Energy source of a piezo-electric harvester is vibration. Sources of vibration are machineries operated with high frequencies, constructions and people operated with low frequencies and etc. In this study, we tried to figure out power generation properties over vibrations upon angles of a piezo-cantilever for applying them to movements of the construction and/or people, which are vibration sources at low frequencies. A uni-morph cantilever with a $59mm{\times}29mm{\times}0.2mm$ piezo-electric element attached on a $71mm{\times}46mm{\times}0.25mm$ copperplate was used. A spring was attached to the lower side of the cantilever and a mass was attached on the opposite side. Also, a structure with a specific angle which is an angle in between the ground and the cantilever was prepared and then, connected to a spring or the cantilever. Then, this structure was divided into the A-type and B-type and excited in the direction of z- axis. After that, the angle between the ground and the cantilever was changed and excited by 1 to 10 Hz upon the existence of a spring and/or a mass to compare power generation properties.

In this study, $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})(Nb_{0.97}Sb_{0.03})O_3+0.9$ mol% $K_{5.4}Cu_{1.3}Ta_{10}O_{29}+x$ mol% $K_4CuNb_8O_{23}$ (x = 0, 0.2, 0.6, 0.8) ceramics were prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. Their microstructure and electric properties were investigated. The secondary phase was made by virtue of $K_4CuNb_8O_{23}$ (KCN) addition in the $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})(Nb_{0.97}Sb_{0.03})O_3$ system ceramics. However, the sinterability of the ceramics increased with increasing $K_4CuNb_8O_{23}$ content. At the 0.6 mol% $K_4CuNb_8O_{23}$ added composition ceramics sintered at $1,060^{\circ}C$, kp and $d_{33}$ showed the optimum values of 0.39 and 145 pC/N, respectively, suitable for piezoelectric actuator application.

In this study non-stoichiometric $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.97}(Nb_{0.96-x}Ta_xSb_{0.04})O_3$ ceramics were prepared by the conventional soild-state teaction method. The effect of Ta-substitution on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis of all the specimens less than x= 15 mol% indicated orthorhombic phase. Thereafter, the specimens showed orthorhombic phase near to pseudo-cubic. Sinterablity of all the specimens was improved due to secondary products such as KCT and KCN. The ceramics with x= 5 mol% showed the optimum velues of pizoelectric constant($d_{33}$)= 150 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor (kp)= 0.45, electromechanical quality factor (Qm)= 418.9 and dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$)= 567. Accordingly, These results indicate that the composition ceramics is a promising candidate for lead-free material.

근래의 전기 전자 제품은 기능은 향상되는 반면 크기는 소형화되는 추세에 있다. 기존 입체 형태의 음향 신호 재생 장치로서의 엑츄에이터 대신 압전 소자를 이용한 스피커가 개발되기 시작하였다. 압전 소자는 압전 특성을 갖는 물질로서 물체의 외부에서 전압을 가할 때 기계적인 변형을 일으키는 특징(즉 피에조 특징)을 이용한다. 초기의 필름 스피커는 화학적 성질의 한계로 인하여 전도성 고분자 막을 형성하기 힘들다는 한계가 있었고, 도포한 두께를 균일하게 유지하기 힘들었으며, 음향 신호의 출력과 동작 주파수의 한계가 있다는 등의 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 전도 물질과 피에조 물질(필름)의 결합력을 증가시킴으로써 전도체의 저항을 줄이고 주파수 영역을 확장하고자 한다. 피에조 필름의 표면 접착력을 향상시키고, 고분자 전도체 막의 흡착력을 증가시킴으로써 음향시스템의 출력 향상을 위해 코로나 표면처리방식에 의한 표면 특징을 변화시킴으로써 출력개선을 하였다.

Currently, increasing attention is being paid to relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals in photoacoustic images, especially for high-end applications. Among the crystals are (1-x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-xPbTiO₃ (PMN-100xPT) single crystals located near their morphotropic phase boundary (x = 0.30-0.35) because of their ultrahigh piezoelectric and electromechanical coupling properties. The alternating current poling (ACP) treatment, rather than the conventional direct current poling treatment, has recently been spotlighted due to its effectiveness in enhancing the piezoelectric properties. So far, it has been suggested that the enhanced piezoelectricity originates from either a domain miniaturization to nanodomains or from an electric-field-induced monoclinic symmetry. In this study, we demonstrate by thermally stimulated depolarization current measurements that the effect of ACP is too complex to be explained using a single mechanism and that the proposed electric-field-induced monoclinic symmetry is unlikely to exist.

