Funded Activity Summary

Coupled Structural and Elastic Response Studies of the Phase Transformation Behaviour of Environment-Friendly, Lead-free Piezoceramics. The ultimate aim of this project is to identify high performance, environment-friendly i.e. lead free, piezoceramic materials capable of replacing the currently market dominant, lead-based materials. Such piezoceramics have widespread industrial applications. Understanding the factors that control the capacity of such materials to respond to applied stress or electric field is critical to the discovery, optimization and, ultimately, industrial exploitation of such materials. Through comprehensive experimental and theoretical studies of a number of such materials this project will enhance the ability of industry to develop new and improved materials. Development of advanced materials is a designated National Research Priority area.
