Abstract
In order to describe the characteristics of piezoelectric bimorph,properties of lead zirconate titanate (LZT) film are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning eletron microscope (SEM).The ratio of PbTiO_3/PbZrO_3 in LZT is 53/47,which is around morpbotropic phase boundary (MPB).LZT film is composed of cubic particles with the average size of 5μm.Density of thin film is figured out through the datum measured in experiments.The displacement model used to analyze the driving ability of bimorph is set up,and the effect of elastic intermediate layer is taken into account. Piezoelectric coefficient of LZT film is worked out by using the displacement model.Experiments of driving ability show that deformation of bimorph free end does not increase with times of crystal growth processes and the maximum deformation is obtained after two times crystal growth processes. Finally,the ferroelectric property of the bimorph is investigated and coercive voltage of the bimorph is obtained.
