Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

In order to identify process parameters for the efficient poling of hard piezoelectrics in mass production, the effect of temperature modification during poling is investigated for a commercial hard PZT in the temperature range from 25 °C to 150 °C. While an electric field is applied, the temperature of the specimens was kept constant or the specimens were heated or cooled. The resulting piezoelectric performance was evaluated on the basis of the planar coupling factor at room temperature. An optimal poling temperature associated with maximum piezoelectric performance was found for poling with constant temperature. However, for poling while cooling, even higher performance is attained if the starting temperature is high enough. If poling becomes necessary after fabrication at high temperature, the cooling period could be exploited. The observed correlation between permittivity and the coupling factor could be exploited in quality control.
