Abstract
The piezoelectric behavior of materials from the (1-x)Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O3 -(x)PbTiO3 solid solution system has been investigated. The [x=0.45] c omposition in particular has exhibited an outstanding piezoelectric re sponse [d33=650 (pC/N), k(t)=0.5, k(p)=0.61, k33=0.73] and a low mecha nical quality factor [Q(M)=30]. These features make it a promising can didate for a variety of piezoelectric sensor applications. The difficu lties involved in effectively poling a bar sample and a means to avoid these problems are also addressed.
