Abstract

Composites containing micron-sized lead zirconate titanate and nanometer-sized lead sulfide in a glass matrix were prepared using a sol-gel technique. The PbS size ranged from 3.5 to 15.3 nm. It was possible to pole some of these nanocomposites. The measured values of saturation polarization, remanent polarization, and coercive field showed an increase as the PbS particle size was enhanced. The composites exhibited improvement in the piezoelectric and pyroelectric behavior as compared to that of the base glass-ceramic.
