Lanthanum substituted lead zirconate-titanate (PLZT) ceramics of composition 11.1/55/45 have been studied by measuring high electric field properties. Dc bias, dielectric and P-E hysteresis loop measurements have been employed to construct an E (electric field) versus T (temperature) phase diagram. At lower temperatures and small electric fields an antiferroelectric phase with tetragonal symmet...

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 ...

This paper relates to vibration control using passive electrical shunt circuits. However, the vibration shunt control efficiency relies on the optimization of the vibration energy transfer between a structure and a Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) piezoelectric ceramic material. The problem is further complicated by the material composition of the substrate or host material the PZT is coupled to. ...

The magnetization switching of Co0 25Pd0 75 alloy film on Pb(Zr0 52Ti0 48)O3 substrate was studied by measuring the polar Kerr rotation hysteresis loops and their electric field dependencies. It was found that the direction of spontaneous magnetization in CoPd alloy film was easily controllable via the inverse piezoelectric effect of the lead zirconate titanate layer, judging from the change of...

Lanthanum zirconate (LZO) has high-temperature advantages including high melting point, low thermal conductivity and structure stability, which the potential to be used in insulation field. However, mechanical properties of LZO porous ceramics have limited further applications. In this work, nanofibrous membranes were prepared by electrospinning, preparation parameters PVP content, spinning vol...
