Description:
Cuboidal shaped PZT powder particles based composition Pb 0.89 (Ba, Sr) 0.11 (Zr 0.52 Ti 0.48 )O 3 co- doped with 1 mol% manganese and 2 mol% fluorine was prepared through hydrothermal route. 200-250nm size cuboidal particles were observed under FE-SEM. XRD technique revealed that the perovskite type ceramic structure has a dominant rhombohedral phase. The resultant powder particles were then spray dried, uniaxially pressed and sintered at different temperatures to achieve maximum theoretical density. 98% density was obtained in the pellets at a sintering temperature of 1190°C with an average grain size of 1-3um. The electrical properties of sintered samples were also measured before and after poling to evaluate the effect of dopants on piezoelectric properties.
