Characterization and testing of PZLT ferroelectric ceramics with two Pt implants

Recently, a new PLZT bulk single plate, called ceramic-controlled piezoelectric with two Pt wires (CCP2) has been produced; this CCP2 has two (300 μm of diameter and 1 cm long) Pt-wire implants. These isolation was validated using four experimental setups, one of them determine that ceramic-controlled piezoelectric with two Pt wires (CCP2) support up to 6 kV DC before it cracks (short cut). The second experimental setup determined high resistance about 3.9×10 9 Ω and 1.8×10 9 Ω measured on lateral sides and among Pt wires of CCP2 respectively. The third experimental setup was to obtain the current leakage from CCP2 and it was 6 nA. The fourth experimental setup was to obtain frequency response that was the maximum up to 2.2 MHz and was a pass band filter.
