Effects of additives on the ceramic and electrical properties of Pb(Y$_{1}$2/Ta$_{1}$2/)O$_3$-PbZrO$_3$-PbTiO$_3$ceramics in a perovskite type structure were investigated. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the base composition were improved markedly through selection of Fe$_2$O$_3$ additives in proper amounts. The composition Pb(Y$_{1}$2/Ta$_{1}$2/)O$_3$-PbZrO$_3$-PbTiO$_3$ obtained the dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$=1,425). Also, electromechanical couping factors for planar(k$_{p}$) and piezoelectric constant(d$_{33}$) were obtained 0.50 and 294[pC/N] at the additives 0wt% Fe$_2$O$_3$ respectively. The mechanical quality facor(Q$_{m}$) of Pb(Y$_{1}$2/Ta$_{1}$2/)O$_3$-PbZrO$_3$-PbTiO$_3$+Fe$_2$O$_3$(0.3 wt%) is about 510.510.510.

In this study, lead-free Piezoelectric $(Na_{0.47}K_{0.47}Sr_{0.03}Ca_{0.03})(Nb_{0.94}Ti_{0.06})O_3$-0.1 $MnO_2$ ceramics were fabricated using mixed oxide method and the effects of various sintering temperature on the structural and electrical properties were investigated. For the $(Na_{0.47}K_{0.47}Sr_{0.03}Ca_{0.03})(Nb_{0.94}Ti_{0.06})O_3$-0.1 $MnO_2$ (NKN-SCT-$MnO_2$) ceramics sintered at temperatures of $1,025{\sim}1,100^{\circ}C$. The results indicated that all specimens were perovskite single phase formation without any second phase. It has been shown that relative density is increased to increasing sintering temperature. When the sintered temperature at $1,075^{\circ}C$, highest sintered density and maximum value of $4.45g/cm^3$. Average grain size is increased to increasing sintering temperature. The electromechanical coupling factor, dielectric constant, dielectric loss, d33 and curie temperature at the sintering temperature $1,075^{\circ}C$ of NKN-SCT-$MnO_2$ specimens were 0.22, 511, 0.033, 103 and $380^{\circ}C$, respectively.

태양열, 바람, 지열, 진동 등의 우리주변에서 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 에너지를 모아서 필요로 하는 전자기기의 에너지원으로 사용하는 개념의 에너지하비스팅에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기계적인 변경으로 전압이 발생하는 압전체는 오래전 알려져 있었지만 발생전압이 낮아 에너지발전용으로 적용이 힘들었다. 하지만 전자기기의 소형화와 함께 필요로 하는 전력도 수 ${\mu}W$로 낮아짐으로 압전체를 이용한 에너지하비스팅이 주목 받고 있다. 전선으로 연결하여 전원을 공급하기 힘든 위치에 있는 전자기기는 주기적으로 배터리를 교환해 주어야한다. 이는 시간적, 금전적, 인적자원의 낭비이며 반영구적으로 전원을 공급할 장치개발이 필요하다. 구조물은 수~ 수십 Hz로 진동을 하며 이 진동으로 압전체에 변형을 주어 전압을 발생시킨다. 변형이 클 때 발생전압도 크게 되므로 압전체를 칸틸레버형태로 제작했다. 더 큰 전압발생을 위해 메탈을 사이에 두고 양면에 압전체를 둔 바이몰프 형태로 캔틸레버를 제작했다. 이때 진동의 충격을 완화시켜 압전체에 인가되도록 하고 구조물의 고유진동수모다 큰 진동수로 압전체가 진동하도록 하기위해 스프링을 사용하여 제작하였다. 이 스프링 지지구조 및 가진 조건에 따른 발전특성을 알아보았다.

