Abstract

The longitudinal piezoelectric effect induced by a direct current bias field was investigated in PMN:PT family of relaxor ferroelectric ceramics in the frequency range from 0. 1 Hz to 50 kHz. The piezoelectric d33 coefficient was studied by measuring the strain induced by the applied electric field. Under the 10 kHz driving field, the large piezoelectric strain coefficient, d33, of 800 pC/N is obtained. The piezoelectric strain coefficient related dielectric and electrostrictive parameters were also studied under direct current bias and the d33 coefficient was calculated by the equation d33=2Q11P3ε33. The results are in good agreement with the directly measured ones. The dispersion of the piezoelectric effect is mainly due to the dielectric dispersion.
