Xp. Jiang et al., Study of relaxor phase transition of Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3-PbZrO3-PbTiO3 solidsolution near morphotropic phase boundary, ACT PHY C E, 49(4), 2000, pp. 802-806
Pure perovskite phase of PZN-PZT solid solution near morphotropic phase bou
ndary (MPB) has been prepared by conventional electric ceramic engineering.
The Zr/Ti ratio of the MPB of PZN-PZT solid solution is about 37/33. The f
erroelectric-to-relaxor-paraelectric phase transition of PZN-PZT solid solu
tion near MPB has been identified when the sample is heated. In addition, t
he transition from rhombohedral to tetragonal has been found for the poled
samples with Zr/Ti ratio to be 37/33 and 39/31. It is believed that the MPB
of PZN-PZT bends toward Zr-rich region.
