Dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of low temperature sintering PCW-PMN-PZT ceramics with amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition

$Nb_2O_5$ 첨가에 따른 저온소결 PCW-PMN-PZT 세라믹스의 유전 및 압전 특성

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering ultrasonic vibrator, PCW-PMN-PZT ceramics with the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition were manufactured. All of the fabricated sample showed pure pervoskite structure of tetragonal phase. With increasing the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition, mechanical quality factor Qm were increased up to 0.2wt%$Nb_2O_5$ addition and then decreased. And also, with increasing the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition, grain size, kp, density and dielectric constant were linearly decreased. At the 0.2wt% $Nb_2O_5$ addition composition ceramic, kp of 0.48, Qm of 2186, ${\varepsilon}r$ of 1219 were shown, respectively. Their values were suitable for ultrasonic vibrator application.
