Abstract

Solid solution compositions of Sr2(NbxTa1−x)2O7 ceramics with Tr ranging from 450°C to 1342°C were fabricated utilizing a hot-forging technique to achieve preffered grain orientation and thus enhance poling. Translucent samples with greater than 99% theoretical density were obtained using this process. Depending on composition, the degree of orientation as determined by x-ray diffraction was found to be 75% to 95%. The thermal expansion, resistivity, and dielectric constant were shown to be very anisotropic. The direction perpendicular to the forging axis proved to be the ferroelectric “easy” direction, exhibiting hysteresis behavior. Piezoactivity in PLS polycrystals was measured for the first time. Hot-forged samples were electrically poled and the electromechanical properties determined using the five different modes of vibration. For Sr2(Nb0.5Ta0.5)2O7: N24=1504 Hz-m, s44=18.2×10-12m2/N, k24=3.0%, d24=2.6 pC/N, g24=6.3×10-3 Vm/N, and Qm=1100. This material was also shown to resist depoling when exposed to temperatures as high as 650°C.
