Popis: The effective piezoelectric coefficient e(31) has been measured on sol-gel processed Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O-3 thin films with Zr concentrations ranging from 45 to 60%. The largest value was observed at 45% Zr, although dielectric constant and effective d(33) peak at 53% Zr. The findings suggest that the optimal composition for microactuators and sensors is less than or equal to 45% Zr, i.e., in the tetragonal part of the phase diagram.
