Abstract

The growth of piezo science is phenomenal since the discovery of piezoelectricity in 1880. Among various piezoelectric materials, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is a very popular and exhaustively studied piezo system which allows synthesis of large number of materials with wide range of properties due to formation of solid solutions over
\nlarge range of Zr:Ti ratio. Also, this system accommodates wide range of dopants for modification of crystal structure. Due to this versatile nature, PZT has emerged as
\nvery popular among users and researchers worldwide. However, considering the toxicity of lead oxide, development of lead free piezo ceramics is encouraged in recent years. Some lead free piezo…
