Piezoelectric 0.93(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.07BiTiO3 (NKN-BTO) ceramics were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method and their structural and dielectric properties was investigated with the variation of sintering temperature. All specimens were crystallized in the perovskite single phase without any formation of a second phase such as pyrochlore. The average grain size of the NKN-BTO specimen sintered at 1130 ℃ is 0.32 ㎛. The specimen sintered at 1100 ℃ showed the highest relative density of 98%. Electromechanical coupling factor, relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the NKN-BTO specimens sintered at 1110 ℃ were 0.31, 1222 and 0.02, respectively. Curie temperature of the specimen sintered at 1110 ℃ was 445 ℃.

In this study, in order to. develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics using CuO, $Bi_{2}O_{3}\;and\;Li_{2}CO_{3}$ as sintering aids were manufactured with the amount of $WO_{3}$ addition. The ceramics were sintered at $900,\;930,\;960^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thereafter, their microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The $WO_{3}$ was proved to lower the sintering temperature of piezoelectric ceramics due to the effects of PbO and $WO_{3}$ liquid phase. At 0.3 wt% $WO_{3}$ added specimen sintered at $930^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor($k_{p}$), mechanical quality factor($Q_{m}$), dielectric constant and $d_{33}$ showed the optimum values as the values of 0.60, 1,402, 1,440 and 360 pC/N, respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

In this paper, in order to develop optimum composition ceramics with excellent piezoelectric properties, $(Na_{0.525}K_{0.443}Li_{0.037})(Nb_{0.823}Sb_{0.08}Ta_{0.037})O_3+0.3wt%Bi_2O_3+0.4wt%Fe_2O_3$ lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized by conventional soild-state method. The calcination temperature of columbite precursors were fabricated at temperature range from $950^{\circ}C$ to $1,150^{\circ}C$ and sintering aids with low melting point were added to densify these ceramics. Effect of calcination temperature on dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramics were investigated. the ceramics with B-site columbite precursors at temperature of $1,100^{\circ}C$ obtained the optimal values of $d_{33}=272$ [pC/N], $k_p=0.51$, $Q_m=102$, ${\varepsilon}_r=978$.

The formula to calculate a variation of optical path length of single crystal by the electric field was derived by this study. The formula was applied to $Bi_{12}SiO_{20}$ single crystal. The results are as follows. In case of the applied electric field in the body diagonal direction and the passing light along the same direction, the variation of optical path length had the largest value. The symmetry of the space distribution of optical path length satisfied $E3C_2\;8C_3$, the set of elements of the symmetry of $Bi_{12}SiO_{20}$ single crystal. The property which gave the largest influence to the variation of optical path length is the strain of length by the Inverse piezoelectric effect. The second influence, is the variation of the refractive index by the electro-optic effect. The variation of optical path length by the inverse piezoelectric effect and by the electro-optic effect have a reverse sign each other.

The effect of Ta substitution on the crystal structure, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of $Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.82}K_{0.18})_{0.5}Ti_{1-x}Ta_xO_3$ ceramics has been investigated. The Ta doping resulted in a transition from coexistence of ferroelectric tetragonal and rhombohedral phases to an electrostrictive pseudocubic phase, leading to degradations of the remnant polarization, coercive field, and piezoelectric coefficient $d_{33}$. However, the electricfield-induced strain was significantly enhanced by the Ta substitution-induced phase transition and reached a highest value of $S_{max}/E_{max}$ = 566 pm/V under an applied electric field 6 kV/mm when 2% Ta was substituted on Ti sites. The abnormal enhancement in strain was attributed to the pseudocubic phase with high electrostrictive constants.

In this study, in order to develop multilayer piezo-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 enhanced electromechanical coupling factor$(k_p)$ and dielectric constant$({\varepsilon}_r)$. However, mechanical quality factor was deteriorated. At the sintering temperature of $870^{\circ}C$ and Bi substitution of 1mol%, 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 value of $7.878g/cm^3$, 0.608, 835, 1603 and 397pC/N, respectively.

In this study, we investigated the optimum calcination temperature of lead-free $0.74(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3-0.26SrTiO_3$(BNST) piezoelectric ceramics by analyzing the crystal structure, dielectric properties, and electric field-induced strain behavior. BNST ceramics prepared by conventional solid-state reaction methods at various calcination temperatures according to the industrial standard. All samples of BNST ceramics were subsequently sintered at $1,175^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Crystal structure classification of the ceramics showed a single perovskite phase, with no second phase detectable for the samples calcined at $750^{\circ}C$ or higher. BNST samples calcined at $850^{\circ}C$ exhibited the most optimal values for itsand the common physical parameters of $density=5.518g/cm^3$, ${\varepsilon}=1,871.837$, $tan{\delta}=0.047$, and ${d_{33}}^*=874pm/V$.
