Ordinarily fired (OF) samples were prepared by a conventional ceramic technique and the sintering temperature was varied from 1150 to 1250°C. Before the piezoelectric measurement, an enhancement of the ferroelectric properties of the SBT(x) ceramics by Bi substitution was confirmed. The values of the electromechanical coupling factor with radial-extentional mode kp for the SBT(x=0.85) ceramics sintered at 1200°C were found to be the largest (kp=10.9%) in the SBT(x) system. The piezoelectric and related constants of SBT(x=0.8) ceramics were also evaluated. The values of kp (10.6%) and k31 (6.8%) with lentgth-extentional mode were higher than those of other OF-BLSFs ceramics with large coupling coefficients, and k33 (14.0%) with lentgth-extentional mode were comparable., application/pdf}, pages = {S510--S513}, title = {Piezoelectric Properties of Strontium Bismuth Tantalate SrxBi3-xTa2O9 Dense Ceramics}, volume = {112}, year = {2004} }
