Investigations on the Doping Effects on the Properties of Piezoelectric Ceramics

In the present paper (1-x)Pb (Zr 1-y Ti y )O 3 – xPb (Mn 1/3 Sb 2/3 )O 3 – z at%E system, with E = Pr 3+ , Nd 5+ and Gd 3+ where x = 0.12; y = 0.48; z = 0 and 0.02 ceramic synthesized by solid state reaction technique is analysed. The investigation aims studying of the effect of dopants on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of such piezoelectric ceramic. The prepared powders have been uniaxially pressed into discs with diameter of 10 –...
