Targeted Basic Studies of Ferroelectric and Ferroelastic Materials for Piezoelectric Transducer Applications.
Abstract
This report covers work which was carried out over the period from December 1, 1979 to November 30, 1980 in the Materials Research Laboratory of The Pennsylvania State University under ONR contract N00014-78-C-0291. This contract is for a five year program of Targeted Basic Studies of Ferroelectric and Ferroelastic Materials for Transducer Applications. The period covered by this report is the third year of operation of the program. Over this past year 31 technical papers have been published or submitted for publication. Reprints and preprints of these completed studies are submitted as technical appendices and form the bulk of the present report. The report itself has been kept to a very brief narrative description of current activities, which stresses the highlights of achievements in each area of study, and the basic interconnections between each of the different activities on the program. For convenience, the headings used earlier are retained and the work is described under the following headings: Electrostriction; Piezoelectric Composites; Grain Oriented Ceramics; Crystal Growth; Processing Studies; Phenomenological Theory; Ferroelectric Bicrystals; and Ferroelastics.
