| Abstract: | The reaction sequence in the formation of Pb(Zr0.6Ti0.4)O3 (PZT 60/40) was investigated as a function of PbO and ZrO2 raw material variations, using powder X-ray diffraction. Particular emphasis was placed on the final stages of reaction in the formation of PZT solid solution. Based on the present work, a more detailed reaction sequence is being proposed for Pb(Zr0.6Ti0.4)O3 and similar compositions. This reaction sequence is believed to account for many of the apparent discrepancies which have appeared in the literature. |
