Abstract
Potassium-modified PLZT [Pb-0.92(La-1-(z)0.08)(Zr0.60Ti0.40)(0.98+0.04z)O-3 (z = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7)] ceramics were synthesised using sol-gel tec hnique. Preliminary structural and microstructural parameters were determin ed using XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. Detailed studies of dielectric proper ties at 10 kHz in a wide temperature range suggest that the compounds have diffuse phase transition of second order. Studies of spontaneous polarisati on, pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties yielded data for devices. (C) 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
