Abstract

(1 - x)Pb(Hf <sub>1-y</sub>Ti <sub>y</sub>)O <sub>3</sub>-x Pb(Mg <sub>1/3</sub>Nb <sub>2/3</sub>)O <sub>3</sub> (x = 0.1 ∼ 0.25, y = 0.555) ternary piezoelectric ceramics were prepared using the two-step precursor method. Morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) compositions, located at x = 0.18 ∼ 0.22, were confirmed using X-ray diffraction and by their dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. The optimum dielectric and piezoelectric properties were achieved for the MPB composition 0.8Pb(Hf <sub>0.445</sub>Ti <sub>0.555</sub>)O <sub>3</sub>-0.2Pb(Mg <sub>1/3</sub>Nb <sub>2/3</sub>)O <sub>3</sub>, with dielectric permittivity ε <sub>r</sub>, piezoelectric coefficient d <sub>33</sub>, planar electromechanical coupling k <sub>p</sub> and Curie temperature T <sub>C</sub> being on the order of 2800, 680 pC/N, 70% and 276 °C, respectively. Of particular significance is that the new ternary ceramics exhibit comparable piezoelectric and electromechanical properties to commercial PZT5H ceramics, but with much improved T <sub>C</sub>, showing a potential for applications at elevated temperature. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
