Abstract

Abstract Presented here is a proof of concept demonstration of the templated grain growth (TGG) process for the development of [001]c fibre-textured Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) ceramics. BaTiO3 platelets (5 and 10 vol.%) were selected to seed growth of highly oriented PZT grains resulting in texture fractions as high as 94%. The TGG process in PZT was observed to be critically dependent upon the addition of excess PbO liquid phase and may be driven by BaTiO3 dissolution into the matrix. Solid solution incorporation of BaTiO3 during sintering resulted in a structural shift away from the PZT morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) and a decrease in Curie temperature (TC) by ~ 40 °C which still exceeded > 300 °C. Modification of the Zr:Ti ratio in untextured ceramic analogues was explored as a strategy to tailor dielectric, ferroelectric, and electromechanical properties. An initial PZT matrix composition of Pb(Zr0.56Ti0.44)O3 resulted in a final bulk Pb0.947Ba0.053(Zr0.531Ti0.469)O3 ceramic having MPB-like properties of d33 = 453 pC/N, tan δ = 0.017, TC = 340 °C, and Ec = 9.3 kV/cm, which was observed to be similar to commercial ‘soft’ PZT-5A1.
