Abstract:
Hard-type piezoceramics are key materials in high-power transducers and transformers. Acceptor doping is the most widely used piezoelectric hardening approach, but the mobility of oxygen vacancies at large electric fields or at high temperatures inevitably leads to the deterioration of hardening performance. The present study proposes a new hardening method associated with intragranular metal particles for achieving strong pinning of ferroelectric domain walls. Highly effective piezoelectric hardening via intragranular Ag particles in Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.90Zr0.10O3 ceramic is realized, where the mechanical quality factor Q(m) and the coercive field E-c increase by 170% and 53%, respectively. The Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.90Zr0.10O3/0.10Ag sample features a larger high-power mechanical quality factor than the pure Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.90Zr0.10O3. Moreover, the piezoelectric properties (d(31) and k(31)) of the Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.90Zr0.10O3/0.10Ag sample show exceptional stability with the increase in vibration velocity. This composite approach of introducing metal particles can be considered as a generic hardening method and can be extended to other ferroelectric systems.
