Ceramic–electrode interaction in PZT and PNN–PZT multilayer piezoelectric ceramics with AG/PD 70/30 inner electrode
Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3(PZT) and PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3-PZT (PNN–PZT) multilayers with Ag/Pd 70/30 inner electrodes have been studied from the point of view of the ceramic–electrode interaction. PZT multilayers have shown ...

Processing and microstructure of porous and dense PZT thick films on Al2O3
The processing of porous PZT thick-film ceramics on Al2O3 has been studied. The films were screen-printed from a thixotropic ink of PZT with a 58% solids content. The thick films were sintered between 1000 and 11...
