STUDY ON PHASE TRANSITION BEHAVIOR OF ELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF Pb1-xLaxZrTiO3 (x = 0, 0.5) CERAMICS.

Abstract

Pb1-xLaxZrTiO3 (x = 0, 0.5) (PLZT) powders are synthesized using a dry route involving solid state thermo-chemical reaction in a mixture of PbCO3, La2O3, ZrO2 and TiO2. The powders are calcined at temperature for 750 Degree Celsius six hours and are compacted to pellets using hydraulic press. The samples are then sintered at temperature for 1150 Degree Celsius 3 hours to achieve above 96% of theoretical density.
