Abstract

Ceramics of lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate solid solution, 0.90Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.10PbTiO3 (PMN-PT), have been synthesized by a new room temperature sol-gel route, using polyethylene glycol-200 (PEG) and methanol mixture as solvent. The use of a triol molecule, 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane (THOME), which is known to serve as a complexing agent used in binding together the metal ions in the precursor solution, has been shown to give good dielectric and ferroelectric properties (εmax′=33,000 at Tmax=40°C and P r=18μC/cm2 at room temperature) for the stoichiometric PMN-PT ceramics sintered at 1050°C. A 5mol% excess of lead in the sol-gel process without THOME led to an improvement in the formation of the perovskite phase but a degradation of the dielectric properties with ε max′=10,000 and Pr=11μC/cm2 only.
