The effect of $MnO_{2}$ as a sintering additive on the microstructures and the piezoelectric properties, especially mechanical quality factor, of 0.05 Pb$(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_{3}$-0.95 Pb$(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_{3}$ (PSN-PZT) piezoelectric ceramics was investigated. The samples were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the sample were examined using XRD and FE-SEM, respectively. A study on the influence of $MnO_{2}$ additives on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties showed that the $MnO_{2}$-added PSN-PZT system exhibited a high mechanical quality factor and well-situated piezoelectric properties. The optimized results of $d_{33}$ (319 pC/N), $k_{p}$ (55 %), and $Q_{m}$ (751.24) were obtained at 0.2 wt% $MnO_{2}$ added PSN-PZT piezoelectrics.

The effect of $CeO_2$ as a sintering additive on the microstructure and the piezoelectric property of yPb$(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_3$-(1-y)Pb$(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ ($0{\leq}y{\leq}0.1$, PSN-PZT) for a hypersonic sound speaker (HSS) application was investigated. The samples were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the samples were examined using XRD and FE-SEM, respectively. Study on the influence of $CeO_2$ additives on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties indicated that the $CeO_2$-added PSN-PZT system had a high piezoelectric properties. The optimized results of ${\varepsilon}_r=1209$, $K_p$=52% $d_{33}$=351(pC/N) and $Q_m$=1230.16 were obtained at 0.4 wt.% $CeO_2$-added PSN-PZT.

The most of conventional ultrasonic transducers are constructed to generate either longitudinal or shear waves, but not both of them. We investigated the mechanism of dual mode transducers that generates both of the longitudinal and shear waves simultaneously with a single PZT element. The study has been aimed to find the desired cut by the examining the piezoelectric properties. Theory predicts that a mixed P/S mode transducer can be constructed using a related Z-cut of a PZT ceramics. We studied the performance of a PZT element as a function of its rotation angle so that its efficiency is optimized to excite the two waves equally strongly. The results are verified by checking the impedance variation of the element with Finite Element Methods, and chocking the wave form by pulse-echo test simulation. Based upon the theory a rotated Z-cut was prepared and a transducer were fabricated. Validity of the theory calculation is verified through the

The influence of the direction of applied compressive stress on degradation mechanism ofpoled PZT sample was studied. When compressive stress perpendicular to poling direction was appliedon poled PZT sample, the degradation phenomena was explained by the diffusion of space chargepolarization. On the contrary, compressive stress parallel to poling direction was applied, it wasexplained by the rearrangement of 90" domains. As the grain size increased, the degradation phenomenawas promoted. It is attributed to different internal stress due to difference of grain size. of grain size.

In this study, PZT powder was synthesized by coprecipitation method us ing $Pb(NO_3)2$, $ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ and $TiCl_4$ as starting raw materials. Homogeneous and fine-grained PZT powder was obtained by the coprecipitation method. PZT powder was characterized by DTA, SEM and XRD analysis. The XRD peaks were observed at $600(^{\circ}C)$ and over.

Effect of excess and deficiency of PbO on the sintering and electrical properties of tetragonal Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 were investigated. Fired density revealed maximum value with 4 wt% of excess PbO, and decreased with increasing amount of both excess and deficient PbO. Grain size increased with excess PbO, and decreased with deficiency of PbO. It appeared that excess PbO forms a liquid phase to enhance grain growth and completely volatilizes after sintering, whereas ZrO2 particles formed in PbO-deficient PZT inhibit grain growth. The change in the values of the equivalent circuit elements of PZT corresponded well with thar of porosity formed by excess and deficiency of PbO; kp, Co and Cm decreased while Qm, Rm and Lm increased conosiderably with porosity. This change was more pronounced in PbO-deficient type probably due to change in Zr/Ti ratio of PZT.

본 연구는 3mol% Pb(Sb$_{1}$2/Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_3$가 첨가된 상경계 영역의 Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$(PSN-PZT) 세라믹스에 대하여 RT66A와 광섬유센서를 이용하여, 교류강전계 하에서 압전 및 유전특성을 조사하였다. PSN-PZT 세라믹스의 압전 및 유전 특성에 미치는 non-180$^{\circ}$분역 재배열의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 RT66A와 MTI-2000 Fotonic$^{TM}$ sensor를 이용하여 인가전계와 주파수의 함수로 전계유기변위를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 교류강전계 하에서 전계유기변위는 강전계, 저주파수에서 큰 이력현상을 나타내고, 전계유기변위로부터 결정된 유효압전상수는 주파수가 감소할수록 증가하는 거동을 나타내고 있으며, 이러한 거동은 non-180$^{\circ}$분역 재배열의 영향으로 해석되었다.

The Pb$(Zr{_{0.7}}Ti_{0.3})O_3$[PZT(70/30)] thin films were fabricated on Pt/$TiO_2/SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF sputtering method. The effects of Ar/$O_2$ ratio on the structural and dielectric properties of PZT thin fillms were investigated. In the case of the PZT thin films deposited with condition of 50/50$(Ar/O_2) $ ratio, the grain of the PZT thin films were fine and uniform. Increasing of $O_2$ ratio, the dielectric constant was increased. In this case the dielectirc constant and dielectric loss of PZT thin fims were about 627 and 0.010, respectively.
