    Notes: Investigations of the polarization versus electric field (P-E) and strain versus electric field (cursive-epsilon-E) responses for "hard" Pb(Zr1−xTix)O3 piezoelectric ceramics have been performed under various uniaxial stresses (σ) and ac electrical drive fields. Investigations revealed a significant decrease in the remanent polarization of specimens with increasing σ. Subsequent calculations of the longitudinal electromechanical coupling coefficient (k33) and acoustic power density revealed significant enhancements with increasing σ. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric thin layers were investigated by interferometry as a function of frequency and dc electric bias. Materials included: a ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) with a Zr/Ti ratio of 53/47; a relaxor ferroelectric La-modified PZT with a Zr/Ti ratio of 70/30 and a La content of 7.8 at. %; and antiferroelectric lead zirconate. The hysteretic behavior of the piezoelectric coefficient due to polarization reversal was also studied. The layers were prepared by a sol-gel method, and were found to have properties similar to bulk ceramics. Significant strain levels could be achieved in the materials due to the relatively high electric strengths supported in thin-layer form. Polarization was found to be completely switchable between forward and reverse directions; however, the strain levels generated by switching were found to be inequivalent. In addition, pronounced piezoelectric relaxations and strong piezoelectric losses were observed.

    Notes: In this study a systematic microstructural characterization of La-modified lead zirconate titanate was carried out by hot- and cold-stage transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction. The existence of 1/2[111] superlattice reflections (F spots) became evident near 300 °C on cooling. The intensity of the F spots was found to increase with decreasing temperature, approaching a near constant intensity below 100 °C. In conjunction with compositional studies, it was proposed that the F spots arise from a doubling of the unit cell associated with a tilting of oxygen octahedra. The presence of F spots at temperatures approaching the onset of local polarization was then interpreted as the existence of a hierarchy of domain states. This hierarchy was proposed to consist of an average-cubic macroscopic structure containing rhombohedral micropolar regions on the scale of 50–100 A(ring) that contain ferroelastic microtwins on the scale of several tens of angstroms.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of phase stability for tin-modified lead zirconate titanate solid solution ceramics Pb(0.98)Nb0.02[(Zr1−x, Snx)1−yTiy]1−zO3 (PZST) was investigated by hot-stage transmission electron microscopy. Compositions studied included, a material that was antiferroelectric (AFE) at room temperature with x=0.42 and y=0.04, and a material that was ferroelectric (FE) at room temperature with x=0.43 and y=0.08 (abbreviated as PZST 42/4/2 and 43/8/2, respectively). PZST 42/4/2 was found to exhibit a sequence of phase transformations on heating of AFE–multicell cubic (MCC)–simple cubic (SC), whereas PZST 43/8/2 had a sequence of FE-AFE-MCC-SC. Previously referred to F spots (i.e., 1/2[111] superlattice spots) were observed in all four phases. The diffraction intensities for the F spots decreased with increasing temperature, and eventually disappeared above 300 °C. Electron diffraction confirmed the presence of the MCC phase which was characterized by the existence of weak 1/2[110] superlattice spots in the temperature region between the AFE and SC phases. In each composition the AFE phase was characterized by arrays of one-dimensional antiphase domain boundaries and (1/x)[110] superlattice spots. The modulation wavelength for the superlattice spots was found to be a strong function of temperature and was incommensurate with the lattice. The thermal stability of phases in the crystalline solution PZST system is discussed in terms of the observed microstructural features.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of the complex refractive indices of SbSI, MoS2, and BiVO4 have been investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The wavelength of maximum temperature dependence was identified for an in depth study of the sensitivity of the reflectance coefficient to a small ac temperature modulation. It was found feasible to detect temperature changes of 10−3, 10−2, and 10−2 °C by monitoring the reflectance coefficient of SbSI, MoS2, and BiVO4, respectively, using null ellipsometry. It is thus possible to use the pyro-optic phenomena for long wavelength infrared imaging, analogous to pyroelectrics.

    Notes: In this paper, we report the development of a simple but precise piezoelectric spectrometer using a Michelson–Morley interferometer. The measurement system has been developed to study the frequency and temperature dependence of the complex piezoelectric and electrostriction coefficients of ferroelectric materials. The spectral data are collected by computer and has significantly wider frequency range and lower noise than other such systems. Results are reported for a quartz sample, a La-modified lead zirconate titanate ferroelectric, and a lead zirconate titanate sol-gel derived ferroelectric thin film. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The strain versus electric field (ε−E) and strain versus stress (ε−σ) response characteristics of 〈001〉-oriented crystals of Pb(BI1/3BII2/3)O3–PbTiO3 have been investigated. Under zero field, a ferroelastic switching has been observed under moderate uniaxial prestress levels. The magnitude of the elastic strain switched was ∼0.4%. In addition, an elastic softening was observed during switching, where the elastic constant decreased from ∼1010 to ∼3×109 N/m2. At higher stresses, the elastic constant stiffened to ∼5×1010 N/m2, which upon application of dc electrical bias softened to ∼1010 N/m2. The importance of ferroelastic switching and elastic nonlinearity is discussed. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The electromechanical performance characteristics of 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.3PbTiO3 ceramics and 〈001〉-oriented crystals have been investigated under uniaxial stress (σ). The results demonstrate that 〈001〉-oriented crystals have an electromechanical coupling coefficient of ∼0.9 for σ less than 4×107 N/m2. The results also demonstrate that the acoustical energy density of ceramics and 〈001〉-oriented crystals are not significantly different at field levels below 15 kV/cm. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The high-field polarization behavior of electrostrictive Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 ceramics has been investigated as a function of measurement frequency, drive field, and temperature. It was observed that hysteretic losses increase with increasing frequency. Significant variations in loss were found between specimens of similar composition obtained from different sources, which became more pronounced with increasing temperature. The results indicate that careful synthesis and processing are crucial to the thermal stability of electrostrictive ceramics in high-power source applications. Further investigations revealed the potential use of accelerated aging by substituent introduction for mitigation of thermal stability concerns. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The electromechanical properties of 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.3PbTiO3 〈001〉-oriented crystals have been investigated under unaxial stress (σ). The results demonstrate enhanced piezoelectric coefficients and electroacoustic power densities with increasing σ. However, these increases are accompanied by significant increases in hysteretic losses. The results also demonstrate that the electromechanical coupling coefficient (∼0.92) is relatively independent of σ between 0 and 6×107 N/m2. Future transducer designs can rely on piezocrystals offering a k33 of 0.92, 10 dB more power, and low losses under operational conditions of σ〈107 N/m2 and 5〈T〈40 °C. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
