Effects of CuO addition on the electrical responses of the low-temperature sintered Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3–Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics

Dielectric and ferroelectric properties and electric conductivity of sol–gel derived PBZT ceramics

“…Though PZT-type ferroelectrics are known and applicated from many years numerous relevant papers have been published in last years (for example [1][2][3]). (Pb 1−x Ba x ) (Zr 1−y Ti y )O 3 (PBZT) solid solutions are discussed at length in the literature with many practical purposes [4,5].…”

Effect of addition of Ba(W0.5Cu0.5)O3 in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics on the sintering temperature, electrical properties and phase transition

“…However, PZT based ceramics have too high sintering temperature that is above 1200 • C, which induces evaporation of PbO during the sintering process [10]. Therefore, low temperature sintering of materials with maintaining the excellent piezoelectric properties is desirable for the use of high-electrical conductivity Ag metals as internal electrodes in order to reduce the cost during the fabrication process, which can cause serious pollution on the environment during the sintering process [11].…”

Effect of ZnO whisker content on sinterability and fracture behaviour of PZT peizoelectric composites

“…On the other hand, PZT ceramics have been extensively modified with different additives, which make them more attractive for specific applications [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. With the miniaturization and integration of electronic circuits, small-scale piezoelectric devices are technologically important in the fields of smart materials and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) [15].…”
