Abstract
We present a review of papers published in the last five years devoted to the investigation of the state of impurities and their influence on piezoelectric materials based on lead zirconium titanium oxide (PZT). We have determined for the first time the characteristics of impurity charge states, their excess charge compensation and position in ceramic grains or in the intergranular space for different types of impurities and concentrations. Study of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra made it possible to suggest a sensitive nondestructive method for monitoring the boundaries of the morphotropic region of piezoceramic PZT, which is of great importance for improving the technology and lowering the cost of production for this material.
