Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Hard piezoelectrics are essential for high-power applications, the market share of which has increased significantly over the past few years. Acceptor-doping hardening, which relies on oxygen vacancies, has been proven to be a good practice to improve mechanical quality factors. However, the high mobility of oxygen vacancies restricts the use of acceptor-doping hardening to low driving fields and temperatures. Here, we extend the design of hard-type piezoceramics via precipitation hardening and demonstrate its large potential in (Ba,Ca)(Ti,Zr)O3. A softto- hard transition has been realized in (Ba,Ca)(Ti,Zr)O3 ceramics with an introduction of precipitates, where the mechanical quality factor and coercive field increase by over 180% and 120%, respectively. Through synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Rayleigh analysis, it is revealed that the hardening effect is attributed to the inhibition of domain wall motion by the intragranular CaTiO3 precipitates. This precipitationhardening approach offers great potential for the design of hard piezoceramics.
