The laser patterning of sputter-deposited CoNdZr/Cu/CoNbZr multi-layered films had been tried using Nd:YAG laser. However generally it is very difficult to remove metal films because of their high reflectance of the laser on the surfaces. As a counterproposal for this problem authors for the first time tried to deposit energy-absorbing layers on the metal films and then irradiated the laser on the surfaces of energy-absorbing layers. Here the energy-absorbing layers consisted of laser energy-absorbing fine powders and binding polymers. Three kinds of powders for the energy-absorbing layers had been used to see the difference in the pattern formation with the degree of laser energy absorption. They were electrically conductive silver powders insulating BaTiO$_3$powder and semiconducting carbon powder. Remarkable difference in width of the formed pattern and the roughness of pattern edge were observed with the characteristic of the powder for the energy-absorbing layer. The pattern width using carbon paste was about three times larger than that using BaTiO$_3$paste. It was observed that the energy-absorbing layer with carbon was the most effective on this micro-patterning.

In this paper, we present the results of a preliminary study on the piezoelectric energy harvesting performance of a Zr-doped $PbMg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3-PbTiO_3$ (PMN-PZT) single crystal beam. A novel piezoelectric beam cantilever structure is used to demonstrate the feasibility of generating AC voltage during a state of vibration. The energy-harvesting capability of a PMN-PZT beam is calculated and tested. The frequency response of the cantilever device shows that the first mode resonance frequency of the excitation model exists in the neighborhood of several hundreds of hertz, which is similar to the calculated value. These tests show that several significantly open AC voltages and sub-mW power are achieved. To test the possibility of a small scale power source for a ubiquitous sensor network service, energy conversion and the testing of storage experiment are also carried out.

In this study, we investigated the possibilty that $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3-PbZrO_3$ ceramics with strontium substitutions could be used for piezoelectric sounders. Piezoelectric buzzer is one of them. By partially substituting Sr for Ph, dielectric constants had values greater than 2000, the value proper piezoelectric buzzer, piezoelectric constant($d_{31}$) had a maximum value, 298 $[10^{-12}C/N]$, at the Sr 5 mol % substitution. Sound level of piezoelectric buzzer had the highest value of 91 dB at the Sr 5 mol % substitution.

기본조성이 0.5[Pb(Ni$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_{3}$]-0.5[0.65PbTiO$_{3}$ -0.35PbZrO$_{3}$] (PNN-PT-PZ)인 압전세라믹스를 NaCl-KCI를 사용한 flux의 양 및 소결온도에 따른 생성반응과 소결특성, 유전 및 압전특성을 조사하였다. 이때 1몰의 산화물에 대한 flux의 양은 0.1, 2 및 5mole로 하였으며 소결온도는 1000-1200.deg.C로 하였다. 본 연구의 flux법은 고상반응법에 비해 낮은 하소온도에서 pyrochlore상을 현저히 줄일수 있었으며 고상반응법보다 낮은 온도에서 치밀화가 이루어질뿐 아니라 유전 및 압전특성을 개선할 수 있었으며 소결온도도 낮출 수 있었다. Flux의 양이 증가할수록 결정의 입성장이 빨랐으며 유전 및 압전특성이 가장 좋은 flux의 첨가량의 조건은 1mole이었다.

Characteristics of piezoelectric thick films prepared by screen printing were investigated. The piezoelectric thick films were fabricated using Pb(Al,Nb)O$_3$-Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ system on Si-substrate. The fabricated thick films were burned out at 400$^{\circ}C$ and sintered at 850∼1000$^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal annealing(RTA) precess. The thickness of piezoelectric thick films were 10$\mu\textrm{m}$. PAN-PZT thick film on Ag-Pd/SiO$_2$/Si prepared at 900$^{\circ}C$/1300sec had remanent polarization of 19.70 ${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

The multilayer piezoelectric transformer was manufactured using $Pb(Zn_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3-Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr_{0.48}Ti_{0.52})O_3$ (abbreviated as PZW-PMN-PZT) ceramics and their electrical properties were investigated. The $k_{eff}$ of the input and the output calculated from the resonant and anti-resonant frequencies were 0.403 and 0.233, respectively. The voltage step-up ratio showed the maximum value in the vicinity of 81kHz. The multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the temperature rise of about $36^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 12w.

The ceramics in the system 0.5[Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3]-0.5[0.65PbTiO3-0.35PbZrO3] were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method, double calcined method (columbite precursor method) and flux method using NaCl-KCl. Amount of pyrochlore phase for the calcined powders, sintering charateristrics, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were then investigated. Sintering temperature was 1000~120$0^{\circ}C$ and in case of flux method, the amount of flux to oxide was 1 : 1 mole ratio. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramics prepared by double calcined method and flux method were found to be better than those by conventional method. It was also possible to lower sintering temperature and reduce the amount of pyrochlore phase either by double calcined method or flux method. But with increasing sintering temperature, the difference in characteristrics due to diffrent fabrication method gradually.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of perovskite materials such as La modified $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ ceramics and $Pb(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3$ single crystals were investigated for cryogenic capacitor and actuator applications. Enhanced extrinsic contributions resulted in piezoelectric coefficient (d33) as high as 250 pC/N at 30 K, superior to that of PZT ($d_{33}$ ~ 100 pC/N). This cryogenic property enhancement was associated with retuning the MPB (or cryogenic temperatures. PZN-PT single crystals exhibited dramatic property improvements such as $d_{33}$ > 500 pC/N at 30 K as a result of an engineered domain state.

In this paper, we manufactured Pb($Ni_{1/2}$ $W_{1/2}$)$O_3$-Pb($Mn_{1/3}$$Nb_{2/3}$)$O_3$-Pb($Zr_3$Ti)$O_3$ceramics with variation of milling time and investigated its dielectric and piezoelectric properties. Density was increased with the increase of milling time because the sinterability of specimens were improved with the decrease of particle size. The highest value of electromechanical coupling factor was 0.518 at milling time 5hour. The highest values of mechanical quality factor and dielectric constant were 1566, 1590 at milling time 4hour, respectively.

The piezoelectric ceramics for a step-up piezoelectric transformer are desired large electromechanical coupling factor, high mechanical quality factor and good characteristic resonance frequency. In this study, the empirical formula of specimens is used $0.9Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3-0.1Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{1/3}Sb_{1/3})O_3$ (PZT-PMNS). The piezoelectric and dielectric characteristic are investigated by sintering temperature and value of x as functions of $Ti^{2+}$, $Zi^{2+}$ mol rate. MPB(morphotropic phase boundary) is defined in the x=0.522. Because it is appeared to the best piezoelectric and dielectric characteristic in the x=0.522, it can be application of step-up transformer.
