A new PbTiO3-type giant tetragonal compound for piezoelectric materials

The solid solution consisting of PbZrO3 and PbTiO3, P(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) is the most widely used piezoelectric material due to its excellent piezoelectric properties at morphotropic phase boundaries (MPB) between rhombohedral and tetragonal structures.
