(1-x-y)Pb($Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Ba(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3(0.12{\leq}x{\leq}0.21, 0.24{\leq}y{\leq}0.33$) ternary compound ceramics were fabricated by the mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were 1050 [$^{\circ}C$], 2[hr]. Morphotropic phase boundary region was chosen for the composition. 0.55 PZN-0.21 BZN-0.24 PT specimen had the highest value of relative dielectric constants, 5353. The curie temperature of specimens were increased linearly with PT content. Near the morphotropic phase boundary, electro-mechanical coupoling factor and mechanical quality factor of the specimens had the highest values.

PSZT are selected and SHS are applied to each system. The sintering properties of PSZT powders showed $7.754g/cm^3$ of sintered density and $4{\mu}m$ of grain size at sintering temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$. Curie temperature lowered gradually from $363.6^{\circ}C\;to\;319.2^{\circ}C$ and relative dielectric constants increased rapidly by a quantity of Sr. This remarkable contrast in dielectric properties with powder preparation methods, in this study, was not due to grain size and sintered density but rather a crystallinity and sinterability of synthesized powders, extra-supplied Pb during reaction, mol fraction of rhombohedral phase and purity of starting materials.

As the electrostrictive actuator for optic control, PZN-BT-PT ceramics were investigated for the influences of sintering conditions on the structural, electrostrictive properties and the optical properties of Fabry-perot Interferometer using eletrostrictive ceramics. The specimen SS15T, sintered 1hr at 1150$^{\circ}C$, is sutible for eletrostrictive actuator because its piezoelectric constants(dS131T) and strain(XS131T) at dc 10kV/cm had the higest value of 175${\times}$10S0-12TC/N, -255${\times}$10S0-6TΔl/l respectively. As the dc electric field increased, the interference effect of Fabry-Perot Interferometer was increased. The most intense interference fringe and the maximum power of 160${\mu}$W were observed at dc 6kV/cm. Thus it was considered that specimen SS15T could be used as the electrostrictive actuator for optic control.

Temperature stabilities of dielectric constraints and resonant frequencies of the substrates are very important in piezoelectric ceramics oscillators and filters. In this study, it was investigated temperature stability of the length-extensional vibration mode of Pb(Zr$\_$y/Ti$\_$1-y/)O$_3$+x[wt%]Cr$_2$O$_3$ ceramics. The mode can be utilized in fabricating ultra-small 455 kHz IF devices. Addition of Cr$_2$O$_3$ in morphotrophic phase PZT decreased the variations of dielectric constant, electro-mechanical coupling factor k$\_$31/ and resonant frequency by thermal shock. As additive weight of Cr$_2$O$_3$increased, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency changed from positive number to negative one. And the composition tith temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was shifted to the one with increased Cr$_2$O$_3$ additive weigh by thermal aging.

Phase evolution, microstructure and the electrical properties such as $k_p$ and $Q_m$ of $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3[PMN]-Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O3[PM'N]-PbZrO_3[PZ]-PbTiO_3[PT]$ quaternary system were investigated within the compositional ranges $0{\leq}y{\leq}0.125$, y+z=0.125, and $0.39{\leq}x{\leq}0.54$ of the formula $Pb_{0.97}Sr_{0.03}[Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_y\;(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_z\;(Zr_{x}Ti_{1-x})_{1-(y+z)}]O_3$. In the case of increasing Mn/(Mg+Mn) ratio for a fixed Zr/Ti ratio of 47.5/52.5, phase relation remained unchanged but the grain size drastically decreased, and the electrical properties changed as following: both $k_P$ and $Q_m$ reached the peak values at $Mn/(Mg+Mn)\cong0.3l7$ and gradually decreased; $\varepsilon33^T$ showed a monotonic decrease; P-E hysteresis loop gradually changed to asymmetrical one, and $E_i$ increased in correspondence. With increasing Zr/Ti ratio for a fixed Mn/(Mg+Mn) ratio of 0.317, on the contrary, the cell parameter $(\alpha^2c)^{1/3}$ gradually increased, and tetragonal-rhombohedral morphotropic phase boundary appeared in the range of $51/49{\leq}Zr/Ti{\leq}54/46$. the meantime, the grain size substantially increased, and the electrical properties changed as following: $k_P$ and $\varepsilon33^T$ reached peak values at Zr/Ti=51/49 and 48/52, respectively, and then gradually decreased; change of $Q_m$ was adverse to $k_P$; both $E_C\;and\;E_i$ considerably decreased while $P_S$ moderately increased. For the system 0.125(PMN+PM'N)-0.875PZT studied, the composition Mn/(Mg+Mn)=0.3l7 and Zr/Ti=51/49 revealed some promising electrical properties for piezoelectric transformer application such as $k_P=0.58,\;Q_m\cong1000$, and $\varepsilon^T_{33}=970$, as well as dense and fine-grained microstructure.

