The dependence of strength, crack growth, fracture mode and degree of domain rearrangement of PZT ceramics on poling strength were studied. The PZT [(Pb0.94Sr0.06)(Zr0.46Ti0.54)O3+Nb(trace)] specimens were poled at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 kv/mm, and the strength of the specimens was measured by 3 point flexure system. The bending strength of the specimen decreased in different modes according to the bending directions; xz, zx and yz plane direction with x axis of the poling direction in Cartesian coordinate system. The strength differences between the directions increased as the poling strength increased. The fracture mode transferred to intergranular fracture mode from transgranular one as the poling strength increased. The mechanical breakdown occurred when the poling strength higher than 3 kV/mm was applied to the specimen. It was observed that the crack length increased in the normal direction to the poling direction, however, decreased in the parallel direction to the poling direction when the poled PZT specimen was indented by the Vickers indenter. However, the crack produced by indentation continuously was continuously increased little by little after indentation on the specimen. The domain rearrangement occurred as the poling strength increased and the domains were rearranged more effectively when the electric field was continuously increased little by little.

A current research basically diverted towards an increase in the operational output with the minimization of the materials used, which ultimately scaled down the dimensions of ceramic electronic components. In this direction the nano-technology pave the revolutionary changes in particular the electronic industries. The applications of nano-sized particles or nano-sized materials are hence, playing a significant role for various purposes. The PZT(lead, zirconium, titanium) based ceramics which, are reported to be ferroelectric materials have their important applications in the areas of surface acoustic waves (SAW), filters, infrared detectors, actuators, ferroelectric random access memory, speakers, electronic switches etc. Moreover, these PZT materials possess the large electro mechanical coupling factor, large spontaneous polarization, low dielectric loss and low internal stress etc. Hence, keeping in view the unique properties of PZT piezoelectric ceramics we also tried to synthesize indigenously the small sized PZT ceramic powder in the laboratory by using the modified sol-gel approach. In this paper, propyl alcohol based sol-gel method was used for preparation of PZT piezoelectric ceramic. The powder obtained by this sol-gel process was calcined and sintering to reach a pyrochlore-free crystal phase. The characterization of synthesized material was carried out by the XRD analysis and the surface morphology was determined by high resolution scanning electron microscopy.

A new water energy harvester module, which is composed of piezoelectric bimorph cantilevers, harvesting circuit and a shaft with 16 impellers at a center axis, was fabricated for energy harvesting application. High energy density $Pb(Zr_{0.54}Ti_{0.46})O_3$ + 0.2 wt% $Cr_2O_3$ + 1.0 wt% $Nb_2O_5$ (PZT-CN) thick film obtained by tape casting method was used for the bimorph cantilever. The PZT-CN bimorph cantilever with a proof mass of 49 g exhibited extremely high output power of 22.5 mW (24 $mW//cm^3$) at resonance frequency of 11 Hz. In addition, the fabricated water energy harvester has a cylindrical structure with 48 bimorph cantilevers clamped at inner surface. A significantly high output power of 433 mW was obtained at a rotation speed of 120 rpm with a resistive load of $500{\Omega}$ for the water energy harvester.

In this study, multilayer piezoelectric ceramics was manufactured using the PMW-PNN-PZT ceramics. Then, their physical characteristics for applicaton of electric power generation were investigated according to the numbers of multilayer. With increasing the numbers of multilayer, effective electromechanical coupling factor($k_{eff}$) and capacitance were decreased and increased, respectively.

Effects of binder addition on the porosity, pore size and grain size of PZT ceramics were investigated. The binders were used PVA, PEG and MC, they were added separately and simultaneously. After sintering for 90 min 125$0^{\circ}C$, the porosity and the pore size were determined by using an image processing method. Simultaneous addition of two different binders resulted in the highest sintered density and the large pore size.

In the field of the optics, precise machine, semiconducting processing, the micro-positioning actuators are required for the control of position in the submicron range. In this study, PNN-PZN-PZT ceramics were fabricated by solid state reaction. The structural, dielectric and electric properties were investigated for sintering condition. The specimen sintered for 1hr at 1,150($^{\circ}C$), had the highest density and dielectric contant.

The analysis of degradation phenomena of poled PZT ceramics was investigated relate to piezoelectric equivalent circuit elements. As a result, in the case of impressed mechanical shock on poled specimen of degradation phenomena was explained by domain rearrangement, and in the case of left in air, degradation phenomena was explained by space charge diffusion.

In this paper, the variable tendency of the piezoelectric constant and resonance characteristics of the piezoelectric ceramics due to the electric field is studied. The practical application of piezoelectric ceramics is not only applied in field of small signal. For example, in case of an ultrasonic motor, 120 ${\sim}$ 130Vrms of driving voltage is needed. Therefore, to examine the characteristics of piezoelectric ceramics in large signal contributes to reducing the susceptibility to the multifarious application and securing the ease of the production of control circuit. These contributions may be connected to the expansion of industrial application. We fabricated disk-type piezoelectric ceramic samples by using conventional method and measured the resonance characteristics of these samples under from low to high voltage driving conditions. According to increasing the value of the input voltage, we measured the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric ceramic, and inquired into the cause of these phenomena.

본 연구에서는 1_3형 압전복합체(1-3 type piezo-composite)의 전기-기계적 성능을 수치적으로 분석하였다. PZT 세라믹스의 압전물성 계산치를 실험치와 비교하여 수치 해석방법의 정확성을 검증하였다. 그리고 구성재료의 부피 비 및 물성, PZT 기둥의 종 횡비(aspect ratio) 등이 복합체의 $k_t$특성에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 그 결과, PZT 부피 비가 30 vol%까지 증가함에 복합체의 $k_t$ 특성은 급격하게 증가하다가 그 이상의 영역에서는 일정한 값에 수렴한다. 그리고 상대적으로 유연한 폴리머를 사용한 복합체가 전반적으로 우수한 $k_t$ 특성을 갖는다. 또한 PZT 부피비가 30 % 이하인 경우, 복합체의 $k_t$ 특성은 PZT 기둥의 종횡 비에 많은 영향을 받는다. 그러므로 $k_t$ 특성 향상을 위해서는 상대적으로 유연한 폴리머 및 우수한 압전특성의 PZT를 사용하여 복합체를 구성하는 것이 유리하다.

저온 소결용 압전 세라믹 소결체의 치밀화에 미치는 첨가제의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 $PbZrTiO_3$(PZT) 분말을 제조하였으며, 이 PZT 분말을 이용하여 제조한 압전 세라믹스의 치밀화에 미치는 첨가제의 영향을 조사하였다. 첨가제는 $wB_2O_3-xBi_2O_3-zCuO$와 $LiBiO_2-CuO$ 두 종류가 제조되었으며 이 들 첨가제의 양을 변화 시켜 효과를 조사하였다. PZT 분말에 소결조제로서 1wt.% 의 $LiBiO_2-CuO$를 첨가하여 시편을 제조한 후, $800{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$까지의 온도 범위에서에서 소결한 결과 $900^{\circ}C$에서 최고의 소결밀도를 나타내었다. 소결된 압전체의 결정상을 분석하기 위하여 X-선회절분석을 시행하였으며, $900^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 소결한 $PbZrTiO_3$의 시편의 미세조직을 관찰하기 위하여 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하였다. X-선 회절분석에서는 잘 발달된 PZT 상이 나타났으며, SEM 관찰 결과 평균입경은 $2{\sim}4\;{\mu}m$의 페로브스카이트 결정으로 균일하고 치밀한 조직을 나타내었으며, 높은 소결성은 첨가제에 의한 액상소결에 기인한다.
