ABSTRACT Lead zirconatetitanate solid solutions, Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 – PZT, are widely recognized for representing a special group of ferroelectric materials with various potential applications in electroceramics and (micro)electronic devices. The PZT ceramics is produced by solid state reaction (conventional route) and temperatures frequently above 1200 °C. As a consequence, the cost of ceramic product is expensive. Herein, we present the synthesis and processing conditions of PZT52/48 (x = 0.48) ceramics in which it was possible to lower the sintering temperature down to around 900°C. We have applied a route for PZT52/48 obtaining ferroelectric ceramics through sintering of nanometric powders prepared by the polymeric precursor synthesis method (modified Pechini’s method). The sintering was achieved with a temperature of 900ºC for 2 hours and the samples got 96% of their theoretical density and 1.3 mm mean grain size. The electrical permittivity of the ceramic plates, studied by impedance spectroscopy, presented Curie temperature around 390 ºC. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements revealed that the remnant polarization is 3.2 μC/cm2 and coercive field is 10 kV/cm at 60 Hz. All results and characterizations have shown that the PZT samples obtained with the polymeric route are efficient as the ones prepared in the conventional SSR protocol.

Electrorheology (ER) of ferroelectric materials such as nanometric BaTiO 3 is still not fully understood. In this paper, nanoparticles of Ba x Sr (1-x) TiO 3 (where x = 0.8, 0.9 or 1.0) were synthesized using the method of Pechini, calcinated at 950°C, and after, lixiviated under pH 1 or pH 5. A controlled stress rheometer (MCR-301) was used to make the ER characterization of dispersions made of Ba x Ti 1-x O 3 in silicone oil (30% w/w), where (a) shear stress as a function of DC electric field (under constant shear rate) or (b) shear stress as a function of shear rate (under constant AC or DC electric field) were measured. We observed that electrophoresis occurred under electric field DC, creating a concentration gradient which induced phase separation in ER fluid. On the other hand, under AC fields above 1 kV/mm, the ER effect is stronger than for DC field, and almost without electrophoresis. Furthermore, there is an AC frequency, dependent on the disperse phase, where the ER effect has a maximum.

AbstractIn this study, the use of a fiber optic technique for the measurement of the piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric bulk and thin film samples was investigated. The strain and piezoelectric properties (namely the d33 coefficients) were measured using the MTI-2000 Fotonic Sensor, which uses the principle of the optical lever to resolve very small changes in sample displacement (1 Å). Using this technique, we were able to detect the very small strains associated with the converse piezoelectric effect for PVDF films and bulk PZT samples, and correlate the results with data acquired from direct piezoelectric effect measurement. Comparison of the data sets prove that the optical lever would be a useful optical technique for measuring of the d33 values of ceramic thin films, such as BaTiO3, ZnO, and PZT.
