Abstract

See full text

A textured PMN-PZT ceramic is created using templated grain growth to align seed crystals in a ceramic matrix powder by tape-casting process. Heat treatment then results in the nucleation and growth of matrix crystals on aligned templates. The resulting textured PMN-PZT ceramic has high longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient and a high piezoelectric voltage coefficient. In another embodiment, a textured PMN-PT ceramic has a volume fraction of the templates no greater than 1%. The utility of this invention includes both its exceptional piezoelectric properties as well as the utilization of an economical manufacturing process that is widely used in the multi-layer ceramic capacitor industry.
