In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering ultrasonic nozzle, single-layer and multilayer ring-type piezoelectric actuators were manufactured using PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics, And then the electrical properties were investigated. A ring-type piezoelectric actuator was modeled by ATILA program using finite element method(FEM). The piezoelectric actuator dimension was $\Phi26.5$ (outer diameter), $\Phi12$ (inner diameter), 3.5 mm (thickness). By FEM analysis, resonant and anti-resonant frequencies were appeared as 56.7 kHz and 61.5 kHz. The displacement increased with the increases of the number of layer. Based on the result, ring-type multilayer piezoelectric actuators were manufactured at low co-firing temperature of $940^{\circ}C$. The resonant resistance decreased with the increases of the number of layer. And also, the capacitance increased with the increases of the number of layer. The mechanical quality factor (Qm) decreased with the increases of the number of layer.

The multilayer piezoelectric transformer was manufactured using $Pb(Zn_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3-Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr_{0.48}Ti_{0.52})O_3$ (abbreviated as PZW-PMN-PZT) ceramics and their electrical properties were investigated. The $k_{eff}$ of the input and the output calculated from the resonant and anti-resonant frequencies were 0.403 and 0.233, respectively. The voltage step-up ratio showed the maximum value in the vicinity of 81kHz. The multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the temperature rise of about $36^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 12w.

In this paper, we have proposed piezoelectric energy harvester employing the pillar structure with the diameter size of 500 um. So we have selected the Su-8 photo-resist and modified lithography process to manufacture the pillar structure with height above the $500{\mu}m$. Simultaneously, we tried to make a comparative study to use ceramic bulk - polymer structure In this paper, we will report the process and properties of micro pillar structure based on the PMN-PZT ($Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbZrTiO_3$) materials. Finally, We will propose a method for generating electrical energy with a piezoelectric element using vibration, an energy source can be obtained from the "clean" energy.

A miniaturized wind-mill type ultrasonic motor which has diameter in 12.7 mm and thickness in 2.0mm using PMN-PZT piezoelectric ceramics was fabricated. The wind-mill type ultrasonic motors has only three plate and of two wind-mill shape slotted metal endcaps a rotor whose end is hollowed out so that its periphery fits with the shape of the stator and a bearing to guide the rotor. A Finite Element Analysis was carried out to obtain the endcaps behavior under a radial displacement change of piezoelectric disk and to optimize the structure of the number of slots. Increasing the applied voltage the revolution speed of ultrasonic motors was increased. The maximum speed of 700 rpm and the maximum torque of 0.22 nN·m of the wind-mill type ultrasonic motors were obtained.

In this paper, a hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer was investigated to increase the output power. The length of its side was 14mm and 17.5mm, respectively. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. This composition showed the characteristics which had an about 1500 of the mechanical Q-factor, 0.55 of the electromechanical coupling coefficient, $320{\times}10^{-12}C/N$ of the piezoelectric constant $d_{31}$, 0.3 % of the dissipation factor, etc. The voltage step-up ratio increased with increasing the load resistance, $R_{L}$, so it reached 80 with $R_{L}$ of $1M{\Omega}$ and was proportion to the length of side of the hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer. Also, the output power increased with increasing the size of the hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer.

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.

The conventional ultrasonic nozzle produces a mist by applying an ultrasonic vibration into a non-flowering liquid. In this paper, we first present a novel designed nozzle type sprayer that is able to apply an ultrasonic vibration directly to the moving liquid and generate a mist instantly. For the novel nozzle, a ring-type actuator of the novel nozzle was designed and built using the PZW-PMN-PZT ceramics. This paper will describe a variety of physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the ultrasonic nozzle. The characteristics of the mist particles was also measured as the amount of the outflow liquid was varied.

For the piezoelectric transformer application, Pb(Sb$\_$1/2/ Nb$\_$1/2/)O$_3$-Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ ceramics were produced by attrition milling. Microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of the ceramics were investigated as a function of milling time. The particle size and grain size decreased while dielectric constant, density and mechanical quality factor (Q$\_$m/) increased with milling time. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCf$\_$r/) was shifted to positive side with increasing milling time. The attrition milling process proved to be one of the effective routes to produce transformers for high power application.

For high voltage operation, a new type of piezoelectric transformer using radial vibration of disk, poled with the same direction was proposed. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. The diameter and thickness of a disk type piezoelectric transformer were 45［mm］and 4［mm］, respectively The surface ratio of driving electrode and generating electrode of the piezoelectric transformer was 2 : 1. The resonance characteristics of input admittance, step-up voltage ratio and power transmission efficiency of the piezoelectric transformer were measured by varying the load resistance(0.1∼70［kΩ］). As a result, both resonance frequency and step-up voltage ratio increased with increasing load resistance. The step-up voltage ratio was reached more than 60 times under no load resistance. The maximum efficiency of 97% at load resistance of 2kΩ was obtained.
