摘要
This paper presents the latest development of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics and their application to the high frequency ultrasound transducers. Three kinds of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics [(K0.5Na0.5)(0.97)Li-0.03(Nb0.9Ta0.1)O-3, K0.5Na0.5(Nb0.94Sb0.04)O-3 + 0.5mol%MnO2 and K0.5Na0.5NbO3 + 0.5mo1%MnO2] were fabricated and characterized. High frequency (40MHz) ultrasound transducers were successfully fabricated with these ceramics. The performance of the transducers were evaluated and compared with transducers fabricated from lead-based materials. The results suggest that lead-free piezoelectric materials in some degree may serve as an alterative to lead-based piezoelectric materials for high-frequency ultrasonic transducer applications.
