Abstract

The ferro-electric and piezo-electric properties of polycrystalline solid solutions of lead titanate and lead zirconate are reviewed. Major variations in dielectric and electro-mechanical properties obtained by substitution of ions different in valency from the major components are presented, and a theory explaining these variations on the basis of a lattice vacancy-hole equilibrium is outlined.
