Abstract:To improve the large strain of piezoelectric ceramics used for the laser frequency stabilizer in laser gyro,the composition of piezoelectric ceramics was designed and synthesized by the conventional solidstate reaction method.The excellent piezoelectric and dielectric properties were obtained at r(Zr)/r(Ti)=46/54 sintered at 1 180 ℃ for 3 h:d33≈640 pC/N,cE11=60.61 GPa,εT33/ε0≈3 300,tan δ≈1.85%,kp=0.655,TC=272 ℃.XRD analysis indicated that the morphotropic phase boundary composition was r(Zr)/r(Ti)=46/54.SEM showed that the sintering temperature had significantly influence for the ceramic grain size with rapid increase of grain size at 1 180~1 200 ℃.
