4.2.1. Material: Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) PZT is a short for lead zirconate titanate inorganic compound that has a chemical formula of Pb [ZrxTi1-x] O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). PZT is made and composed of the two chemical elements lead and zirconium combined with the chemical compound titanate while formed under extremely high temperatures. The dielectric constant of PZT can range from 300 to 3850, depending upon orientation and doping. PZT possesses piezoelectric effect meaning that it changes shape…
