The piezoelectric ceramic resonator using length extensional vibration rather than contour extensional vibration in terms of the size is suitable for personal portable communication. In this paper, $Pb(Zr_{x}Ti_{l-x})O_{3}$ + r[wt%]$Cr_{2}O_{3}$ ceramics, x=0.56, 0.53, 0.50 (ie, Zr/Ti ratios = 56 /44, 53/47, 50/50) r=0, 0.3[wt %], were fabricated. Temperature stability of length extensional vibration mode of those specimens was investigated. Both crystal structure with rhombohedral phase in the case of no addition of $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ and crystal structure with morphotrophic phase boundary in case of additions of 0.3[wt %]$Cr_{2}O_{3}$ had the vest temperature stability and improved temperature stability through thermal aging.

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.

A poled lead zirconate titanate (PZT) cube specimen that is switched by an electric field at room temperature is subject to temperature increase. Changes in polarization and thermal expansion coefficients are measured during temperature rise. The measured data are analyzed to obtain changes in pyroelectric coefficient and strain during temperature change. Empirical formulae are developed using linear or quadratic curve fitting to the data. The nonlinear behavior of the materials during temperature increase is predicted using the developed formulae. It is shown that the calculation results can be compared successfully with the measured values, which proves the accuracy and reliability of the developed formulae for the nonlinear behavior of the materials during temperature changes.

Contour vibration mode piezoelectric transformers were designed and fabricated to the square plate with size of 27.5x27.5x2.6㎟ using PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics. Electrical characteristics of the piezoelectric transformer were investigated for fluorescent lap ballast application. The electrical properties and characteristic temperature rise were measured by oscilloscope and infrared temperature sensor. A 28W fluorescent lamp was successfully driven by the fabricated transformers. The electronic ballast using piezoelectric transformer showed an excellent output power of 28.85[W], efficiency of 86.3% and characteristic temperature rise of 15[$\^{C}$].

In this paper, ultrasonic nozzle and driving circuit were manufactured and their electrical properties were investigated. Uitrasonic nozzle was fabricated using PSN-PMN-PZT ceramics showing excellent piezoelectric characteristics. In order to drive ultrasonic nozzle, PWM controller(KA3525A) was used. With increasing input voltage of nozzle, particle diameters of diesel were increased up tot 16V and then decreased. At the input voltage of 12V, volume particle diameter showed the minimum value of $37.3{\mu}m$ and also at the input voltage of 18V, volume particle diameter showed the maximum value of $51.3{\mu}m$.

The purpose of this study is to develop the material for multiayer piezoelectric ceramic transformer because multiayer piezoelectric transformer must need low sintering temperature. So that PMN-PSN-PZT family ceramics were added with glass brit(SiO$_2$ $.$ PbO). The dielectric and piezoelectric properties were increased with increasing it until the amounts of additive 0.8wt%. Sintering temperature were low about 100[$^{\circ}C$]. Accordingly, This material could be used to multiayer piezoelectric transformer .

Changes in polarization and thermal expansion coefficients during temperature increase of a poled lead zirconate titanate (PZT) cube specimen switched by an electric field at room temperature are measured. The measured data are analyzed to construct governing differential equations for polarization and strain changes. By solving the differential equations, an experimental formula for the high temperature behavior of ferroelectric materials is obtained. It is found that the predictions by the formula are in good agreement with measures. From the viewpoint of macroscopic remnant state variables, it appears that the processes of electric field-induced switching at different temperatures are identical and independent of temperature between $20^{\circ}C$ and $110^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, a disk-type piezoelectric transformer for the high power was investigated with the variation of road resistance. The diameter and thickness of a disk-type piezoelectric transformer was 45mm and 4mm, respectively. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. The ratio of driving electrode and generating electrode is 2:1. The poling direction of driving part and generating part are the same. A voltage step-up ratio increased with increasing the load resistance, $R_L$, so it reached 60 under no road resistance. Also, the maximum efficiency of 97% was obtained.

A new type of piezoelectric transformer using radial vibration of disk, poled with the same direction is proposed. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. The surface ratio of driving electrode and generating electrode of the piezoelectric transformer ranges from 1.4:1 to 3:1. As a experimental 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 97.7% at load resistance of 2k${\Omega}$ was obtained.
