this paper, the influences of poling electric field on piezoelectric properties of $0.95(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$-$0.05Li(Sb_{0.8}Nb_{0.2})O_3$ (abbreviated as KNN-LSN) ceramics were investigated. The specimens was sintered at sintering temperature of $1050^{\circ}C$. They showed orthorhombic phase structure without secondary phase. Electromechanical coupling factor (kp), dielectric and piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) increased with poling electric field. However, mechanical quality factor (Qm) decreased. Take into account of poling conditions and piezoelectric properties of KNN-LSN ceramics, the optimum poling condition for KNN-LSN ceramics was poling electric field of 4.5 kV/mm. At the time, kp of 0.458, Qm of 43.97, $d_{33}$ of 278 pC/N, and dielectric constant of 1079 were shown, respectively.

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> .
