Abstract

In this paper, the grain boundary movement during grain growth and the effects of grain boundaries on the optical and electro-optical properties of the PLZT ceramics will be presented with emphases on the following aspects:
  1. 1.

    Method of preparation of grain-grown specimens.

     
  2. 2.

    Quantitative stereology of PLZT ceramics with different grain size distributions by using a Quantimet 900, Micro Image Automatic Quantitative Analyser.

     
  3. 3.

    Grain boundary migration during grain growth and other grain boundary phenomena.

     
  4. 4.

    Electro-optical observations and electro-optical property measurements of the PLZT specimens and the role of grain boundaries on these properties will be discussed.
