Abstract

Lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) electro-optic ceramics are used in a wide range of applications in electronic devices. In this work, Pb0.92La0.08(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramic compositions with excellent electro-optic properties are successfully prepared by varying the sintering pressure of SPS, and the relationship among pressure-microstructure-properties is analyzed. The Rietveld refinement results show that the variation of lattice parameters due to the sintering pressure of the SPS is the main reason for the difference in properties. XPS and Raman spectroscopy analysis shows that the high sintering pressure inhibits the substitution of La ions for Pb ions, leading to lattice deformation. The experimental results show that the PLZT ceramics prepared by the SPS method at a sintering pressure of 30 MPa show the highest remnant polarization Pr = 70.763 μC/cm2 and the coercive field Ec = 20.034 kV/cm, and the photoluminescence performance exhibits the maximum intensity. The sintering pressure of SPS provides a new idea to enhance the performance of PLZT ceramics by inducing lattice deformation to enhance the performance.
