The dielectric response of electrostrictive (1−x) PMN–xPZT ceramics

The influence of sintering conditions on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PbZrTiO–PbMgNbO ceramic tubes

“…The PZT-PMN systems are expected to synergetically combine the properties of both normal ferroelectric PZT and relaxor ferroelectric PMN, which could exhibit better dielectric and piezoelectric properties than those of single-phase PZT and PMN. Furthermore, their properties can be tailored by changing the content of PMN over a wide range to meet the requirements for specific applications [6][7][8]. Among these, 0.9PZT-0.1PMN is more desirable for actuators in some optical switches due to its excellent dielectric and piezoelectric properties.…”

Dielectric and ferroelectric properties of lead magnesium niobate–lead zirconate titanate ceramics prepared by mixed-oxide method

“…With the complementary features of PMN and PZT described in many publications, the solid solutions between PMN and PZT are expected to synergetically combine the properties of both normal ferroelectric PZT and relaxor ferroelectric PMN, which could exhibit better piezoelectric and dielectric properties than those of the single-phase PMN and PZT. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Furthermore, the properties can also be tailored over a wider range by changing the compositions to meet the strict requirements for specific applications. [9][10][11] In recent years, there have been several investigations on PMN-PZT system.…”

[9][10][11] In recent years, there have been several investigations on PMN-PZT system. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Many of these works have been on the PMNZT system, in which the starting oxide precursors were mixed together, and the ternary system of PMN-PZ-PT.…”

Effect of Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 modification on structure and ferroelectric properties of 0.6Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.4Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics

“…Both normal ferroelectric PZT and relaxor ferroelectric PMN are expected to combine the properties of which Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) O 3 À Pb(Zr 0.52 Ti 0.48 )O 3 (PMNZT) could improve piezoelectric and dielectric properties from the single system of either PZT or PMN [7][8][9]. Cubic pyrochlore phase exists in PMN ceramics prepared by conventional mixed oxide method and the columbite precursor [10,11] that exhibits low dielectric constants. For the PMNZT system in which oxides were mixed together, previous works have only focused on 0.6PMN-0.4PZT (PMNZT60/40) which is one of the materials consisting of morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) [12][13][14][15].…”
