Abstract
1 mol% Nb-doped Pb[(Sc1/2Nb1/2)0.58Ti0.42]O3 (PSNTN) ceramics with the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition were prepared by the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) method to improve their physical and ferroelectric properties. Sintering, hot isostatic pressing, and annealing conditions were optimized to produce high-density PSNTN ceramics and utilize their excellent dielectric and piezoelectric properties. Using hot isostatic pressing after conventional sintering at 1275° C for 2 h, the achieved density of PSNTN hot-isostatically pressed at 1000° C was 8.00 g/cm3, which was approximately 99.5% of the theoretical value. The maximum dielectric constant of ε T33/ε0 was 2900 at room temperature, and its dissipation factor was 1.5%. Large electromechanical coupling factors of k p=70% and k t=55% were obtained. The remanent polarization P r and coercive field E c were 27 µ C/cm2 and 6.9 kV/cm, respectively. The PSNTN ceramic is a promising material for applications to electromechanical bulk transducers, because of its large coupling, high dielectric constant and low mechanical quality factor.
