Tetragonal phase PZT ceramics with a tetragonality of c/a=1.027 to 1.041 were sintered at 1275$^{\circ}C$ for one hour. And the directionality of domain arrangement, microstructure, dielectric and aging properties were investigated. With increasing tetragonality, the directionality of domain arrangement of 180$^{\circ}$-domain on the surface is smaller than that in the internal part of specimens. Dielectric constants after poling are increased due to the increased internal energy or decreased due to the microcracks created by poling.

BaTiO₃ powder was synthesized by a solid-state reaction using BaCO₃ and TiO₂. Different calcination temperatures (800℃, 850℃, 900℃, and 950℃) were set to investigate their effects on the properties of BaTiO₃ powder. The synthesized BaTiO₃ phase was confirmed to be a single phase by XRD, and the tetragonality (c/a) and crystallite size were calculated. Thereafter, each calcinated BaTiO₃ was sintered at five different sintering temperatures (1,100℃, 1,150℃, 1,200℃, 1,250℃, and 1,300℃), and the tetragonality, density, porosity, dielectric constant, and grain size were measured. As the calcination temperature increased, the tetragonality and crystallite size also increased, to 1.008 and 66 nm, respectively, at 950℃. Moreover, most pellets showed increased density, dielectric constant, and tetragonality as the sintering temperature increased up to 1,250℃; the same parameters slightly decreased at 1,300℃. It is noteworthy that the tetragonality of BaTiO₃ at 1,250℃ exhibits a very high c/a value of 1.0084. In addition, the grain size and dielectric constant measured near the Curie temperature increased as the sintering temperature increased.

In order to evaluate the properties of the sintered zirconia for optical ferrule, specimens were prepared at 1350, 1400 and $1450^{\circ}C$ using starting materials supplied by A, B and C providers. Crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical strength were tested as a function of sintering temperature. Crystallinity of the sintered specimens was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A field emission-scanning electron microscope was used for studying the microstructure after sintering. Bending strength and Vickers' hardness were also examined by universial tester and Vickers' hardness tester, respectively. The specimen B sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was favorable because of its high tetragonality and good mechanical strength for practical usage.

La-modified $PbTiO_{3}$(PLT) thin plates were prepared for the fabrication of PLT pyroelectric IR sensors. The effects of the preparation parameters such as tile sintering temperature, the La content, and the ambient powder quantity, on the microstructural and dielectric properties of PLT thin plates were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and measurements of relative density and dielectric properties. With an increased La content, the tetragonality c/a was decreased but the densification and the grain size were increased, which is considered to be due to the increased Pb vacancy concentration to maintain charge neutrality at the increased of La content. When the quantity of the ambient powder wvas increased, the tetragonality was slightly increased, which is believed io be due to the reduced evaporation of PbO. But the e(fect is insignificant compared to that of La content. The dielectric constant at room temperature was increased and the Curie temperature was decreased in accordance with the decreased tetragonality ratio c/a with the increase of La content. The dielectric constant and tan ${\delta}$ of $500{\mu}m$ thick PLT thin plate with 10 wt% excess PbO and 10 mol% La contant sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in ambient powder of $0.02\;g/cm^{3}$ were 360 and 0.02, respectively.

In this study, the structural, electrical and dielectric properties were investigated in (P $b_{0.76}$ $Ca_{0.24}$)[( $Co_{1}$2/ $W_{1}$2/)$_{0.04}$ $Ti_{0.96}$) $O_{3}$ system ceramics which were manufactured with the addition of Mn $O_{2}$. According to the increment of Mn $O_{2}$ addition, tetragonality was decreased. The specimen added with 1.5 mol% Mn $O_{2}$ and sintered at 1150.deg. C showed the highest density of 7.06[g/c $m^{3}$]. The variations of grain xize as a function of Mn $O_{2}$ addition were negligibly small. But grain was grown until 7.88[.mu.m] with increasing sintering temperature. Electromechamical coupling factor planar mode $K_{p}$ was decreased to a small value of $K_{p}$ = 0 in all the specimens added with Mn $O_{2}$ and sintered at 1150.deg. C & 1200.deg. C.& 1200.deg.

