A study on the grain growth and PLZT ceramics fabrication by freeze drying method

동결건조법에 의한 PLZT 세라믹제조 및 결정립 성정에 관한 연구

In this study, PLZT ceramics were fabricated by the freeze-drying and normal sintering method. The composition rate of the specimen was selected 9/65/35(La/Zr/Ti) which had good optical and dielectric properties, sintering time was varied 1, 10, 30, 50, 55, 60 and 65(hr) at 1250(.deg.C). After sintering, the optical and dielectric properties were investigated with the grain size. As the result of the experiment, the particle size of the powder prepared by freeze-drying method was less than 1(um). The relative dielectric constant was increased linearly with the sintering time and specimen sintered for 65(hr) had the highest value, 5780. Grain was grown with increasing time, in the case of specimen sintered for 60(hr), the grain size was 8.4(um). Transmittance was increased with the grain size. In the case of 8.4(um) grain size, the transmittance was 56(%). Curie temperature was decreased linearly by the surface-layer effect of space-charge. In the case of grain size, 1.8(um), 8.4(um), curie temperatures were appeared at 100(.deg.C) and 80(.deg.C), respectively.
