Abstract
Conventional and microwave sintering techniques were employed to compare the structural, electrical and piezoelectric properties of present system. It has been observed that the microwave-sintered PCT ceramics show better densification, fine and uniform grain size, low dielectric loss, and improved kt/kp ratio. This promising technique has distinguished characteristics of energy-saving, rapid processing, and uniform temperature distribution throughout the sample. The value of coercive field, Ec is slightly higher for microwave-sintered sample. The possible mechanisms are explained.
