Abstract

The piezoelectric and dielectric properties of Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (PZN)-based ceramics were investigated. The perovskite structure of PZN ceramics was stabilized by the addition of Pb(Zn_0.47Ti_0.53)O₃ (PZT). The highest piezoelectric properties were observed for the composition of 0.5PZN-0.5PZT, which lies on the two-phase zone of morphotropic phase boundary. For further improvements in electric properties, the specimens were thermally treated in a flowing O₂ atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 860 to 1030 °C. The thermal treatment eliminated the PbO-rich amorphous intergranular layer by lead evaporation. As a result of this improvement in structure, the dielectric constant (ε′), the piezoelectric coefficient (d₃₃), and the electromechanical coupling factor (k_p), were enhanced markedly after thermal annealing at 960 °C for 8 h in an O₂ atmosphere.