Thickness dependence of orientation on piezoelectric and electrical properties was investigated by PZT (52/48) films by diol based sol-gel method. The thickness of each layer by spinning at one time was $0.2{\mu}m$ and crack-free films could be successfully deposited on 4 inches Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by 0.5 mol solutions in the range from $0.2{\mu}m$ to $3.8{\mu}m$. Excellent P-E hysteresis curves were achieved, which were attributed to the well-densified PZT films and columnar grain without pores or any defects between interlayers. The (111) preferred orientation of films were shown in the range of thickness below $1{\mu}m$. As the thickness increased, the (111) preferred orientation disappeared from $1{\mu}m$ to $3{\mu}m$ region, and the orientation of films became random above $3{\mu}m$. Dielectric constants and longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient, $d_{33}$, measured by pneumatic method were saturated around the value of about 1400 and 300 pC/N respectively above the thickness of $1{\mu}m$.

Piezoelectric composites have been widely used in broadband acoustic transducers because of their lower acoustic impedance and higher electro-mechanical coupling factor. However, their complex structure has placed many limitations on the design of various transducers. This paper suggests the methodology to substitute the 1-3 piezocomposites by a single-phased material that has properties equivalent to those of the piezocomposites. The resonant method and finite element analysis (FEA) are used to derive the equivalent properties that can accurately depict resonant properties at various vibration modes of the piezocomposites. Validity of the suggested method is confirmed by comparing frequency characteristics of fabricated 1-3 piezocomposite specimens and FEA models. Further, accuracy of the derived material constants is checked by applying the equivalent properties to FEA models of the single phase material for various resonant modes.

Nonlinearity parameter is an inherent property of materials measuring fundamental acoustic amplitude($A_1$) and second harmonic amplitude($A_2$). However, measurement of $A_1$ and $A_2$ has complex calibration procedure, many researchers prefer to measure relative nonlinearity parameter rather than absolute nonlinearity parameter. But, relative nonlinearity parameter is only detect materials degradation with various degradation samples, it is limited application in determining third order elastic constants of materials. Therefore, in this study, the piezoelectric detection method is adopted to measure absolute nonlinearity parameter due to experimental simplicity compare to capacitive detector. Linearity of measurement system is verified by $A_1^2vsA_2$ plot, and we measured ultrasonic nonlinearity parameters of fused silica and Al2024-T4.

In this study, we investigated structural, electrical characteristics and studied the conditions which improved hydrostatic constants in hydrophones as we changed x = 0.1, 0.25, 0.35, 0.4 and y = 0.04, 0.08, 0.12, 0.16 in $(Pb_{1-x}Ca_x)[(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_yTi_{1-0.01}Mn_{0.01}]O_3$ ceramics in which Ca was substituted with Pb and $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ was added to decrease sintering temperature in $PbTiO_3$. When Ca was substituted 0.25[mol], the largest electro-mechanical anisotropy ($k_t/k_p$) was found ($k_t{\fallingdotseq}50,k_p{\fallingdotseq}4$), and the less $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ and the stronger poling field, the larger this anisotropy was. When Ca=0.25[mol], $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3=0.08[mol]$ were substituted, ($k_t/k_p$)(=12, 3) was large, permittivity was low and hydrostatic constants were high. Therefore, this composition is promising as wide band ultrasonic devices in water.
