Microstructural and physical origins of elastic and electromechanical losses and dispersion in dense and porous piezoceramics
摘要
This paper presents a comparative study of the microstructural characteristics and complex elastic and electromechanical properties of ferroelectrically “hard” dense and porous PZT piezoceramics of identical composition. Using a previously developed method for analyzing piezoresonance spectra of fundamental and higher order thickness mode resonances in piezoceramic disks, we measured the real and imaginary parts of the complex material constants and their frequency dependencies. The study reveals regions of anomalous elastic and electromechanical dispersion in porous piezoceramics within the frequency range of 1–20 MHz, manifested as distinct features in the frequency dependencies of the real and imaginary parts of the complex constants. Within this frequency range, the real part of the elastic modulus
