Effect of $MnO_2$ on the PSN-PNN-PZT Ceramics

$MnO_2$가 PSN-PNN-PZT 세라믹스에 미치는 영향

In this study, to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for piezoelectric transformer, PSN-PNN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured as a function of $MnO_2$ addition. Its dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. With increasing the amount of $MnO_2$ addition, electromechanical coupling factor(kp) were increased until 0.3wt% $MnO_2$ and that after decreased. mechanical quality factor(Qm) showed the maxinum value at 0.5wt% $MnO_2$. For piezoelectric transformer application, the 0.5wt% $MnO_2$ added specimen sintered at $1,000^{\circ}C$ showed the proper value of ${\varepsilon}r$= 1,646, kp=0.55 and Qm=439.
