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

Ba-doped PMN-0.35PT (PMN-0.35PT-xBa) (x = 0 – 0.05) relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were prepared with a two-step columbite precursor method. The effect of using Ba2+ to modify the structure and electrical properties of PMN-0.35PT-xBa ceramics near the morphotropic phase boundary was investigated. The introduction of Ba dopant significantly improved the densification of the ceramics and the growth of the grain, but also profoundly modified the phase structure. The study demonstrated that the substitution of Ba main doping for A-site in the PMN-0.35PT lattice could affect electrical properties of PMN-0.35PT binary ceramics. Increasing the dosage of Ba led to enhancement of the ferroelectric response and remarkably increased the electrostrictive response. Results in this study indicated that at a composition x of 3.0 mol%, a large strain response could be obtained with maximum strain as high as 0.13 % under the low field of 15 kV/cm at room temperature. The maximum piezoelectric performance is found at x = 0.05 (d33 = 508pC/N).
