A great deal of attention has been focused on the application of miniaturized piezoelectric transformers to the low power source for the microsystem. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Mn,W,Sb,Nb)O$_3$-Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ ceramics have been investigated on different calcination(750$^{\circ}C$∼950$^{\circ}C$) and sintering(1100$^{\circ}C$∼1300$^{\circ}C$) temperatures. The perovskitic phase was formed by the solid phase reaction of the oxides. Anisotropic (k$\sub$t/k$\sub$p/) properties of electromechanical coupling coefficient and piezoelectric coefficient have been proven to be depending on processing temperatures. The value of electromechanical coupling factor of K$\sub$p/>0.51 and a mechanical quality factor of Q$\sub$m/>2000 were obtained. The piezoelectric transformer was prepared using this ceramics with the composition of Pb(Mn,W,Sb,Nb)O$_3$-Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ We studied the influence of different processing temperature on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of complex PZT-based ceramics. and the characteristic of piezoelectric transformer.

In this study, lead-free $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5+X})(Nb_{0.96}Sb_{0.04})O_3+0.2mol%La_2O_3+1.2mol%$ $K_4CuNb_8O_{23}$ (X= 0~0.025) ceramics were fabricated by normal sintering method at $1060^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. Microstructures, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of specimens were investigated with special emphasis in the influence of Na excess addition. The grain size of specimen was slightly decreased with increasing Na content. In the 2 [mol%] Na excess addition of NKNS ceramics, density, electromechanical coupling factor, piezoelectric constant and electromechancal quality factor of specimen were found to reach the optimum values of 4.25 [$g/cm^3$], 0.4357, 154.43 [pC/N] and 580, respectively.

In this paper, we investigated the electrical and piezoelectric characteristics of $Pb(Sb,Nb)O_3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ for piezoelectric transformer and actuator etc. Effect of $WO_3$ addition($0\;wt%{\sim}0.6\;wt%$) on the PSN-PZT ceramic was investigated. Anisotropic properties of electromechanical coupling factor and piezoelectric properties were proved to be varied with amount of $WO_3$ impurity and sintering temperature($1100{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$). The electromechanical coupling factor $k_p$ of 0.41 and the mechanical quality factor am of 1243 were obtained from the specimen with 0.6 wt% $WO_3$ addition sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ Experimental results indicated that the PZT-PSN ceramics with $WO_3$ impurity can be effectively used for piezoelectric transformer and actuator. etc.

In this study, electrical properties of multilayer piezoelectric transformer sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ using pure Ag internel electrode was investigated. This multilayer piezoelectric transformer was fabricated as a ring-dot type. The multilayer piezoelectric transformer should have hight electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) and electromechanical qualiy factor ($Q_m$) in order to increase the efficiency of energy conversion between electrical and mechanical energy. The maximum values of $k_p$ and $Q_m$ showed 0.552 and 1320, respectively.

With the increase of PSN substitution, the crystal structure is transO$_3$formed from the tetragonal phase to the rhombohedral phase and the grain size is decreased abruptly. The curie temperature is decreased with the PSN substitution. The dielectric constant is increased with the PSN substitution and maximum value of 2290 is obtained at 4mol% PSN. With the PSN substitution, the coercive field is increased and the remnant polarization is decreased. The Electromechanical coupling factor(k$\sub$p/) Is showed the highest value of 0.622 at lmol% PSN and the mechanical quality factor(Q$\sub$m/) is decreased abruptly with the PSN substitution.

In this study, in order to develop coupled vibration mode piezoelectric devices for Acoustic Emission (abbreviated as AE) sensor application with outstanding displacement and piezoelectric properties have been simulated by ATILA FEM program. And, From the results of ATILA simulation, the AE sensor specimen, obtained superior electromechanical coupling factor and displacement, when the size of specimen is $3.45mm{\Phi}{\times}3.45mm$ with ratio of diameter/thickness(${\Phi}/T$)= 1.0. Therefore, AE sensor was fabricated by (Na,K,Li)(Nb,Ta) $O_3$(abbreviated as NKL-NT) system piezoelectric ceramics using coupled vibration mode. The piezoelectric properties of NKL-NT ceramics was exhibited that piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$), piezoelectric voltage constant($g_{33}$) and electro mechanical coupling factor($k_p$) have the excellent values of 261[pC/N], 40.10[$10^{-3}Vm/N$], and 0.44, respectively. The manufactured piezoelectric device with ratio of ${\Phi}/T$= 1.0 indicated the optimum values of resonant frequency(fr)= 556.5[kHz], antiresonant frequency(fa)=631.1[kHz], and effective electromechanical coupling factor(keff)= 0.473. The maximum sensitivity of the coupled vibration mode AE sensor was 55[dB] at the resonant frequency of 75[kHz]. The results show that the coupled vibration mode piezoelectric device is a promising candidate for the application AE sensor piezoelectric device.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering ceramics for ultrasonic vibrator application, PNW-PMN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured according to the amount of CaCO$_3$ addition, and their piezoelectric, dielectric and microstructural characteristics were investigated. The ceramic specimens could be sintered at sintering temperature below 1000 $^{\circ}C$ due to the effect of Li$_2$CO$_3$-CaCO$_3$ liquid phase produced by the reaction of Li$_2$CO$_3$ and CaCO$_3$. At 0.2 wt% Li$_2$CO$_3$ and 0.25 wt％ CaCO$_3$ added specimen sintered at 920 $^{\circ}C$, the density, electromechanical coupling factor(k$_{p}$), mechanical quality factor(Q$_{m}$) and dielectric constant showed the optimal value of 7.78 g/㎤, 0.49, 1396, and 1300, respectively, for ultrasonic vibrator application.ion.
