Presentation Transcript

  1. Ferroelectric Lead Titanate (PbTiO3 or PT) • Ferroelectric with similar structure to BaTiO3 • Phase transition from Paraelectric Cubic to Ferroelectric Tetragonal phases • High Curie Point (~ 490 C) • Suitable for high-frequency and high-temperature applications, as a result of high Curie Point, low dielectric constant (er ~ 200), and large electromechanical anisotropy (kt/kp > 10) • An important end member of widely used PZT (xPbTiO3-(1-x)PbZrO3) • Difficult to obtain a dense sintered body due to large volume change upon cooling ( as a result of large c/a = 1.063 (strain > 6%)) • Modified compositions with various dopant ( alkaline or rare earth elements, such as Ca, Sr, and Ba, and other dopants such as Sn, W, Bi, and Y to obtain a crack free ceramic and to improve properties Lattice constants versus temperature for PbTiO3

  2. (Ferroelectric?) Lead Zirconate (PbZrO3 or PZ) Lattice constants versus temperature (in pseudo-tetragonal) for PbZrO3 Dielectric constant versus temperature for PbZrO3 ceramic  Above 230 C, the structure is cubic-perovskite (similar to BaTiO3)   Dielectric constant shows “anomaly” at 230 C (reaches high peak)   Above 230 C, dielectric constant follows Curie-Weiss relation  Ferroelectric Material ?  No ferroelectric hysteresis below “transition temperature” 230 C   Volume contraction upon cooling (c/a < 1)   Orthorhombic Structure  Anti-Ferroelectric Material 

  3. Antiferroelectricity

  4. Antiferroelectricity Anti-ferroelectric materials Non-polar, Non-ferroelectric materials that revert to a ferroelectric state when subjected to sufficiently high electric field, causing a “double-loop hysteresis”

  5. Lead Zirconate Titanate (Pb (Zrx Ti1-x)O3 or PZT) System • PZT (xPbZrO3 – (1-x)PbTiO3) •  •  Binary Solid Solution  • PbZrO3 (antiferroelectric matrial with orthorhombic structure) • and • PbTiO3 (ferroelectric material with tetragonal perovskite structure) •  • Perovskite Structure (ABO3) with Ti4+ and Zr4+ ions “randomly” occupying the B-sites •  • Important Transducer Material (Replacing BaTiO3) • Higher electromechanical coupling coefficient than BaTiO3 • Higher Tc results in higher operating and fabricating temperatures • Easily poled • Wider range of dielectric constants • relatively easy to sinter at lower temperature than BaTiO3 • form solid-solution compositions with several additives which results in a wide range of tailored properties

  8. Lead Zirconate Titanate (Pb (Zrx Ti1-x)O3 or PZT) System Abrupt changes in lattice constants at room temperature for PZT system lead to anomalous behaviors in dielectric and piezoelectric properties Variation of polarization with PZ contents indicates that the highest polarization is in the rhombohedral structure that does not have highest er and d

  9. Lead Zirconate Titanate (Pb (Zrx Ti1-x)O3 or PZT) System Composition dependence of dielectric constant (K) and electromechanical planar coupling coefficient (kp) in PZT system  This shows enhanced dielectric and electromechanical properties at the MPB  Increased interest in PZT materials with MPB-compositions for applications

  10. Lead Zirconate Titanate (Pb (Zrx Ti1-x)O3 or PZT) System Electromechanical coupling coefficients Piezoelectric d constants Variation of room temperature piezoelectric properties with PZT compositions Note: highest values on tetragonal side of the composition

  12. Lead Zirconate Titanate (Pb (Zrx Ti1-x)O3 or PZT) System Possible domain states Value of the mixed phase region at the MPB in poling of PZT vs other perovskite ferroelectrics

  13. Lead Zirconate Titanate (Pb (Zrx Ti1-x)O3 or PZT) System • Advantages of PZT Solid-Solution System • Above Curie Point (or Curie Temperature), the symmetry is cubic with perovskite structure • High Tc across the diagram leads to more stable ferroelectric states over wide temperature ranges • There is a two-phase region near the Morphotropic Phase Boundary (MPB) (52/48 Zr/Ti composition) separating rhombohedral (with 8 domain states) and tetragonal (with 6 domain states) phases • In the two-phase region, the poling may draw upon 14 orientation states leading to exceptional polability • Near vertical MPB results in property enhancement over wider temperature range for chosen compositions near the MPB

  14. Compositions and Modifications of PZT System 1. Effects of composition and grain size on properties MPB compositions (Zr/Ti = 52/48)  Maximum dielectric and piezoelectric properties  Selection of Zr/Ti can be used to tailor specific properties  High kp and er are desired  Near MPB compositions OR High Qm and low er are desired  Compositions away from MPB Grain Size (composition and processing)  Fine-Grain ~ 1 mm or less Coase-Grain ~ 6-7 mm  Some oxides are grain growth inhibitor (i.e. Fe2O3)  Some oxides are grain growth promoter (i.e. CeO2)  Dielectric and piezoelectric properties are grain-size dependent

  15. Compositions and Modifications of PZT System Dependence of dielectric and piezoelectric properties on average grain size in the ceramic Pb(Zr0.51Ti0.49)O3 + 0.1 wt% MnO2 at a constant density of 7.70-7.85 g/cm3  Piezoelectric properties increase linearly with increasing grain size

  16. Compositions and Modifications of PZT System 2. Modification by element substitution • Element substitution cations in perovskite lattice (Pb2+, Ti4+, and Zr4+) are replaced partially by other cations with the same chemical valence and similar ionic radii and solid solution is formed • Pb2+ substituted by alkali-earth metals, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+   PZT replaced partially by Ca2+or Sr2+ Tc  BUT kp, e33 , and d31   • Shift of MPB towards the Zr-rich side  • Density  due to fluxing effect of Ca or Sr ions  • Ti4+ and Zr4+ substituted by Sn4+ and Hf4+ , respectively   Ti4+ replaced partially by Sn4+ c/a ratio decreases with increasing Sn4+ content   Tc  and  stability of kp and e33 

  17. Compositions and Modifications of PZT System • 3. Influences of low level “off-valent” additives (0-5 mol%) on dielectric and piezoelectric properties • Two main groups of additives: • 1. electron acceptors (charge on the replacing cation is smaller) • (A-Site:K+, Rb+ ; B-Site: Co3+, Fe3+, Sc3+, Ga3+, Cr3+, Mn3+, Mn2+, Mg2+, Cu2+) • (Oxygen Vacancies) • Reduce both dielectric and piezoelectric responses • Increase highly asymmetric hysteresis and larger coercivity • Much larger mechanical Q • “Hard PZT” • 2. electron donors (charge on the replacing cation is larger) • (A-Site: La3+, Bi3+, Nd3+; B-Site: Nb5+, Ta5+, Sb5+) • (A-Site Vacancies) • Enhance both dielectric and piezoelectric responses at room temp • Under high field, symmetric unbiased square hysteresis loops • low electrical coercivity • “Soft PZT”
