Abstract
The compositions of lead lanthanum zirconate titanate PLZT PbZr057Ti043O3 + x at of La where x = 3 5 6 10 and 12 have been synthesized using mixed oxide route The temperature dependent electromechanical parameters have been determined using vector impedance spectroscopy VIS The charge constant d 31 and elastic compliance s 11 E show a peak in all the samples at a temperature T mt much below the ferroelectric — paraelectric transition temperature whereas the series resonance frequency f s shows a dip at these temperatures The Poisson’s ratio σ E increases with temperature T showing a broad peak at a temperature higher than T mt The voltage constant g 31 decreases and the planar coupling coefficient K p remains constant up to half of the T mt and then falls sharply with T Half of the T mt can therefore be used for specifying the working temperature limit of the piezoceramics for the device applications
