Effects of MnO2 addition ranged from 0.0wt% to 5.0wt% on the microstructure and dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 Ceramics have been investigated. The solubility limit of MnO2 in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 is about 0.5wt%, and MnO2 as a valence state of Mn3+ is substituted for (Zr, Ti) lattice site in PZT solid-solution. The addition of MnO2 up to 0.5wt% in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 brings increase of density, but decreased of grain size and tetragonality. Dielectric constant slightly decreases, but both coupling factor(Kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) increase with the addition of MnO2. However, excess amount of MnO2 addition more than 0.75wt% results in rapid decrease of resistance. Dielectric constant and tan $\delta$ increase due to the second phase and inhomogeneous Mn distribution.

In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated using $Li_2CO_3$, $Na_2CO_3$, ZnO as sintering aids and their piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated according to the Bi substitution, Bi substitution induced grain growth and increase of sinterablity, And also, Bi substitution suppress secondary phase due to the liquid phase sintering effect. Bi substitution enhanced electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) and dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$), However, mechanical quality factor($Q_m$) was deteriorated, At the sintering temperature of 870 $^{\circ}C$ and Bi substitution of 1 mol%, density, electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$), mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$), Dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$) and piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) of specimen showed the optimum values of 7,878 $g/cm^3$, 0,608, 835, 1603 and 397 pC/N, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

$0.10Pb(Sb_{1/2}Sn_{1/2})O_3-0.25PbTiO_3-0.65PbZrO_3$ specimens doped with $ MnO_2\;(0.18\;mol\%)$ and $Y_2O_3\;(0\~0.4\;wt\%)$ were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method. All specimens showed the typical XRD patterns of a perovskite polycrystalline structure and the lattice constant decreased with increasing amount of $Y_2O_3$. The relative dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the specimens doped with $0.2\;wt\%\;Y_2O_3$ were 704 and 0.0201, respectively. The remanent polarization, the coercive field and the pyroelectric coefficient of the specimen doped with $0.2\;wt\%\;Y_2O_3$ were $10.88\times10^{-2}Cm^{-2},\;11.12\times10^2kVm^{-1}$ and $5.03\times10^{-4}Cm^{-2}K^{-1}$ at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The figures of merit, $F_V$ for the voltage responsivity and $F_D$ for the specific detectivity, of the specimen doped with $0.2\;wt\%\;Y_2O_3$ were the good values of $3.04\times10^{-2}\;m^2C^{-1}\;and\;1.50\times10^{-5}\;Pa^{-1/2}$, respectively.

This paper was to measure the structure, piezoelectric properties of 0.05Pb($A1_{0.5}$$Nb_{0.5}$)-0.95Pb($Zr_{0.52}$$Ti_{0.48}$)$O_3$ ceramics dopped with additive after creating the specimens with a general method. It is shown that X-ray diffraction pattern variation of lines (200) have tendency to move in simple peak by addition of additive. According to the increase of $Cr_2$$O_3$, tetragonality hardly have variation, according to the increase of $Fe_2$$O_3$, tetragonality decreased on the whole. According to dopping with $Cr_2$$O_3$ and $Fe_2$$O_3$, electromechanical factor(kp) largely increased, in case of sintering at $1200^{\circ}C$ kp was maximum value of 40.04[%] at $Cr_2$$O_3$ 0.3wt%, and maximum value of kp 42.9 [%] at $Fe_2$$O_3$, 0.9wt%. In case of sintering at 120$0^{\circ}C$, mechanical duality factor(Qm) was maximum value of Qm 268.8 at $Cr_2$$O_3$, 0.9 wt%.

Lead oxide based ceramics, represented by PZT, are the most widely used materials for piezoelectric actuators, sensors, and transducers due to their excellent piezoelectric properties. In particular, high-performance multilayered piezoelectric ceramics for advanced electronic components have drawn great attention. In order to develop piezoelectric ceramics capable of being sintered at low temperature for multilayer piezoelectric device applications, the effect of CuO additions on the microstructures and electromechanical properties of the 0.4Pb$(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.25PbZrO_3-0.35PbTiO_3$ ceramics was investigated. The samples with CuO addition were synthesized by ordinary sintering technique. X-ray diffractions indicated that all samples formed a single phase perovskite structure. The addition of CuO improved the sinterability of the samples and caused an increase in the density and grain size at low temperature. The optimum sintering temperature was lowered by CuO additions. Excellent piezoelectric and electromechanical responses, $d_{33}$ ~ 663 pC/N, $k_p$ ~ 0.72, were obtained for the samples of high density with 0.1 wt% CuO addition sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 4 h in air. These results show that the piezoelectric properties of PMNZT ceramics can be improved by controlling the microstructure and this system is potentially a good candidate as multilayer piezoelectric device for a wide range of electro-mechanical transducer applications.

In this study, the microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of $0.15Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.85(PbZr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})O_3$(0.15PNN-0.85PZT) ceramics having compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary(MPB) was investigated with respect to the variation of $Y_2O_3$ and $Ga_2O_3$ addition amount. The dielectric properties increased and piezoelectric properties decreased with increasing the amount of $Ga_2O_3$. The solubility limit of $Y_2O_3$ is 0.5mol% in this system. The electro-mechanical coupling factor$(K_p)$ and dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) were 58.6% and 1755 when the amount of $Y_2O_3$ are 0.5mol%.
