"Low-temperature sintering Sm-doped PMN–PZ–PT multilayer ceramic actuat" by Qinghu Guo, Pengbin Wang et al.
Multilayer ceramic actuators find extensive utility in applications requiring precise displacement control or force output, due to their advantages of high precision control, rapid response, low driving voltage, low power consumption, and so on. For practical applications, there is a need for high-performance multilayer ceramic actuators (MLAs) that combine cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and temperature stability. In this work, 1.5 mol%Sm-doped 0.25 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.36PbZrO3–0.39PbTiO3 piezoelectric ceramics with PbO–CuO as sintering aid were fabricated. The addition of PbO–CuO sign...
