Bismuth-based Piezoelectric Ceramics

  • Chapter
Piezoelectric and Acoustic Materials for Transducer Applications

Important ferroelectric or antiferroelectric oxide ceramics for dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, electrostrictive, and/or pyroelectric applications are restricted to perovskite-type, tungsten bronze-type, and bismuth layer-structured compounds. A recent trend in the study on piezoelectric and/or pyroelectric ceramic compounds is the use of lead-free materials. The other trend is the use of grain orientation techniques as the ceramic fabrication methods.

Recently, bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics (BLSF), which form one of BO6 octahedral ferroelectric groups, have been extensively studied in the form of thin films because they seem to be an excellent candidate for nonvolatile FeRAM applications. For example, SrBi2Ta2O9 shows fatigue-free properties, which are very desirable in such applications.
