Sm and Mn co-doped PMN-PT piezoelectric ceramics: Defect engineering strategy to achieve large d33 and high Qm

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2022.08.004

Abstract

Abstract: PbTiO₃-based piezoelectric ceramics are key materials for developing various electromechanical transducers. For high-power ultrasonic transducers, piezoelectric ceramics are required to possess large piezoelectric coefficient (d₃₃) and high mechanical quality factor (Q_m). Although acceptor dopants can improve Q_m, they also deteriorate d₃₃. If suitable piezoelectricity-beneficial donor dopants can be introduced into acceptor-doped ceramics, it is very possible to obtain large d₃₃ and high Q_m simultaneously in donor and acceptor co-doped ceramics. In this work, a series of x mol% Sm and y mol% Mn co-doped Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-30PbTiO₃ (PMN-30PT: xSm, yMn) ceramics were prepared by the solid-phase sintered method. The crystal structure, local domain structure and electromechanical properties were systematically analyzed. Optimal performances were obtained in PMN-30PT: 2.5Sm, 1-2Mn ceramics with d₃₃=860-543 pC/N, Q_m=495-754, and dielectric loss tanδ=0.0055-0.0086. This high performance originates from the combined effects of (MnTi″-Vo••)× defect dipoles and the local structural heterogeneity.
