Abstract

The study of the interrelation between composition, structure and physical and chemical properties of a material with respect to possible control of its characteristics is one of the most important problems of physics and chemistry of the solid state. And this is completely the case with the TFC: we have analyzed in Part I the different requirements of production and given recommendations to follow in the search for new compositions. Up to the present time the lanthanum doped lead zirconate-titanate (PLZT) system has been most studied for science and applications [1]. As a rule, transparent ceramics are produced from chemically coprecipitated raw material by two-stage hot pressing techniques (in vacuo with a following treatment in oxygen or air) - see, e.g., [2]. There are, of course, a lot of different technological variations. The strong defect structure of PLZT (vacancies in sublattices A and B of the perovskite structure at concentrations of 1021cm-3, oxygen vacancies, possible implantation of La ions in sublattice B) suggest the existence of local dipoles at temperatures much higher (by 100 degrees and more) than the temperature T c of the maximum value of dielectric constant, and make the phase transition in ceramics strongly diffused [3,4]. Consequently, the PLZT ceramics along with the “classical” compound of lead magnesium-niobate (PMN) are becoming a model for studies of diffusion of the phase transition.
