In this paper, the results of experimental study of dispersion characteristics of complex electromechanical parameters of ferroelectrically “hard” porous piezoceramics based on PZT composition were presented. Experimental samples of porous piezoceramics were fabricated using a modified method of burning-out a pore former. The complex constants of porous piezoceramics with relative porosity 16% and their frequency dependences were measured using the piezoelectric resonance analysis method. As a result of experimental studies, regions of elastic, piezoelectric and electromechanical dispersion, characterized by anomalies in the frequency dependences of the imaginary and real parts of the complex constants of porous piezoelectric ceramics were found. It was revealed also that the microstructural features of porous piezoceramics determine the character of frequency dependences of complex electromechanical parameters of porous piezoelectric ceramics. In conclusion, the microstructural and physical mechanisms of electromechanical losses and dispersion in porous piezoceramics were discussed.In this paper, the results of experimental study of dispersion characteristics of complex electromechanical parameters of ferroelectrically “hard” porous piezoceramics based on PZT composition were presented.

In this paper, a comprehensive study of microstructure/properties interrelations for porous piezoceramics based on PZT composition was performed. Experimental samples of porous piezoceramics were fabricated using a modified method of burning-out a pore former. Porosity dependencies of elastic, dielectric, piezoelectric and electromechanical coefficients of the porous ceramics in the relative porosity range 0-50% were obtained and analyzed. As a result of microstructure analysis, it was found that at any connectivity type (3–0, 3–3) and porosity up to 50% the real structures of porous piezoceramics were close to the matrix medium structure with continuous piezoceramic skeleton. It was also revealed that the microstructural features of porous piezoceramics define the character of the dependences of the dielectric, piezoelectric and electromechanical properties of porous piezoelectric ceramics on porosity. In conclusion, microstructure/properties interrelations, as well as new applications of porous piezoceramics were discussed.In this paper, a comprehensive study of microstructure/properties interrelations for porous piezoceramics based on PZT composition was performed.

Nanocrystalline films, grown at the repetition frequency of 10 Hz, possess a continuous granular structure with a grain diameter of 235 ± 11.75 nm. Achieved results can be used for the development of promising “green” energy devices based on lead-free piezoelectric energy harvesters.This paper reports the impact of the laser pulse repetition frequency on growth processes, morphological and electro-physical parameters of nanocrystalline LiNbO

The Zr/Ti ratio in the PZN–PZT ceramics greatly affects the electrical properties. The Zr/Ti ratio affects the proportion between the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases and also affects the grain size.
