| Abstract: | La-doped 0.3Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.7Pb(Zr x Ti1− x )O3 ( x =0.5–0.53) piezoelectric ceramics with pure perovskite phase were synthesized by a two-step hot-pressing route. The piezoelectric properties of various compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) were systematically investigated. Not only was the exact MPB of this system determined via X-ray diffractometry analysis, but also the peak of piezoelectric properties was found near the MPB. The optimum piezoelectric properties of this series were observed in the specimen with Zr/Ti=51/49. The piezoelectric coefficient ( d 33) and electromechanical coupling factor ( k p) were 845 pC/N and 0.70, respectively, which have not been reported in this system so far. Large permittivity (ɛr=4088) and permittivity maximum (ɛm=29 500) were also obtained for the poled specimens. The temperatures ( T max) of the permittivity maxima ranged from 206° to 213°C with various Zr/Ti ratios. |
