Ta-doped PZT thin films prepared by reactive co-sputtering method could be transformed into single grained perovskite structure utilizing physical etching of Pt bottom electrode. It is found that PZT perovskite phase on damaged (111) Pt electrode by IMD was more easily crystallized than random oriented Pt electrode and less crystallized than (111) Pt electrode. This shows that amorphized Pt electrode surface by IMD process has an effect on crystallization of PZT perovskite phase. 40$\mu\textrm{m}\times40\mu\textrm{m}$ square shape single grain PZT array could be obtained utilizing the difference of incubation time for nucleation of rosettes between ion damaged Pt and (111) oriented Pt electrode. Single grained PZT thin films show low leakage current density of $1\times10^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and high break down field of 440kV/cm. The loss of remanent polarization after $10^{11}$ cycles was less than 15% of initial value.

Piezoelectric transformers(PT) are expected to be small, thin and highly efficient, and which are attractive as a transformer with high power density for step down voltage. For these reasons, we have attempted to develop a step-down PT for the miniaturized adaptor. We propose a PT, operating in thickness extensional vibration mode for step-down voltage. This PT consists of a multi-layered construction in the thickness direction. In order to develop the step-down PT of 10 W class and turn ratio of 0.1 with high efficiency and miniaturization, the piezoelectric ceramics and PT designs are estimated with a variety of characteristics. The basic composition of piezoelectric ceramics consists of ternary yPb(Zr$_{x}$Ti$_{1-x}$)O$_{3}$-(1-y)Pb(Mn$_{1/3}$Nb1$_{1/3}$Sb$_{1/3}$)O$_{3}$. In the piezoelectric characteristics evaluations, at y=0.95 and x=0.505, the electromechanical coupling factor(K$_{p}$) is 58$\%$, piezoelectric strain constant(d$_{33}$) is 270 pC/N, mechanical quality factor(Qr$_{m}$) is 1520, permittivity($\varepsilon$/ 0) is 1500, and Curie temperature is 350 $^{\circ}C$. At y = 0.90 and x = 0.500, kp is 56$\%$, d33 is 250 pC/N, Q$_{m}$ is 1820, $\varepsilon$$_{33}$$^{T}$/$\varepsilon$$_{0}$ is 1120, and Curie temperature is 290 $^{\circ}C$. It shows the excellent properties at morphotropic phase boundary regions. PZT-PMNS ceramic may be available for high power piezoelectric devices such as PTs. The design of step-down PTs for adaptor proposes a multi-layer structure to overcome some structural defects of conventional PTs. In order to design PTs and analyze their performances, the finite element analysis and equivalent circuit analysis method are applied. The maximum peak of gain G as a first mode for thickness extensional vibration occurs near 0.85 MHz at load resistance of 10 .The peak of second mode at 1.7 MHz is 0.12 and the efficiency is 92$\%$.

In this study, both structural, dielectric properties of the NKN-0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramics were investigated. All samples of the NKN-0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramics were fabricated by conventional mixed oxide method with Pt electrodes. We report the improved electrical properties in the perovskite structure composed of the NKN, BNT and the BT ceramics. We investigated the effects of NKN, BT on the structural and electrical properties of the NKN-0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramics. The dielectric and structural properties of the NKN-0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramics were superior to those of single composition NKN, NKN-BNT and those values for the NKN-0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramics were 1455, 0.025 and $29.04{\mu}C/cm^2$.

