Hr. Rukmini et al., Sintering temperature dependent ferroelectric phase transition of Pb-0.91(La1-z/3LiZ)(0.09)(Zr0.65Ti0.35)(0.9775)O-3, J PHYS CH S, 61(11), 2000, pp. 1735-1743
Li-modified polycrystalline samples of La-modified PZT (PLZT), Pb-0.91(La1-
z/3Liz)(0.09)(Zr0.65Ti0.35)(0.9775)O-3 with z = 0.5 and 0.7 were synthesise
d through a sol-gel route. The gels were dried and calcined at different te
mperatures. The formation of a single phase compound was confirmed by X-ray
diffraction studies. The cold pressed pellets of the mixed compounds were
sintered at different temperatures. The effect of sintering on the dielectr
ic properties of the Li-modified compound has been reported here. (C) 2000
