Binder jetting is an emerging indirect additive manufacturing technique for ceramic materials, which could be employed to produce application-oriented designed components impossible achieve with traditional processes and featuring enhanced performances. In our study, niobium-doped lead zirconate titanate (PZT-N) powder, usually processed through the standard press-and-sinter route, was as raw m...

The avalanche dynamics of ferroelectric switching in lead zirconate titanate ceramics was investigated using acoustic emission. Two distinct power-law regimes for events were identified by an anomaly the histogram probability density, contrast to single behavior observed BaTiO 3 crystals. Such is ascribed different minimum cut-offs two distributions. critical energy exponents determined be 1.25...
