Nonlinear properties of lead zirconate–titanate piezoceramics

چکیده
Nonlinear properties of lead zirconate-titanate ~PZT! piezoceramics are investigated using ultrasonic second harmonic generation technique. When a sinusoidal ultrasonic wave of frequency v0 is sent into a nonlinear material, the second harmonic wave with frequency 2v0 is generated. Through measuring the absolute amplitude of the fundamental (v0) and of the second harmonic (2v0) waves, the ultrasonic nonlinearity parameter b can be determined, which involves certain combinations of the third-order elastic constants and piezoelectric coefficients. We report the measured nonlinear parameters for four types of doped PZT ceramics, PZT-4, PZT-5A, PZT-5H, and PZT-5H HD, which are widely used in practice. We found that the nonlinear parameter is much more sensitive than the linear parameter in responding to microstructural changes in piezoceramics. It could be used to distinguish unpoled samples from depoled samples, which are undistinguishable in terms of the linear parameters. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~01!02001-1#

متن کاملEffect of Film Thickness on the Piezoelectric Properties of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thick Films Fabricated by Aerosol Deposition
Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick films with uniformly dispersed submicrometer pores were successfully fabricated on platinized silicon substrates with various thicknesses ranging from 1 lm to over 100 lm by aerosol deposition. Mixed powders of PZT and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were deposited for initial fabrication of composite films. After burn-out of the PVDF phase from the composite ...

Wetting of the pore walls of porous templates is a simple and convenient method to prepare nanotubes. Ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate and barium titanate nanotubes were fabricated by wetting of porous silicon templates of polymeric precursors. The ferroand piezoelectric properties of an individual ferroelectric either of a PZT or a BaTiO3 nanotube were electrically characterized by measur...

The photochemical growth of silver nanoparticles on the negative domains of lead zirconate titanate thin films is reported. A sample of highly [100] orientated lead zirconate titanate, with a ratio of 30:70, that was 65-70 nm thick grown on Pt-coated MgO was poled by use of piezoresponse force microscopy to produce defined regions of surface positive and negative polarization. A comparison betw...
متن کاملThe Effect of Acceptor and Donor Doping on Oxygen Vacancy Concentrations in Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT)
The different properties of acceptor-doped (hard) and donor-doped (soft) lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics are often attributed to different amounts of oxygen vacancies introduced by the dopant. Acceptor doping is believed to cause high oxygen vacancy concentrations, while donors are expected to strongly suppress their amount. In this study, La3+ donor-doped, Fe3+ acceptor-doped and La3+/F...