PSN-PT-PZ 삼성분계 압전세라믹의 상도로부터 유전적, 압전적 특성이 가장 양호한 MPB부근의 조성을 선택하여 MnO$_{2}$를 0-2[wt.%]첨가하였으며 일반소성법으로 시편을 제작하였다. 소결온도는 1,200-1,280[.deg.C], 시간은 0.5-3[hr]까지 변화시켰으며 MnO$_{2}$의 첨가가 시편의 유전적, 압전적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 제작된 시편의 비유전상수는 MnO$_{2}$의 첨가량에 따라 증가하였으며 MnO$_{2}$가 2[wt.%]첨가된 시편 S-15(PSN:PT:PZ, 15:48:37)의 경우 605.41, 큐리온도는 MnO$_{2}$의 첨가량이 증가할수록 선형적으로 감소하였다. 각 시편의 전기기계 결합계수와 유전손실은 MnO$_{2}$의 첨가량이 0.5-1.5[wt.%]범위에서 양호한 특성을 나타내었으며 MnO$_{2}$가 0.5[wt.%] 첨가된 시편 S-5(PSN:PT:PZ, 5:48:47)의 경우 전기기계 결합계수는 0.425로 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. MnO$_{2}$가 1[wt.%] 첨가된 시편 S-10(PSN:PT:PZ, 10:48:42)에서 공진주파수의 온도의존성이 가장 양호하게 나타났으며 각 시편에 대한 MnO$_{2}$의 첨가량이 증가할수록 결정립 크기는 감소하였다.

Dielectric and pyroelectric properties of relaxor ferroelectric in the PMN-PT solid solution series have been investigated. Features of the diffuse phase transition in PMN-PT system, typical relaxor ferroelectric materials, were studied as a function of temperature and frequency. The transition temperature of the ceramics with PT$\sim$0.325 did not depend on the measuring frequency. This can best realized in a relatively random environment that apparently is provided by PMN-rich complex perovskites, including those containing Pb. The composition with PT>0.35 show the characteristics of a normal single phase ferroelectric material. Thus the studies revealed that the morphotropic phase boundary in the PMN-PT system is in the vicinity of PT$\sim$0.3 and it has a small curvature and as a result the compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary show two phase transitions, rhombohedral$\rightarrow$tetragonal$\rightarrow$cubic, when the samples are heated up to higher temperature. The best optimum compositions are observed near the morphotropic phase boundary.

The crystal structure and ferroelectricity of the $(1-x)BiFeO_3\;(BF)-xPbTiO_3$ (PT) ceramic system with the addition of $DyFeO_3$ (DF) have been investigated for attaining a high temperature piezoelectric material. This study is focused on the relation between crystal structure and ferroelectric property with the addition of DF over the phase boundary in the (1-x)BF-xPT system. Hysteresis curves of polarization-electric field at room temperature have been measured. The X-ray and neutron diffraction data were analyzed by the rietveld refinement method. The addition of 0.1 mole DF into BF-PT system greatly increases the ferroelectric remanant polarization Pr values, e.g. 17 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ in 0.6BF-yDF-(0.4-y)PT and 31${\mu}C/cm^2$ in 0.5BF-yDF-(0.5.y)PT, respectively. The improved Pr value has been discussed in relation with crystal structure and electrical property.

Effect of heating rate was studied on consolidation of the low-temperature-sinterable PMN-PT-BT powder by varying the heating rate from 5, 10, to $20^{circ}C/min$. Slow rate of $5^{circ}C/min$ showed more homogeneous microstructure than high rate of 10 or $20^{circ}C/min$ due to low PbO (m.p. $886^{circ}C$) evaporation at 850^{circ}C$. It showed sintered density of $7.93 g/cm^{3}$, room temperature dielectric constant of 15300, and dissipation factor of $0.92\%$.

기본조성이 0.5[Pb(Ni$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_{3}$]-0.5[0.65PbTiO$_{3}$ -0.35PbZrO$_{3}$] (PNN-PT-PZ)인 압전세라믹스를 NaCl-KCI를 사용한 flux의 양 및 소결온도에 따른 생성반응과 소결특성, 유전 및 압전특성을 조사하였다. 이때 1몰의 산화물에 대한 flux의 양은 0.1, 2 및 5mole로 하였으며 소결온도는 1000-1200.deg.C로 하였다. 본 연구의 flux법은 고상반응법에 비해 낮은 하소온도에서 pyrochlore상을 현저히 줄일수 있었으며 고상반응법보다 낮은 온도에서 치밀화가 이루어질뿐 아니라 유전 및 압전특성을 개선할 수 있었으며 소결온도도 낮출 수 있었다. Flux의 양이 증가할수록 결정의 입성장이 빨랐으며 유전 및 압전특성이 가장 좋은 flux의 첨가량의 조건은 1mole이었다.
