Abstract:

The purpose of this project is to look into the pressure enforced ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase transition as a charge release mechanism for use in fuzing. The main effort is to be directed at the effects of temperature, reverse voltage, and type of loading on compositions in the lead zirconate-lead titanate-lead stannate system containing small quantities of Nb2O5. The primary objective is to develop a material which will release a uniform charge output over a wide range of pressures, and over the entire military temperature range as a result of minimum applied pressure.
