Electrical Properties of High Curie Point Pb0.6Bi0.4 (Ti0.75Zn0.15Fe0.10)O-3 Ceramics
Perovskite-structured Pb0.6Bi0.4(Ti0.75Zn0.15Fe0.1)O-3 ceramic patches were prepared with conventional electronic ceramic processing on the basis of its near-zero thermal expansion coefficient, in contrast to most of PbTiO3-based solid solutions with decreasing tetragonality and Curie temperature. For the 1% Nb+0.5% Mg-doped samples sintered at 1050 degrees C, enhanced tetragonality of c/a=1.100 and Curie temperature of T-c=705 degrees C, dielectric constant of epsilon=204, dielectric loss of tan delta=1.7%, and piezoelectric constant of d(33)=2.0 pC/N were obtained.