Nanocrystalline $BaTiO_3$ powder could be synthesized by solid-state reaction using the mixture which was prepared by a high energy milling process in a bead mill for $BaCO_3$ and nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ powders mixture. Effect of the milling time on the powder characteristic of the synthesized $BaTiO_3$ powder was investigated. Nanocrystalline $BaTiO_3$ with a particle size of 50 nm was obtained at $800^{\circ}C$. High tetragonal $BaTiO_3$ powder with a tetragonality(=c/a) of 1.009 and a specific surface area of $7.6m^2/g$ was acquired after heat-treatment at $950^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. High energy ball milling was effective in decreasing the reaction temperature and increasing the tetragonality.

Microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO-doped (0-5 mol%) 0.05 Pb(Mn1/3Sb2/3)O3-0.95 PZT ceramics were investigated. Sintering temperature was decreased to 100$0^{\circ}C$ due to eutetic reaction between PbO and ZnO. Grain-size increased up to adding 1mol% ZnO and then decreased. Compositions of grain and grain-boundary were investigated by WDS. Lattice parameter was decreased with ZnO addition. Density increased with ZnO addition and reached to the maximum of 7.84(g/cm2) at 2 mol% ZnO. The effect of ZnO on electrical properties of PMS-PZT was investigated. At 3mol% ZnO addition electromechanical coupling factor(kp) was about 50% and relative dielectric constant($\varepsilon$33/$\varepsilon$0) was 997 Mechanical quality factor(Qm) decreased with ZnO addition. Lattice parameters and tetragonality(c/a) were measured to investigate relationship between the electric properties and substitution of Zn2+. At 3 mol% ZnO tetragonality was maximiged at c/a=1.0035 Curie temperature (Tc) decreased slightly with ZnO addition.

In this study, to prepare the dielectric (Ba, Sr)TiO3 thin films by the sol-gel process, Titaminum (IV) sio-propoxide (Ti[OCH(CH3)2]4), Ba and Sr acetate were used for sol and thin films were prepared by dip-coating process. Stability of sol decreased with the increase of Sr, and thickness of thin films were obtained 0.13~0.17${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by 1 coating cycle. Transmittance of amorphous thin films heated at 500 and 55$0^{\circ}C$ was very good, and crystallization tendency of thin films according to heat-treatment temperature and crystallization characteristics of thin films heated at 11$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs were analysed. As a result, good perovskite structure was obtained higher than 100$0^{\circ}C$, and tetragonality of thin film was decreased but pyrochlore was formed with increasing Sr. In case of addition to substitute 0.4mol% Sr for Ba, dielectric constant was 288 and loss factor (tan $\delta$) was 0.04.

A remarkable improvement of the productivity in barium titanate by slurry spray pyrolysis process was realized by supplying solid source slurry into the rector. The produced barium titanate powders showed uniform powder properties, and reproducibility with higher tetragonality in the range of 80$\sim$200 nm, case by case. The secondary calcination experiments of the as-prepared powders by spray pyrolysis revealed that the powders as-prepared over 700$^{\circ}C$ showed perfectly different behavior with the lower temperature's ones and the solid state reaction’s case. The result was discussed in terms of the reaction mechanism based on the activation energy analysis.

This paper was to measure the structure, piezoelectric properties of 0.05Pb($A1_{0.5}$$Nb_{0.5}$)-0.95Pb($Zr_{0.52}$$Ti_{0.48}$)$O_3$ ceramics dopped with additive after creating the specimens with a general method. It is shown that X-ray diffraction pattern variation of lines (200) have tendency to move in simple peak by addition of additive. According to the increase of $Cr_2$$O_3$, tetragonality hardly have variation, according to the increase of $Fe_2$$O_3$, tetragonality decreased on the whole. According to dopping with $Cr_2$$O_3$ and $Fe_2$$O_3$, electromechanical factor(kp) largely increased, in case of sintering at $1200^{\circ}C$ kp was maximum value of 40.04[%] at $Cr_2$$O_3$ 0.3wt%, and maximum value of kp 42.9 [%] at $Fe_2$$O_3$, 0.9wt%. In case of sintering at 120$0^{\circ}C$, mechanical duality factor(Qm) was maximum value of Qm 268.8 at $Cr_2$$O_3$, 0.9 wt%.
