The purpose of this research is to study the effect of doping Gd into Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics prepared by solid state reaction. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all PGZT samples are of tetragonal structure and the highest doping should be no more than 2 mole∈% Gd at which the unreacted oxide...
