Abstract

Abstract:

Ceramics of (0.7-x)Pb(Lu_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-0.3Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-xPbTiO₃(PLN-PMN-PT) (0.38 ≤ x ≤ 0.46) ternary system were synthesized by means of a two-step columbite precursor method which can effectively suppress the pyrochlore phase. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region in the ternary systems was found in the range of 0.40 ≤ x ≤ 0.44 and the electric properties of the compositions near MPB region were investigated. Those compositions within MPB exhibit good comprehensive piezoelectric properties. The ceramic with composition of 0.29PLN- 0.3PMN-0.41PT shows a high Curie temperature of 270℃ and a high rhombohedral-tetragonal phase transition temperature of 135℃, whose piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃, coercive field E_c and remnant polarization P_r are found to be 460 pC/N, 14.8 kV/cm and 34.6 μC/cm², respectively. The large coercive field and high T_c enable it a promising candidate for application in the piezoelectricity field.
