Research Abstract |
A method of a fabrication of pyroelectric material that exhibits high pyroelectric coefficient over a wide temperature region was developed using spark plasma sintering method (SPS) by a gradation of composition between two different compositions. Conditions were widely determined and the pyroelectric material which exhibits high pyroelectric coefficient in the region between 20℃ and 50℃ was obtained. In the beguiling of this research, similar property was attained by a diffusion treatment of a SPS-sintered body from a mixture of two compositions. By this method, crack is often caused because of the volume change by diffusion. Newly developed method cleared this problem. So, the newly developed method can be applied to a wide area. In order to obtain a material having few defects, starting material is desired to be fixed at higher temperatures. However, firing at high temperatures lowers the sinterability of the material. This was overcome by a use of nano-milling technology. Preparation of BaNd_2Ti_4O_<12>/Bi_4Ti_3O_<12>/Bi_4Nd_2Ti_4O_<12> laminated material was also succeeded using the characteristics of SPS. As a preparation of starting material, methods to fabricate nano-sized zinc oxide and niobium oxide were succeeded.
