Abstract

Transparent Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–(Pb1-xLax)(Zr1-yTiy)O3 (PZN–PLZT) ferroelectric ceramics have successfully been prepared by hot-pressed sintering in oxygen atmosphere. Uniform cylindrical samples with diameter as large as Φ = 50 mm can readily be obtained. X-ray analysis and scanning electron microscopy experiments showed a pure perovskite phase, thin grain boundaries, and uniform dense microstructures. Very good transparency was reached for wavelength from near ultraviolet to infrared. The dielectric constant was also measured as a function of temperature and frequency. Some novel phenomena such as good piezoelectric and electro-optical properties have been observed.
