The most commonly produced piezoelectric ceramics are lead zirconate titanate pzt barium titanate and lead titanate.
Dielectric constant pzt ceramic.
The ageing of ceramics has a logarithmic function with time.
Where p and c are the dielectric constant of polymer and ceramic phase respectively and dc is the piezoelectric charge constant of ceramic.
Pzt causes a compound to change shape from an electric field.
The relative dielectric constant of the deposited pzt film was reported to be about 500.
Popularity of pzt ceramic.
The dependence of the dielectric constant on the electric field of pzt ceramics can be well explained by the mechanism of domain wall motion.
The mobility of the domain wall is increased by the a site vacancies due to the reduction of local stress in the domains which undergo domain switching.

Sem studies reveals that the average grain size of the pzt ceramic is found to 1 55µm.
However the pzt ceramic is still the preferred piezoelectric material for various piezoelectric actuators due to its large piezoelectric constant d 33 high electromechanical couple factor k p and relative dielectric constant ε r.
The ageing rate of a piezoelectric ceramic is a measure of how certain material parameters vary as a function of time age.
Pzt lead zirconate titanate is the most commonly used piezo ceramic today.
Polycrystalline ceramic materials have several advantages over single crystal piezoelectric materials including the ease of fabrication and forming of various shapes and sizes.
The relative dielectric constant k is the ratio of the amount of charge that an element constructed from the ceramic material can store relative to the absolute dielectric constant 0 the charge that can be stored by the same electrodes when separated by a vacuum at equal voltage 0 8 85 x 10 12 farad meter.

Of the pzt ceramic confirmed their single phase perovskite with tetragonal structure.

In general piezo ceramics are the preferred choice because they are physically strong chemically inert and relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
At room temperature and frequency at 1 khz the dielectric study of the pzt ceramic gives a dielectric constant ε.
