Abstract:

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) powder was prepared by a solid state reaction. The X-ray line broadening produced in PZT powder was analyzed by the Fourier method to estimate particle size and microstrain. It was found that an increase of the annealing temperature caused the microstrain to decrease owing to an increase in particle size. The Scherrer formula used to calculate the particle size yielded considerably smaller values.
