The piezoelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate [Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 or PZT] ceramics could be enhanced by fabricating textured that would align the crystal grains along specific orientations. We present a seed-passivated texturing process to fabricate PZT using newly developed Ba(Zr,Ti)O3 microplatelet templates. This not only ensures template-induced grain growth in titanium-rich layers but also facilitates desired composition through interlayer diffusion zirconium and titanium....

Abstract The figure-of-merits of ferroelectrics for transducer applications are their electromechanical coupling factor and the operable temperature range. Relaxor-PbTiO 3 ferroelectric crystals show a much improved k 33 (88~93%) compared to ceramic counterparts (65~78%) by taking advantage strong anisotropy crystals. However, only few relaxor-PbTiO systems, example Pb(In 1/2 Nb )O -Pb(Mg 1/3 2/3 -PbTiO , can be grown into single crystals, whose range is limited rhombohedral-tetragonal phase...
