Abstract
In this paper, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Mn: 25PIN-40PMN-35PT piezoceramic samples with different steps of adding excess PbO was investigated. For this purpose, 4 samples were synthesized by two-step columbite precursor method. Structural and piezoelectric characterizations of samples were done. The results showed that the sample which additional excess PbO was added after calcination of the powder and its re-calcination, has optimal properties (Ec=20.95 kV/cm, TC=218 ℃, ε⁄ε0=1650 and d33=177 pC/N) compared to other samples. After determining the optimal step of adding excess PbO, its weight percentage was evaluated to have a composition with optimal properties. In this regard, 5 samples containing 1 to 5 Wt% excess PbO were synthesized and investigated. The comparison of the data obtained from these samples showed that the sample containing 1 wt% excess PbO has optimal properties compared to other samples. The results of optimizing the percentage of excess PbO and how to add it to the composition can also be applied to other lead-containing piezoelectric compositions.
