Abstract

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of hot-pressed Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)0.58Ti0.42O 3 (PSNT 58/42) binary system are studied near the morphotropic phase boundary. High density ceramics (99.7% of the calculated value) are obtained by optimized regimes of calcining, hot pressing and annealing. Dielectric permittivity of the material at room temperature is 1600 rising to a maximum of 31000 at Tc=273°C. The value of electromechanical coupling factor kp=70%, kt =54% and k31=48%. The value of remanent polarization is 42 μC/cm2, coercive field 7 kV/cm. Annealing extended to 100 h increases the dielectric permittivity and electromechanical coupling while density decreases.