Dielectric and Piezoelectric properties of complex perovskite 0.92Pb($Zr_{1/2}Ti_{1/2})O_{3}-(0.08-x)Pb(Cu_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}-xPb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.080$) (PZT-PCN-PMN) system were investigated as a function of PMN content. With the increase of PMN content of the sintered specimens, tetragonal phase was coexisted with rhombohedral phase, the dielectric constant was decreased, mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$) was inceased, and optimal sintering temperature was increased up to 1050$^{\circ}C$. For the composition of x = 0.064 sintered at 1050$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, 1939 of maximum mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$), 57$\%$ of electromechanical coupling factor ($k_{p}$), and 1100$^{\circ}C$ of dielectric constant, 0.37$\% $ of dielectric loss (tan $\delta$) were obtained.

Based on the super elastic properties of the shape memory alloy (SMA) and the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric (PZT) ceramics, a kind of hybrid semi-active control device was designed and made, its mechanical properties test was done under different frequency and different voltage. The local search ability of genetic algorithm is poor, which would fall into the defect of prematurity easily. A kind of adaptive immune memory cloning algorithm(AIMCA) was proposed based on the simulation of clone selection and immune memory process. It can adjust the mutation probability and clone scale adaptively through the way of introducing memory cell and antibody incentive degrees. And performance indicator based on the modal controllable degree was taken as antigen-antibody affinity function, the optimization analysis of damper layout in a space truss structure was done. The structural seismic response was analyzed by applying the neural network prediction model and T-S fuzzy logic. Results show that SMA and PZT friction composite damper has a good energy dissipation capacity and stable performance, the bigger voltage, the better energy dissipation ability. Compared with genetic algorithm, the adaptive immune memory clone algorithm overcomes the problem of prematurity effectively. Besides, it has stronger global searching ability, better population diversity and faster convergence speed, makes the damper has a better arrangement position in structural dampers optimization leading to the better damping effect.

The ZnO nanowire (NW)-based nanogenerators (NGs) can have rectifying current and potential generated by the coupled piezoelectric and semiconducting properties of ZnO by variety of external stimulation such as pushing, bending and stretching. So, ZnO NGs needed to enhance durability for stable properties of NGs. The durability of the metal electrodes used in the typical ZnO nanogenerators(NGs) is unstable for both electrical and mechanical stability. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is used as transparent flexible electrode but because of high cost and limited supply of indium, the fragility and lack of flexibility of ITO layers, alternatives are being sought. It is expected that carbon nanotube and Ag nanowire conductive coatings could be a prospective replacement. In this work, we demonstrated transparent flexible ZnO NGs by using CNT/Ag nanowire hybrid electrode, in which electrical and mechanical stability of top electrode has been improved. We grew vertical type ZnO NW by hydrothermal method and ZnO NW was coated with hybrid silicone coating solution as capping layer to enhance adhesion and durability of ZNW. We coated the CNT/Ag nanowire hybrid electrode by using bar coating system on a capping layer. Power generation of the ZnO NG is measured by using a picoammeter, a oscilloscope and confirmed surface condition with FE-SEM. As a results, the NGs using the CNT/Ag NW hybrid electrode show 75% transparency at wavelength 550 nm and small change of the resistance of the electrode after bending test. It will be discussed the effect of the improved flexibility of top electrode on power generation enhancement of ZnO NGs.

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.

Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$(PZT)는 현재 가장 우수한 압전특성을 가진 압전 재료로써, 압전효과와 역압전효과를 이용한 압전 액추에이터, 압전 트랜스듀서, 센서, 레조네이터 등의 활동에 대한 연구과 활발하게 이루어 지고 있다. 그러나 압전성이 우수한 PZT 세라믹스들은 Pb 성분이 포함되어 있기 때문에 환경오염뿐 아니라, 경제적인 측면에서도 많은 문제점을 가지고 있어 최근에는 유해원소인 Pb를 포함하지 않는 친환경 압전 세라믹스에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. (Na, K)$NbO_3$은 뛰어난 특성을 가지고 있어 Pb를 기본조성으로 하는 압전세라믹스를 대체할 수 있는 대표적인 물질중의 하나로 알려져 있다. 그러나, potassium의 수분과의 반응성과, 소결시 휘발로 인해 높은 소결밀도의 NKN을 제조하기 어렵다. 이러한 단점을 보안하기 위해 Hot pressing, Hot forging, SPS 등 여러가지 방법을 이용하여 연구가 수행되고 있지만, 고가의 제조공정을 이용해야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 $BaSrTiO_3$의 새로운 고용체를 추가시켜 기본 NKN 조성보다 소결밀도, 유전 및 압전특성을 향상시키고자 하였다.
