Abstract
The effect of exposure to elevated temperatures on dielectric and piezoelectric properties near the morphotropic phase boundary is examined, and the mechanisms of thermal degradation involved as compared to normal ferroelectric materials are discussed. The thermal degradation of dielectric and piezoelectric properties was investigated for relaxor ferroelectric compositions in the (1-x)Pb(Mg/sub 1/3/Nb/sub 2/3/)O/sub 3/-(x)PbTiO/sub 3/ family near the morphotropic phase boundary. Degradations of the radial coupling factor piezoelectric charge coefficient and mechanical quality factor were observed to be less than expected based on the temperature dependence of the polarization.ETX