Newly designed structure of a thin ultrasonic rotary motor was proposed. Thin brass plate was used as a cross shaped vibrator and eight ceramic plates were attached on the upper and bottom sides of the brass plate as in Figure 1. The thin type ultrasonic motor has the structure adherent piezoelectric ceramic on the top and bottom surface of the thin elastic body. The direction of polarization is decided so as to occur the elliptical displacement in regular sequence at touch point A, B, C and D of stator contacted with rotor. By applying two electric fields which have 90 degree phase difference on the ceramics, each contact points make rotational displacements as in figure 2. Finite element analysis program ATILA was used to find the optimal size of the stator. As a result of the simulation, elliptical displacements of the tips were obtained at off-resonance frequencies. The maximum displacements of the contact tips were obtained at the length of 16[mm], width of 6[mm] and thickness of 0.4[mm]. Changes of the resonance frequencies were inversely proportional to the length of ceramic and proportional to the width of ceramic. Elliptical motions of the contact tips. of the stator were consistently obtained at off resonance frequencies. From a prototype motor, speed of 600[rpm] was obtained at 20[Vrms].

Langasite is a promising new piezoelectric material for SAW filter application. Little was known until recently about the methods needed to mechanically polish and chemically polish/etch this material. In this experiment, polishing, slurry chemistry and chemical wet etching for langasite is described. Conventional quartz and LN ($LiNbO_3$) polishing methods did not produce satisfactory polished surfaces, and polishing with a colloidal silica slurries has shown to be most effective. The optimum condition was investigated by changing the slurry chemistry. As the planarization effect is very important in SAW filter applications, the examination of the effective particle number effect and the particle size effect was carried out. Z-cut langasite surface which had been polished with the colloidal silica slurries was etched in a variety of etchants. Conventional quartz etchants destroyed the polished surface. Other etchants formed a thin film on the surfaces. In this experiment, the reaction between langasite and a few etching solution was analysed. And an appropriate selective etchant solution for analyzing the defects was synthesized.

In this thesis, specimens was manufactured in general method annexing PMB-PZT system ceramic, and the following conclusion has been deduced. In XRD, the crystal structure of ceramic has the tetragonal structure which is close to rombohedral structure, and consequently the specimen characterized by MPB was manufactured. According to dopping with xPMB, electromechanical factor(kp) little is changed. kp was maximum value 23.37[%] at xPMB 0.03[mol%]. mechanical quality factor(Qm) was maximum value 237.04 at xPMB 0.03[mo1%].

Room temperature powder spray in vacuum process, so called Aerosol deposition (AD) is a room temperature (RT) process to fabricate thick and dense ceramic films, based on collision of solid ceramic particles. This technique can provide crack-free dense thin and thick films with thicknesses ranging from sub micrometer to several hundred micrometers with very fast deposition rates at RT. In addition, this technique is using solid particles to form the ceramic films at RT, thus there is few limitation of the substrate and easy to control the compositions of the films. In this article, we review the progress made in synthesis of piezoelectric thin/thick films, multi-layer structures, NTC thermistor thin/thick films, oxide electrode thin films for actuators or sensor applications by AD at Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) during the last 4 years.

We investigated the effect of Ta doping on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of lead-free $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ ceramics prepared using a conventional ceramic processing. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that Ta was perfectly substituted into Nb-sites in the range of 0 to 20 at%. As Ta content in the KNN increased, the sinterability of KNN ceramics was significantly degraded while the Ta doping enhanced the piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$, planar mode piezoelectric coupling coefficient ($k_p$), and electromechanical quality factor ($Q_m$). The highest values for $d_{33}$, $k_p$, and $Q_m$ was found to be 156 pC/N, 0.37, and 155, respectively.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering piezoelectric ceramics for LTCC (Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramic) multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMW-PMN-PZT ceramics using $0.2wt%\; Li_2CO_3$ and $0.25wt%\;CaCO_3$ as sintering aids were investigated according to the varation of PMW substution. Composition ceramics could be sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ by adding sintering aids. As the amount of PMW substitution increased, the crystal structure of PMW-PMN-PZT ceramics moved from tetragonal phase to rhombohedral phase gradually, and MPB(Morphotrophic Phase Boundary) region appeared at 2 mol% PMW substitution. At the sintering temperature of $900^{\circ}C$, the density, electromechanical coupling factor(kp), mechanical quality factor(Qm), dielectric constant(${\epsilon}r$), piezoelectric constant(d33) and Curie temperature(Tc) of 2 mol% PMW substituted PMW-PMN-PZT ceramics showed the optimal values of $7.88g/cm^3$, 0.58, 1002, 1264, 352 pC/N and $336^{\circ}C$, respectively, for LTCC multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.
