In order to enhance energy efficiency in high electric conversion devices such as Power transformers, which need to have high power properties, an alloy design approach in $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3(PZT)$ base ceramic system was attempted $0.03Pb(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_3-0.03Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-(0.94-x)PbTiO_3-xPbZrO_3$[PSN-PMN- PZT] ceramics were synthesized by conventional bulk ceramic processing technique. To improve power properties, the various Zr/Ti ratio was varied ]lear their morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition of PSN-PMN-PZT system and their effects on subsequent piezoelectric and dielectric properties for the transformer application at high power were systematically investigated using an impedance analyzer. Microstructure and phase information were characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and others. When the Zr/Ti ratio was 0.415/0.465, the value of $Q_m\;and\;k_p$ were shown to reach to the maximum, indicating that this alloy design can be a feasible composition :or high power transformer.

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 .

0.03Pb$(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_{3}-0.03Pb(Mn{1/3}Nb{2/3)O_{3}-(0.94-x)PbTiO_{3}-xPbZrO_{3}$ ceramics doped with $CeO_{2}$ were synthesized by conventional bulk ceramic processing technique. Phases analysis, microstructures and piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of $CeO_{2}$ content (0.03, 0.05, 0.1 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 wt%). Microstructures and phases information were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$) and coupling factor(kp) were obtained from the resonance measurement method. Both $Q_{m}$ and $k_{p}$ were shown to reach to the maximum at 0.1 wt% $CeO_{2}$. In order to evaluate the stability of resonance frequency and effective electromechanical coupling factor ($K_{eff}$) as a function of $CeO_{2}$, the variation of resonance and anti-resonance frequency were also measured using a high voltage frequency response analyzer under various alternating electric fields from 10 V/mm to 80 V/mm. It was shown that the stability of resonance frequency and effective electromechanical coupling factor were increased with increasing the $CeO_{2}$ contents.

In this study, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($TCF_r$), dielectric and piezoelectric properties of $Pb_{1-x}Sr_x[(Sb_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})_{0.035}(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.065}(Zr_{0.49},Ti_{0.51})_{0.90}]O_3$ ceramics were investigated with the Sr substitution to Pb site. The dielectric constant was increased according to the increase of Sr substitution and electromechanical coupling factor($k_t$) also showed the highest values of 0.485 when the Sr substitution was 5 mol%. Moreover, the mechanical quality factor($Q_{mt}$) showed the highest value of 233 when the Sr substitution was 2 mol%.

In this paper, the structural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the Pb[(S $b_{1}$2/N $b_{1}$2/)$_{0.035}$- $_Mn_{1}$3/N $b_{2}$3/)$_{0.065}$-(Z $r_{0.49}$, $Ti_{0.51}$)$_{0.90}$] $O_3$ ceramics were investigated with respect to the variation of the milling time. Grain size was decreased as the increase of milling time. As the milling time is increased, the particle size of the powder was decreased. Dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor (Qm)were slowly increased with the increase of milling time. The highest value of Qm was 1,497 at milling time 8 hour. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(TC $F_{r}$) was moved to positive side with the increase of milling time.e.e.e.e.e.e.

In this paper, the 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 50mm and 4.5mm, respectively. The piezoelectric transformer was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. The ratio of driving electrode and generating electrode ranges from 1.4:1 to 3:1. 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 times under no road resistance. also, the maximum efficiency of 97% was obtained.
