Abstract

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of lead magnesium niobate, Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (PMN), and the solid solution systems with lead titanate, PMN-PT, are of importance for investigating the viability of these relaxor ferroelectric materials for ultrasound transducer applications. This paper summarizes a recent study of the effects of synthesis and processing on the dielectric and electromechanical properties of these materials
