Effect of ZnO and CuO on the Sintering Temperature and Piezoelectric Properties of a Hard Piezoelectric Ceramic

“…One of the most popular high‐power materials, which is widely used in various commercial applications, is APC 841, manufactured by American Piezo‐Ceramics (APC) International (Mackeyville, PA). Extensive studies have been conducted on APC 841 in the last decade and have been reported in numerous publications 1–9 . Previously, we examined the use of this material for single and multilayer transformers 1,6–8 .…”

Polarization dynamics over broad time and field domains in modified ferroelectrics

“…Furthermore, fractal domains have recently been used to understand long-time polarization dynamics in various modified PZTs. 10,11,25 The results of our investigation demonstrate that soft ferroelectrics contain such heterogeneities under field for EрE c , which control the dynamics of polarization switching. These heterogeneities are conceptually similar to the long-lived ones observed in relaxor ferroelectrics under weak field drive.…”

Effect of donor and acceptor dopants on fatigue properties in PZT thin films

“…However, 14% reduction of switchable polarization at 10 8 cycles was less than 17% found at 10 8 cycles in PZT thin films. It was demonstrated that a hard PZT was more stable under a continuous cyclical drive compared to pure PZT due to their inherent polarization pinning effect and good electrical strength [10].…”
