Description

Full text: Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is a ceramic witch has great interest because of their ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and other electrical properties. In this work Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 powders were synthesized by microwave hydrothermal synthesis (M-H) at 180°C without excess lead content. This method allows obtaining particles whit nanometer size, good stoichiometric controls, high purity and crystalline degree at low temperatures and short times of synthesis. Powders were synthesized with molar concentration of 0.15 mol.L-1 during different times: 30 min, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. After that the powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Gun (FEG) and photoluminescence (PL). Through analysis it is observed that the crystalline phase of PZT is obtained from 2 hours of synthesis and this same time also presents more intense PL emission. (author)
