RESUMO

The scientific community has shown a growing interest in relating to the ferroelectric materials and it has made an effort to develop them. Among these several ferroelectric materials, we proposed to investigated Pb(ZrTi)O3 doped with distinct Er+3 concentrations. Our aim was to investigate how the erbium affects the PZT electrical properties. To determine the ideal sintering temperature of our ceramic samples, the dilatometry tests were performed. These results have showed that the erbium caused a change in sample densities (91.9% < ρ < 99.0%) as compared to undoped PZT sample. Furthermore, the X-ray diffraction results indicated that all samples are monophasic and peaks are indexed to tetragonal crystalline structure. According to these also results, there was an increment of the parameter a and a reduction of parameter c as compared to undoped PZT sample. On the other hand, the average grain size have decreased with the increment of erbium content. The electrical characterization of ours ceramics showed a peculiar ferrelectric-paraeletric phase transition around 390 ºC. Finally, the ferroelectric hysteresis measurements for doped samples in site A have revealed that remnant polarization and coercive field values depend on content. Whereas, doped samples in site B, the corresponding values are similar.
