Abstract
Piezoelectric ceramics of the formula Pb(1-z)Mz(Mg1/3Nb2/3)x(ZryTi1-y)1-xO3 where M can be either Sr or Ba or both, and x is between 0.3 and 0.6, y is between 0.2 and 0.5, and z is between 0.04 and 0.08, wherein y=0.551−0.539x−0.593x2. The piezoelectric ceramic is provided as a composite perovskite structure, and may additionally include materials or dopants such as: PbO, HfO2, TeO2, WO3, V2O5, CdO, Tm2O3, Sm2O3, Ni2O3, and MnO2. The piezoelectric ceramics can be used to fabricate piezoelectric elements for a wide variety of devices that can be fabricated to exhibit high power applications including miniaturized displacement elements, buzzers, transducers, ultrasonic sensors and ultrasonic generators, and the like.
