This investigation highlights the influence of isovalent Sr and acceptor Mn modified PLZT near morphotrophic phase boundary
for phase formation, microstructure, density, dielectric and piezoelectric properties. [Pb0.9896-yLa0.0104Sry][Zr0.529Ti0.471]0.9949Mn0.005O3 (PLSZMT) where y = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1 mol.%, polycrystalline solid solutions were synthesized by solid
state reaction method. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that undoped composition had shown coexistence of both rhombohedral
and tetragonal phases while increasing Sr content resulted in phase shift to tetragonal phase. Grain size and
apparent density enhanced with the increasing Sr content up to y = 1 mol.%. The optimum εRT, d₃₃ and kp were observed at
y = 1 mol.%, respectively which could be suitable for piezoelectric applications. |
